Pilot and Gehlot have always had differences, but the story boiled over after the former chief vice minister received notice to join the investigation into the alleged plot to overthrow the government of Rajasthan.
Mr. Pilot quickly went into secrecy – according to Congress – with several MPs, endangering Mr. Gehlot’s government. His team later claimed that he had the support of 30 MPs – enough to overthrow the government.
Gehlot, however, says he has 109 MPs, far more than the majority. On Saturday, he said two deputies from a regional party – the BTP – which had withdrawn support for Congress, had announced that they would support the administration.
