'Absolutely okay' with party decision, have to work for ensuring victory of all candidates: Pilot on ticket to Gehlot loyalist
Ashok Gehlot loyalist Shanti Dhariwal from the Kota North seat in Rajasthan, senior leader Sachin Pilot on Tuesday said he was «absolutely okay» with whatever decision the party has taken as dwelling on the past is not productive. The ticket distribution was by and large «very fair» with the winnability factor adhered to, he said, adding the priority now was to work for ensuring the victory of all candidates selected by the party.
In an interview with PTI on board a flight from Delhi to Indore in Madhya Pradesh where he will be on a campaign trail for two days, Pilot said he was working in Rajasthan with the mantra of «forgive, forget and move on» as advised by party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and former AICC president Rahul Gandhi.
Asked about Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's past barbs such as 'nikamma' directed at him, Pilot said, «Leave it! Who said what I can be responsible for what I have said or not said.
We should maintain dignity in political discussions.»
«Whoever said all those words you mentioned, I did not respond in kind because it is not the way I am built and we now have to move on, let bygones be bygones, whatever was said, we need to forget and move forward. It is not about individuals or positions or someone's words and statements now.
It is about the country and the party,» Pilot said.
