After the Congress on Tuesday sacked Sachin Pilot from the posts of Rajasthan's Deputy Chief Minister and the party's state unit chief, the leader has finally issued a response. In a tweet in Hindi, Sachin Pilot said that truth can be disturbed, not defeated. Pilot was the deputy chief minister and also held the portfolios of public works department as well as the Panchayati Raj Ministry.

Pilot, Ramesh Meena, the state’s food and civil supplies minister, and tourism minister Vishvendra Singh were dropped after they along with others kept away from the Congress’ Legislature Party (CLP) meeting in Jaipur on Monday as well as Tuesday. 

Meanwhile, CM Ashok Gehlot met Governor Kalraj Mishra, at Raj Bhawan in Jaipur and Mishra has accepted Gehlot's proposal to remove Sachin Pilot as Deputy CM, and Vishvender Singh and Ramesh Meena as ministers. Ashok Gehlot alleged that the BJP is conspiring to bring down the Congress government in the state and said that he has warned his partymen to "not fall for BJP's trap".
