New Delhi, July 15 Senior Congress leader and former Karnataka chief minister M. Veerappa Moily on Wednesday said that the party has given a lot to both Sachin Pilot and Jyotiraditya Scindia and they should have waited patiently instead of being rebellious.
He also said that the move by Scindia and Pilot is suicidal and they will never be made chief ministers in the BJP.
Speaking to over phone from Bengaluru, Moily said, "This is not the time to think who is right or who is wrong but the question is the integrity of the party, which has to be maintained. Pilot got everything, he was an MP, he was a union minister, he was also made the PCC chief and deputy chief minister."
Moily's remarks came a day after the Congress sacked Pilot as both PCC chief and deputy chief minister for leading the rebellion against Ashok Gehlot in Rajasthan.
The former union minister further said that the party understands the aspirations, "but one has to learn to work in the framework of the party".
"You cannot have the aspirations to rise at the cost of the party. Pilot should have waited with patience. Of course he was aspiring youth and he was working for the party and nobody denies that," Moily said.
Moily also said that working hard does not mean one should break the rules.
Moily said that Pilot should have attended the Congress Legislature Party
