India News | Pilot Betrayed Party: Cong Leader

Jaipur, Jul 15 (PTI) Former AICC secretary Moolchand Meena on Wednesday slammed dissident Congress leader Sachin Pilot, saying he betrayed the party despite being given position and respect.

“His rebellion despite the fact that he was given everything by the party is surprising. He was established in Rajasthan but he worked to damage the party with longing for a post and childishness,” the senior Congress leader said in a statement.
