Former Rajasthan deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot, on Monday, 20 July, referred to Congress MLA Giriraj Singh Malinga’s allegations against him as “baseless”, “vexatious” and “concocted”, reported ANI.
Giriraj Singh Malinga had reportedly alleged that Pilot had offered him Rs 35 crore to join the BJP and cross vote in the Rajya Sabha elections.
Pilot told ANI that he will be taking appropriate and strictest legal recourse available to him. Pilot also said that he remains unfettered and firm in his beliefs and convictions.
He further alleged that this was being done solely to malign him and “to stifle legitimate concerns that I raised against the Rajasthan party leadership, as member and MLA of congress.”
Meanwhile hearing on a plea filed by Sachin Pilot and 18 MLAs on the disqualification notices issued to them by Assembly speaker has been fixed for 10:30 am on Tuesday.
