New Delhi, Apr 9 (PTI) After Sachin Pilot fired a fresh salvo at the Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan, All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge of state Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Sunday said it was “not appropriate” for Pilot to hold a press conference in this manner and he should have raised the issue with him first.

Randhawa, who was made AICC in-charge of Rajasthan last December, said he had had more than 20 meetings with Pilot since taking over but the former deputy chief minister had not raised the corruption issue with him.

“We have talked about various issues but he did not raise this issue, and then going straight to the press…saying that we are not acting on corruption…,” Randhawa told PTI.
