JAIPUR: Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Monday raised concerns over the escalating internal friction within the state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, pointing out that ministers are frequently absent from sessions, resignations have been submitted, and it remains unclear who is even part of the cabinet. He added that the government is grappling with crucial issues such as sub-inspector (SI) recruitment, paper leaks, backlogs and loans, while unrest within the ruling party continues to grow.

"There is so much friction; ministers are not attending the assembly sessions, resignations have been submitted, and it is unclear who is even part of the cabinet. Whether it is the issue of SI recruitment, paper leaks, backlogs, or loans, the government is on the back foot on every front, and this internal unrest is rising. The tension and stress within the government keep spilling out over time," he said, addressing the media on his way to Karauli.
