Sara Abdullah and Sachin Pilot’s love story is completely filmy
Sara Abdullah and Sachin Pilot’s love story is completely filmy. Sachin was in the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, America. During that time, he met Sara, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah and sister of Omar Abdullah.
After completing his studies, Sachin Pilot returned to India from abroad, but the love between the two did not diminish. Both of them kept talking to each other for many years and then they decided to unite. They decided that their respective families should be informed about this. Both of them dared to do this, but due to Sara being a Muslim and the pilot being a Hindu, a wall of religion stood between their love.
Both the families flatly refused to get them married. Farooq Abdullah was strongly against this marriage. Sara tried to convince her father to marriage, but he did not agree. On the other hand, the pilot’s family approved his decision. After this, both of them got married in 2004. However, only members of the Pilot family attended this marriage. Abdullah’s family did not attend.
Sachin Pilot married Sara Abdullah in January 2004. Sachin Pilot entered the field of politics only after a few months of marriage. At the age of just 26, he became the youngest MP by contesting his first Lok Sabha election from Dausa and winning with a huge margin. In December 2018, when Sachin Pilot took oath as Deputy CM, Sara Pilot, both sons and Farooq Abdullah also attended the swearing-in ceremony.

In fact, in the last five years, Congress lost governments in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra due to the defection of MLAs.

Due to the performance of some MLAs in Rajasthan and public displeasure, the party wants to cancel their tickets. But the government is also under pressure to show sympathy towards ‘durable’ MLAs.
Apart from this, the party is also not finding a strong alternative to some MLAs who are performing poorly. This is the reason why the party is continuously churning after churning.
Feedback is taken from prominent leaders
Gogoi, close to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and chairman of the screening committee, brainstormed with the leaders of Rajasthan for about 16 hours two days ago.
Sources said that on the instructions of Rahul, Gogoi discussed the candidates for all the 200 seats with in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, State President Govind Singh Dotasara, Assembly Speaker CP Joshi.
After this, co-in-charge Qazi Nizamuddin, Amrita Dhawan and Virendra Singh Rathore were asked for the names of possible candidates for the assembly seats of the districts under their charge.
On the other hand, organization general secretary K.C. Venugopal has spoken separately to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and CWC member Sachin Pilot.
Now the feedback received from all these leaders and the results of about 5 surveys are being assessed at the national level. All these will be discussed in the screening committee meeting.

-If there was such a need for a caste census then why was it not done earlier?

CM Gehlot makes an announcement every time – Rajyavardhan Rathore
On the announcement of the caste census in Rajasthan, BJP MP Rajyavardhan Rathore said:-
It is the policy of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to confuse people about the development of Rajasthan.
Every time they make an announcement and put up big posters.
Why have the figures of the census conducted by Congress in the entire country in 2011 not been released yet?
You are talking about a new census when only 2 days are left in their government.
Will you remove all the government officials from the elections and put them in the census?
Videos of the Bihar census are coming out that people were not even asked about their caste. There has been fraud there.
