Rajasthan Sports Minister Ashok Chandna hit out at former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot soon after a shoe was thrown at him, allegedly by a supporter of Pilot, at a mass meeting that was attended by both BJP and Congress leaders. However, the footwear did not reach the dais due to the distance.

“If Sachin Pilot becomes the chief minister getting a shoe thrown at me, then he will succeed soon as I do not feel like fighting today. The day I decide to fight, there will only be one survivor and I do not want this,” Minister Chandna wrote in a tweet.

The shoe-hurling incident happened during the event organized to mark the immersion of Colonel Kirori Singh Bainsla’s ashes, a Gurjar leader who launched several protests in Rajasthan to win the Gurjar community reservation in government jobs and educational institutions.

BJP MP and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, BJP state president Satish Poonia, and sports minister Ashok Chandna were among those present during the event.

However, Pilot, who belongs to the Gurjar community, was not to be seen.
