BJP MP Tejasvi Surya took a dig at the Congress party, highlighting the crisis in its Rajasthan unit. He sarcastically remarked that it has become news when two leaders of the same party announce that they will fight elections together. Surya's comment comes after the Congress announced that Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his former deputy Sachin Pilot, who have been engaged in a leadership tussle in the state, have agreed to contest the upcoming assembly elections jointly. The assembly elections in Rajasthan are scheduled for later this year.

Surya told PTI: "The condition of the Congress party is such that two leaders within the party are announcing to fight elections together, and it is news. I wish them all the best, but I can tell you that there is a great anti-incumbency sentiment in Rajasthan, and we will form a government there with a two-thirds majority." Surya made these comments while attending a program in Bengaluru to commemorate nine years of the BJP government at the Centre.
