This occured only days after reports appeared that the conflict inside the Rajasthan's Congress government had flared up again, with a minister accusing supporters of the former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot for stirring up trouble by having shoes thrown at him at a public event.
Notably, this incident happened at a rally conducted before the immersion of Gurjar chieftain Kirori Singh Bainsla's ashes in Pushkar Sarovar in the Ajmer district. Pilot did not attend the gathering.
A day after the incident, Chandna told his followers that earlier this week in Bundi's Hindoli town that many developments had been happening in Rajasthan over the past one to two days.
Earlier this week, Pilot's supporters in the crowd began hooting as soon as Ashok Chandna, Industries Minister Shakuntala Rawat, Sports Minister Chandna, and other Congress leaders got on the dais.
The supporters were upset that the former deputy chief minister was allegedly not invited to the programme.
On Monday night, Chandna expressed his displeasure about the event on Twitter. "A wonderful sight was seen when Rajendra Rathore, the then cabinet member who ordered the killing of 72 people, was applauded when he came on stage and shoes were thrown at those whose family members went to jail in the agitation," he tweeted.
A few hours later, he tweeted again challenging Pilot. "If Sachin Pilot can become chief minister by getting a shoe thrown at me, then he should do it soon because today I do not feel like fighting. The day I fight, then only one will be left and I do not want this," he said.
