Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot on Wednesday accused the BJP of "doing politics" over issues like the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Amendment Act as the nation goes through an "economic slowdown". "They (the BJP) are doing politics and the economy is slowing down. That is why I think the government should introspect," Mr Pilot said.

Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister and Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Monday said that the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill is against the Constitution of the country. "We oppose this amendment because it is against the Constitution. The citizenship issue is being politicised. There is more political motivation behind the government's move than the will to serve the people of the country," Mr Pilot said.

The Congress wants a "grand temple" to be built in Ayodhya, Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot said on Friday, days after the Supreme Court (SC) cleared the way for the construction of the shrine in the Hindu holy town. Sachin Pilot also said the SC's decision was acceptable to all and people should now stop doing politics on the issue.
