Rebel Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Monday said he was “saddened but not surprised” at the accusations being hurled at him by some people in the Congress.
Pilot, who has been silent since he was sacked as deputy CM, reacted today after Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot levelled charges at him of comprising to topple the state government and also after a party MLA Giriraj Malinga alleged that Pilot offered him money to switch sides on the eve of Rajya Sabha polls in the state.

Pilot said he would take legal action against Malinga.
“I am saddened but not surprised to be at the receiving end of such baseless and vexatious allegations being levelled against me. This has been done solely to malign me and to stifle the legitimate concerns that I had raised against the party leadership of the state,” said Pilot in a statement.
