“Knew He Was Useless, Did Not Question In The Interest Of The Party,” Ashok Gehlot Targets Sachin Pilot

Gehlot also added that “nobody would have ever heard in history that a party’s state head is busy toppling his own government”

JAIPUR| Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday once again launched a scathing attack on his former deputy Sachin Pilot saying that he always knew that he was “worthless” and “good for nothing”, but kept quiet in party’s interest.

Gehlot said while addressing a press conference, “Hum jaante the ye nikamma hai, nakara hai, koi kaam nahi kar raha hai, khali logon ko ladwa raha hai. Main yahan koi baingan bechne nahi aaya hun, main koi sabzi bechne nahi aaya hun, CM banne aya hoon (I knew that he was useless, good for nothing, and was only there to induce fight among people. I am not here to sell vegetables. I am the CM). But still we did not question this in the interest of the party.”

“Rajasthan is the only state where no demand was raised to change the PCC president in seven years,” the chief minister said, adding that Pilot “used to talk about a conspiracy to topple his government but nobody believed that he (Pilot), having an innocent face, good command over English and Hindi and influence over the media across the country, can do this.”

Gehlot also added that “nobody would have ever heard in history that a party’s state head is busy toppling his own government.”

Gehlot also claimed that some MLAs who were crying that their phones were snatched away, wanted to return. Earlier in the day, Congress MLA Girraj Singh alleged that Pilot offered him Rs 35 crore to join the BJP.

‘I Own The Responsibility’: Twitter Co-founder Jack Dorsey Apologizes Amid Mass Layoffs Under Elon Musk

ANI

Co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, issued an apology on Saturday to those who were working at present and had been laid off since Elon Musk’s takeover of the microblogging site.

In the midst of the massive layoffs at the San Francisco-based social media behemoth, Dorsey asserted that he was to blame for everyone’s present situation and that he was aware that many people were ‘angry’ with him. He expressed regret for growing the “company too quickly.” “Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment is. I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that,” he wrote on Twitter.

While expressing his gratitude and love for every individual who has ever worked for Twitter, he added that he did not anticipate that sentiment to ever be reciprocated.

“I am grateful for, and love, everyone who has ever worked on Twitter. I don’t expect that to be mutual in this moment…or ever…and I understand.”

As per the reports of the New York Post, Dorsey one of four co-founders of Twitter stepped down as CEO a year ago this month.

Dorsey created a social media business called Bluesky, a new kind of decentralised network that claims to give users and developers greater power, just a little over a week after his fellow billionaire Elon Musk purchased Twitter for an estimated $44 billion and started firing half the workforce.

According to New York Post, Dorsey, who also founded the monetary-payment company Block, chose to roll over his $1 billion stake, or 18 million shares, in Twitter rather than cashing out.

Elon Musk started laying off Twitter employees on Friday. As per an unsigned internal memo seen by The Verge, Twitter employees were notified in the email that the layoffs were set to begin. Musk is expected to cut roughly half of Twitter’s roughly 7,500-person workforce. The layoff came a week after Musk became the Twitter owner.
