indiaUpdated: Aug 17, 2020 14:47 ISTSacked Congress leader Sanjay Jha said on Monday several lawmakers of the party have approached Sonia Gandhi with a request to bring in a change in the leadership and demanded transparent polls within the organisation. The letter, mentioned by Jha, comes days after the Congress party tided over a month-long political crisis in Rajasthan triggered by a rebellion by Sachin Pilot. On July 14, Pilot was sacked from the posts of the deputy chief minister and the state Congress president after his revolt. The move came after Sanjay Jha put out a series of tweets in support of Pilot. Before this, Jha was also sacked as the party spokesperson after he criticised the party leadership in an article.
