Pros With Respect to Competition

• He has the qualities of a leader. He has a zeal for making India a better place to live for the poor. He has inherited all the qualities that a leader should posess from his politician father late Rajesh Pilot.
• He accepted various challenges and focused from national politics to state level challenges. He travelled for over five lakh kilometres of Rajasthan to reach out people and to strengthen his party. He could establish a grass route connect with urban as well as rural people. He was also reaching out to tech savvy youth of engaging with grassroots worker but also dealing with the galaxy of party stalwarts in the state. Due to this he won tonk (Lok Sabha) seat with a margin of more than 54,000 votes. His competitors might not have that level of mass connect which led him to win.
• He has also introduced high-speed internet facilities in rural areas and has always looked for the development and upliftment of the villages and other backward areas in India.
• Due to his affability, kindness, approachability and hands-on approach as the state unit chief has won him several supporters both within the party and outside.
• He had made a Citizens Alliance against malnutrition and to eradicate problems like hunger which are faced by millions on Indians.
• He has travelled in the country to explore new possibilities for the farmers and youth of the nation.

Cons With Respect to Competition

• Sachin Pilot is a Gujjar leader so was supported by his community but Ashok Gehlot supporters in the Congress used his caste fault line to threaten Pilot’s prospects to become the chief minister of Rajasthan. Ashok is a Mali by caste, and which helped him to clear of the opposition that different caste groups share in Rajasthan.
• First time in the history of the Congress, there was a fight for leadership on to the streets. Supporters of Sachin Pilot blocked highways, roads and threatened to resign and made the fight ugly. In Jaipur, supporters of Pilot made a huge issue, making the leadership issue (Pilot v. Ghelot) resemble a shouting contest.
• Sachin was not better equipped with their existing networks to generate resources for the party as his competitor Ashok Ghelot was. Ashok Ghelot became CM for the third time and was aware of the tactics used in politics. Also, the citizens have already seen him twice as the CM and his work.
• Ashok Gehlot, a veteran Congressman who has twice been Rajasthan's chief minister, will now return to the top job after five years of BJP rule. The new CM of Rajasthan was the MP, Union junior minister and was sometimes also called 'Rajasthan's Gandhi' for his simple lifestyle and mass connect. Whereas, Sachin might not have that level of mass connect which backfired him.

Recommendations for 2nd Generation Leaders

• In politics, hard decisions have to be taken and implemented, the outcomes (negative or positive) have to be handled, damage has to be controlled, egos have to be shattered and discipline has to be enforced.
• Sachin Pilot should try to increase the employment opportunities and should help in the education of the poor (especially backward regions). They should try to decrease the corruption level and thinking for the country’s welfare rather than their own welfare.
• Gap should not exist between different generations in terms of thinking, policy implementation and in respect to various other things because it can result in clashes within the party or might lead to collapse of the party.
• One should not lack ruthlessness. If someone is too mild and mellow to take decisions thinking that it may hurt people around him can never be great leader.
• The leader should be educated and have proper knowledge and skills then only he/she can make required changes that are necessary for the country. Also, then only he/she can take the decisions properly.
• Mistakes made by the previous generation leaders should not be repeated by the next generation leaders. They should learn from them and should try to improve.
• A good leader should be able to inspire and motivate other people. He/ she should be a good communicator and listener otherwise important messages won’t reach or heard.
