Reiterating his demand for a probe into what he alleged was corruption during the previous BJP regime, Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Sunday said he would keep fighting to secure justice for youth and farmers and to protect their future. Mr. Pilot said he would not back down on his demands, including compensation for paper leaks that held up exams conducted for government jobs.
Mr. Pilot addressed a rally in Dausa after unveiling a statue of his father and former Union Minister Rajesh Pilot at a Gujjar hostel on his 23rd death anniversary. The former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister did not announce the launch of a new political outfit or a split away from the Congress, belying peculation which was rife in political circles here.
Amid his ongoing power tussle with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Mr. Pilot said he would speak fearlessly on all issues of public interest, while supporting truth and honesty. “My credibility is my biggest priority and I am not going to compromise even in adverse circumstances... People’s trust [in me] is the biggest asset for me,” he said.
