Jaipur/IBNS: Ending speculations, Rajasthan Congress leader Sachin Pilot Sunday did not make an announcement to launch his political outfit, something which the political pundits were speculating owing to his long-time feud with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, as he led a mega event to mark the death anniversary of his father, Rajesh Pilot, in his home turf of Dausa.

The 45-year-old, however, strove to hard sell his credentials as a crusader against corruption and for helping the disadvantaged.

Calling for clean politics, he said: "I have spoken up for a better future for the youth. People here have always supported me. My voice is not weak, I will not step back. The nation needs politics of truth. I don't want people to play with the future of the youth. My policy is clear, I want clean politics."

A memorial service, like every year, was held, with prayers at the statue of the late Rajesh Pilot and the unveiling of a new statue at a Gujjar hostel.

The program was eagerly watched over buzz that it could mark a new chapter in Rajasthan politics.

Before the event, Pilot's supporters denied speculation that he may launch a new party with six months to go for elections in Rajasthan. But the Congress leader maintained an intriguing silence on the issue, keeping everyone guessing about his next step.

The Congress party has sought to allay the rumours of a new party being launched, stating that they will fight the elections unitedly.

Asked about the developments in Rajasthan, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said, "Our party president and we surely feel there will be a positive solution to this issue."
