Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Sunday strived for “clean politics” in Rajasthan as he led the mega event to mark the death of his father Rajesh Pilot.

Pilot made the assertion at his home turf—Dausa, the reports 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," the reports quoted Sachin Pilot as having said.

The reports said Rajesh Pilot’s death anniversary was commemorated with prayers at his statue and the unveiling of a new statue at a Gujjar hostel.?

There were speculations that Sachin Pilot will announce new party at the function, however he proved political pundits wrong. He has also maintained a silence on the issue, keeping everyone guessing about his next move.

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

The above report quoted Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate saying, "Our party president, and we surely feel there will be a positive solution to this issue."

Congress General Secretary (Organization) KC Venugopal also dismissed rumours that Sachin Pilot may announce his own party and asserted that the Congress will contest Rajasthan's assembly polls unitedly, it said.

"I don't believe in rumours. The reality is that the Congress president and Rahul Gandhi discussed with Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot and after that, we said that we will go together. That is the position of the Congress party," Venugopal told news agency PTI.

Both Pilot and Gehlot shared messages on Twitter, hailing Rajesh Pilot, without addressing the tension.

In a bid to defuse the tensions between its top leaders in Rajasthan in an election year, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi held marathon discussions with Gehlot and Pilot last week.?
