Rebel Congress leader Sachin Pilot, who was ousted as Rajasthan Congress president and deputy CM, broke his silence and gave an interview to a news channel.

"I am not going to join the BJP. I have been fighting a long battle against the BJP for the last five years. I have sat the Congress in Rajasthan. It is not fair to assume that any party or individual is trying to take political advantage of the current situation," he said. That I am going to join them.

"Some people are tarnishing my image by saying that I am going to join the BJP. I have not uttered a single bad word for the Congress party. I have said 1000 times that I am not going to join the BJP. Rumors are being spread by my opposition camp," Pilot said. However, I do not want to rush into deciding the future.

"Let the atmosphere cool down a bit, it's not even 24 hours since the events in Rajasthan. I'm still a Congress worker," Pilot said.

Answering a question on Rahul Gandhi, the pilot said, "Rahul Gandhi is no longer the Congress president. Ever since Rahul resigned as president, Gehlot and his party friends have opened a front against me. It has been difficult for me to maintain my self-esteem."
