Days after the Congress leadership projected that the tussle in its Rajasthan unit was on hold, Sachin Pilot reiterated his unwavering position on the issues of corruption and the welfare of the youth. He emphasized that he refuses to make any compromises on these matters. 

While addressing the media in Tonk, Sachin Pilot said, "It is not possible for me to make any kind of compromise on corruption and with the future of the youth. I made a promise to the youth in my meeting in Jaipur on May 15 and what I had said at that time, I have put in front of the party leaders in Delhi and now everything is in the notice of the top leaders of the party."

The dissident Congress leader indicated that it was the last day before what was being seen as an ultimatum to chief minister Ashok Gehlot ends. “So, let us see what happens tomorrow," he told reporters.

Pilot called for decisive action by the state government, urging them to initiate an investigation into the alleged corruption that occurred under the previous Vasundhara Raje-led government. He also emphasized the need for significant reforms within the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC). 

"The corruption and loot that took place during the tenure of the previous Vasundhara government should be effectively investigated, while the youth who were wronged should also get justice. Radical changes should be brought in RPSC also. I am waiting for the state government to take action on all these," Pilot said.

He also mentioned that he has done nothing wrong by putting the grievances of the youth in front of top Congress leaders in Delhi.

"Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also reiterated many times that our party is against corruption and works on the policy of zero tolerance, as well as our party will not tolerate any atrocities against the youth So there is nothing wrong in what I said," he said.

On Monday, the Congress High Command summoned Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot for separate meetings with party president Mallikarjuna Kharge, addressing the political tussle in the state. Following the meetings, the Congress projected a united front, emphasizing that both leaders will collaborate to counter the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming elections.

In this regard, KC Venugopal said, "We have decided to fight elections unitedly. Definitely, we will win the elections in Rajasthan. Both Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot have unanimously agreed with the proposal."

Earlier Pilot had launched a 5-day Jan Sangharsh Yatra' to protest against the inaction of the Rajasthan government in the alleged corruption cases during the previous Vasundhara Raje-led BJP government in the State.
