He is neither forming a new party nor joining any other party. This was the central message from the much-anticipated rally in Dausa on the occasion of his father Rajesh Pilot’s death anniversary on Sunday. However, Pilot did not miss out on attacking his bête noire and Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot and asserted that he will make no compromise with his demands for action on corruption and paper leaks, and the future of the youth. The memorial service for the late Rajesh Pilot was held, with prayers at his statue in the presence of a large gathering of Pilot supporters. The event this time was eagerly watched by observers as there was a buzz that they even could see Sachin forming a new party. After unveiling a new statue of Rajesh Pilot at a Gujjar hostel, Pilot targeted his opponents. Taking a dig at CM Gehlot’s famous jumla of 'har galti aazaa maangti hai', Pilot remarked: “Someone has rightly said that every mistake demands punishment. No matter how we are related to each other, the greatest justice is given by the one with the blue umbrella (God). If not today then tomorrow justice will definitely be done.” While he refrained from announcing any ‘drastic action’ to escalate his feud with Gehlot, Pilot insisted that he would not back down from his demands. He asserted: “I am not going to back down from the voice I have raised. Whether we hold any position or not, the public always weighs what we say and what we do. For me, the credibility with the public that I have earned ...

With just three days to go for Congress leader Sachin Pilot’s mega rally scheduled to be held in Dausa on June 11, his father Rajesh Pilot’s death anniversary, there is no clarity yet on the popular leader’s future course of action. There is speculation that Pilot may go ahead and announce his departure from the Congress at the rally and float his new party just months ahead of the Assembly elections in the state. Pilot has been on a warpath against his own party leadership in the state, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in particular, demanding that the government probe the cases of corruption in the erstwhile Vasundhara Raje-led BJP government, reconstitute the Rajasthan Public Service Commission and make fresh appointments, and compensate those affected by the cancellation of government recruitment exams due to multiple paper leaks.

Close on the heels of the Congress party’s thumping victory in Karnataka, a desert storm has emerged yet again in Rajasthan, reminding the party that it cannot afford to rest on its laurels. Sources told The Quint that the top Congress leadership will convene a meeting in the national capital on Thursday, 25 May, to figure out how to resolve the ever-evolving tussle between Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot and former deputy CM Sachin Pilot.

Within the Congress party, there is speculation that if the high command doesn’t act soon to pacify Pilot, he may announce the formation of a new political party on 11 June — his father, late Rajesh Pilot’s death anniversary. The Congress party’s meeting was scheduled after Pilot publicly threatened to up the scale of his agitation if his demands are not met by the end of the month.
