Jaipur: Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot on Friday dismissed claims made by BJP leader Rita Bahuguna Joshi that she had spoken to him about joining the ruling party “Rita Bahuguna Joshi claimed that she had spoken to Sachin. She might have spoken to Sachin Tendulkar.

She does not have the courage to speak to me,” Pilot told reporters during a protest organized by the Congress in Jaipur against fuel price hike.

Earlier last year, Pilot had openly rebelled against the leadership of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, and after a month-long political crisis, the party high command assured him of resolving the issues raised by him and formed a committee. The Pilot camp, however, says that the issues are unresolved and nothing was done by the committee.
