The Hindu
Congress leader Sachin Pilot on April 23, 2023 asserted he will continue with his agitation against his own government for action against the corruption in the previous BJP government.
Former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot on Sunday (April 23) asserted he will continue with his agitation against his own government for action against the corruption in the previous BJP government.
Mr. Pilot said he is not backing down from the stand he has taken against the State Congress government and has been “politely requesting” it to take action in corruption cases from the previous dispensation.

He said despite his daylong fast on April 11, no action has been taken in such cases.
"Speaking truth, raising voice against corruption and injustice, is among the values of the Congress party. Following these values, I observed one-day fast on April 11. Today, it's been two weeks, no action has been taken so far.
"So, again I am politely requesting the government to fulfil the promises we had made to the people," Mr. Pilot told reporters here, adding that now even demanding action against corruption is being termed ‘anti-party’ activity.
Mr. Pilot was speaking to media after offering his prayers at Jhadkhad Temple (Shiv Temple) in the city.
