"There is a rumour that I am leaving Congress, I do not know who is spreading it," Hardik Patel was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Hardik Patel, the Congress's disgruntled Working President in Gujarat, denied that he was on the verge of leaving the party after a bitter, public outburst in which he said he felt like a "groom forced into nasbandi (vasectomy)".
"There is a rumour that I am leaving Congress, I do not know who is spreading it," Hardik Patel was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
"I have given my 100 per cent to Congress till now and will give the same in the coming days. We will do better development in Gujarat. There will be small fights and blame games within the party, but we have to work together to make Gujarat a better place," he said.
The firebrand leader added, "If speaking truth is a crime, consider me guilty. The people of Gujarat have expectations from us, we have to stand up to them."
