"I am not joining BJP," said Pilot in a telephonic conversation with ANI.
The comments came a day after he was sacked as Rajasthan deputy chief minister and Pradesh Congress Committee chief by the party.
The decision to sack Pilot was taken yesterday after a CLP meeting at the Fairmont Hotel in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
At the meeting, as many as 102 MLAs unanimously demanded that Pilot should be removed from the party.

A controversy broke out in Rajasthan after special operation group (SOG) sent a notice to Pilot to record his statement in the case registered by SOG in the alleged poaching of Congress MLAs in the state.
