Goa Congress legislator Vishwajit Rane today scotched rumours that he was leaving the party and floating his own political outfit in the forthcoming state polls.
"I am going to contest the next election on Congress ticket. There is no possibility of me leaving the party," he said reacting to media reports about his plans to float the 'Sattari Yuva Manch'.
