On Jul 27, 2020

Jaipur :The political crisis of Rajasthan is taking a new form every day. Meanwhile, Bahujan Samaj Party has increased the difficulties of Ashok Gehlot camp by issuing whip to all its six MLAs. BSP national general secretary Satish Chandra Mishra issued a whip, directing all 6 MLAs of the party to vote against the Congress if a no-confidence motion comes against the Gehlot government.

The BSP general secretary has also issued a notice to all the 6 MLAs, stating that since BSP is a national party and merger of the entire party in a state under para 2 (1) (b) of the Tenth Schedule is unconstitutional. The party has not merged with the Congress. At the same time, he warned all the MLAs that if someone disobeyed the directive, then action would be taken under the anti-defection law. Satish Chandra Mishra further said that all these MLAs have won the election on the BSP ticket, which was issued by the party’s national president Mayawati. Hence all the 6 MLAs are bound to obey the party’s instructions.
