New Delhi: The Bahujan Samaj Party issued a whip to its “Rajasthan MLAs” asking them not to support the Gehlot government in case of a trust vote. In response, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has dubbed BSP as “undeclared spokespersons of the BJP”.
“Undeclared spokespersons of the BJP have issued a whip in support of the BJP. But, this is not a whip but a clean chit to those who murder democracy and the Constitution,” she said in a tweet in Hindi.
While the BSP MLAs have claimed that they have joined the Congress of their own will, the BSP has been claiming that since theirs is a national party, the local unit cannot merge on its own.
The Congress government in Rajasthan led by Ashok Gehlot is facing a crisis after 19 of its rebel MLAs including Sachin Pilot revolted against it.
