Looking to teach Ashok Gehlot a lesson for theft of BSP MLAs: Mayawati

Lucknow/IBNS: In more worries for the Rajasthan Congress, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Tuesday said she would go to the Supreme Court fighting the alleged theft of her six MLAs by the grand old party, intending to teach a lesson to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.

Mayawati said as quoted by media, "BSP could have gone to the court earlier too but we were looking for a time to teach the Congress party and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot a lesson. Now we have decided to go to the Court. We will not let this matter alone. We will go even to the Supreme Court."

"Can Congress high command not see who the thief in Rajasthan is? Can they not see Mr Gehlot? It is easy for them to point fingers at BSP. We want to teach the Congress a lesson. They want to hide their faults so they call us puppets of BJP. They should stop the fake outrage," the BSP supremo said.

Mayawati has already issued a whip to her six party MLAs to vote against the Congress' Rajasthan government, if a floor test is conducted in the assembly to check if Gehlot enjoys the majority to remain in power.

However technically, Mayawati does not have any MLA in the state now as all elected BSP MLAs had merged with the Congress.

The BSP had earlier approached the Election Commission (EC) to consider the six MLAs as its own during the Rajya Sabha polls.

But the EC had refused to intervene in that saying it was in the Speaker's domain.

The Congress plunged into a political crisis, which is deepening with every passing day, more than a couple of weeks ago when Pilot went to Delhi revolting against Gehlot, after being allegedly sidelined in his own party.
