Chief minister Ashok Gehlot had "unconstitutionally" merged six MLAs of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) with the Congress in Rajasthan, he did the same in his earlier tenure too, for which we wanted to teach him and his party a lesson, said BSP chief Mayawati. The BSP chief added that her party could have gone to courts earlier but decided to wait for the "right opportunity". "In Rajasthan, after the election results, BSP gave unconditional support of all its 6 MLAs to Congress. Unfortunately, chief minister Ashok Gehlot, out of his malicious intent and to damage BSP, merged them with Congress unconstitutionally. He did the same even during his earlier tenure," Mayawati said.
