Madan Mohan Jha said BJP was trying to bring down the Gehlot government in Rajasthan. "They have always been playing against the mandate.
They pulled down the elected government in
Madhya Pradesh by wrong means to come to power. They can go to any extent for coming to power," he said.

Prem Chandra Mishra said the his party wanted to give a message that democracy was in danger. "When assembly sessions can be held in states like Bihar, Mizoram and Meghalaya, why not in Rajasthan? BJP says Congress does not have a majority. When we want to prove it, they are not letting it happen," he said.
When asked about staging protest in a pandemic situation in Bihar, Mishra replied, "It was not a protest. Rather, we wanted to meet the governor and had sent him information a day before. He had also told us of giving time. However, he did not. Then we went there and submitted our memorandum. Also, our party members were putting on masks and gloves," added Mishra.
