Meanwhile, the BSP has sent a letter to Governor Kalraj Mishra and the Speaker of the Rajasthan Vidhan Sabha C P Joshi to prevent the six former BSP MLAs from voting in the Rajya Sabha election.

The six BSP MLAs Rajendra Singh Gudha, Jogendra Singh Awana, Wajib Ali, Lakhan Singh, Deep Chand, and Sandeep Yadav had won the 2018 Assembly elections, but later the six MLAs as a collective decision merged with the Congress and were granted approval by the Speaker.

Bhagwan Singh, the state unit chief of the BSP said that the merger of the six BSP MLAs in Congress was an illegal act and it is being questioned in the Supreme Court. The apex court is yet to give its verdict on the plea of the BSP for their disqualification under the anti-defection law and till the matter is decided the six erstwhile BSP MLAs should be prevented from voting in the Rajya Sabha poll.

Bhagwan Singh said that the BSP has decided to prevent its six erstwhile members to cast their votes in the Rajya Sabha election. He said these six MLAs who have merged with the Congress should not be allowed to vote and the party would move a plea in the Supreme Court to prevent them from voting in the Rajya Sabha elections.

After the merger of the six MLAs into Congress, both BSP and BJP moved to the Rajasthan High Court against their merger but did not get any relief from the High Court.
