The Congress on Wednesday charged the BJP with attempts to destabilise the Rajasthan government with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot claiming that some of the party MLAs were offered Rs 25 crore each. Gehlot-s statement came hours after the Congress took its MLAs to a Jaipur resort for a meeting ahead of the elections to three seats of the Rajya Sabha in the state on June 19. Claiming a heavy transfer of cash to Jaipur, Gehlot said there were reports about the BJP-s plan similar to that of Madhya Pradesh and some of the party MLAs were offered Rs 25 crore in cash with Rs 10 crore in advance.

But the party MLAs were -alert and united-, he said, adding that the condition of those who left the Congress to join the BJP was not good. He also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the Rajya Sabha elections were postponed under pressure because the BJP could not poach MLAs in Rajasthan and Gujarat. About the meeting with the MLAs, Gehlot said it was fruitful and they will meet again on Thursday.
