The Bharatiya Janata Party asked whether the Rajasthan government ‘indulged in phone tapping’, a day after purported audio clip surfaced about conspiracy to topple the state government.

“State Government should answer whether they indulged in phone tapping as Chief Minister and their other leaders are saying the audio is authentic whereas in FIR it is mentioned as purported,” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said.

“Was phone tapping done in Rajasthan, and if so, did the state government follow standard procedure,” he said on the audio clips released by the Congress.

“We demand a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into this matter, whether phone tapping was done or SOPs were followed. Is there an emergency situation in Rajasthan? Are all political parties being targeted this way?” Patra said, addressing the media.

Congress Chief Whip Mahesh Joshi had lodged a complaint demanding a probe and registration of a first information report under sedition charges against three persons — Congress MLA Bhanwarlal Sharma, Gajendra Singh and Sanjay Jain — who were allegedly discussing a conspiracy to topple the state government in one of the three audio recordings that went viral on social media Thursday.
