BJP’s national spokesperson Sambit Patra launched an attack at the ruling Congress party  and demanded for a CBI inquiry into the matter. He said: “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?”

The 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," he added.

Two FIRs have been registered by Congress leader Mahesh Joshi pertaining to the audio clips on the alleged conspiracy to topple the Rajasthan government on Friday.

Randeep Singh Surjewala on Saturday, read out a transcript of alleged audio of horse-trading between rebel MLAs and BJP at a press conference.

Rajasthan was plunged into a political crisis after former Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Sachin Pilot upped the ante against Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot claiming that the Gehlot government was in minority.

Pilot has the support of 18 MLAs. While the former PCC chief has been silent, there was little information on his whereabouts and those of the MLAs who mounted the rebellion with him.

They had been in a resort in Haryana till Friday evening when the Rajasthan special operations group reached for their voice samples but could not meet them.

Some Congress leaders alleged that they had been taken to another BJP-ruled state but no one was quite sure.
