Bhargava said it was an unprecedented constitutional crisis. MLA Narottam Mishra said Chief Minister Kamal Nath refuted the replies of ministers only when the statements of ministers were given in the House.
Mishra said it was breach of special privileges. He asked how could any person, who is not a member of the House, ask for clarification on minister’s reply. Mishra said a motion on breach of special privileges would be brought against Kamal Nath and ex-CM Digvijaya Singh. Mishra claimed that it was first time when the replies given in the House, were being changed by calling a press conference.
CM Nath on said that he knows the constitution very well. He said BJP has got chance to sit in opposition after long time and wished them happy journey. Minister for legislative affairs Govind Singh said no reply would be sent from the PCC.
