He said the BJP"s plans could not succeed in Rajasthan as the Congress did not allow them to do so.
“...

They are trying in Jharkhand also," Gehlot told reporters outside the Rajasthan Assembly.
He was replying to a question on BJP legislators protesting outside Speaker C P Joshi"s office for allegedly violating their right to ask questions by not calling a fresh session of the House and extending the 7th session.

"They (BJP MLAs) are staging a sit-in in the Speaker"s room.
Ask them, why is this happening? Why was the assembly meeting kept continuous?" he said.
