That’s why not one of the seven has any downside. It’s proper that he (Dushyant) does his personal politics, we do ours. We needed to grow to be MLA, we would have liked the price ticket, we were given it. Fact is that we were given our votes, votes because of the party too and we was MLA. For this reason we talk for my part. Even though, it does now not occur in a party and it will have to now not be going down. We’re party MLAs, we’re party’s workplace bearers. A party has its machine, pointers that what all will have to be spoken. It isn’t the case with us. We talk, no matter we predict is true.

I will be able to undergo the effects. If I’ve a improper idea, I will be able to undergo the effects. Because of this ongoing bandh, party has additionally now not been in a position to name a gathering. Discussions are despite the fact that held, however we’re tied up with party’s self-discipline. BJP is a larger party within the alliance, we’re a smaller party.”

Calling anti-defection a horrendous legislation, he added: “Anti-defection legislation bahut ganda kanoon hai. Desh ki azaadi ke liye, desh ki democracy ke liye bhi galat hai ye. Modi Sahab ne jis tarah se 370 dhaara todi hai na, bahut bhala kaam kiya, mandir ka nirmaan kiya , bahut badhiya kaam kiya….Isi tarah se ye jo anti-defection kanoon ban reha hai, Modi ji ko isko todna chahiye sabse pehle. Isi kanoon ne ghulam bana rakha hai. Agar ye kanoon na ho, toh badhiya raaj chale saare.”
Gautam mentioned, “Even though Union govt says those are excellent legislations, however other folks on whom those are acceptable aren’t accepting it. Then what’s the hurry of enforcing it. As such this nation has a machine the place governments don’t even settle for Ideal Courtroom’s verdicts, if it does now not swimsuit them. Punjab isn’t agreeing to offer SYL water.”
