The BSP ticket on which six MLAs were elected - R. Gudha, Lakhan Singh, Deep Chand, JS Awana, Sandeep Kumar and Wajib Ali.

The BSP instructed all of them to vote against the Congress during the no-confidence motion or any course of action during the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly session. Earlier, BSP chief Mayawati had fiercely targeted Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and demanded imposition of President's rule in the state. She accused Gehlot of abusing the anti-defection law and now tapping phones. It was also said that betrayal has been done continuously with BSP. He had said that there is a need to impose President's rule in the state so that democracy does not have any more predicament.
