BJP demands Gehlot’s resignation over phone tapping allegations In its reply to MP Kalicharan’s query, the Home Department stated that telephones are intercepted in the interest of public safety and order On Monday BJP demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on moral grounds after his government replied to a question in the state Assembly that it taps phones in the interest of public safety and order. Though the reply did not say it tapped phones of Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhwat and supporters of former deputy CM Sachin Pilot after a rebellion in the Congress last year, the BJP linked it with the episode and demanded for a CBI probe.
