As per Athawale, many Congress party MLAs are ready to support the BJP in the aforementioned states. He was addressing a press conference in Jaipur, Rajasthan when he made the statements.

Athawale said, "In Karnataka, Congress MLAs resigned and the BJP government was formed. Very soon in the states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh a similar situation many occur and BJP forms the government."
