LoP Umang Singhar had filed a petition against the former Congress MLA from Vijaypur, Ramniwas Rawat and Nirmala Sapre under the anti-defection law on July 5. According to the petition both the Congress MLAs had joined BJP during Lok Sabha elections.
MLA Rawat had announced joining BJP, and submitted his resignation to the Assembly Speaker. Later he became minister. MLA Sapre had also joined the BJP during Lok Sabha elections, but she had not resigned from the Congress party or the Assembly membership.

The principal secretary of state assembly, AP Singh said that on October 21st Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar will decide on the petition.
