Last month, in a letter to BJP state president Satish Poonia, Raje loyalists had demanded that all BJP MLAs be given an equal opportunity to speak in the Assembly.
A fourth term MLA, Garg has been a swayamsevak with the RSS since long and hails from the Scheduled Caste (SC) community, same as Kailash Mehgwal, and while Meghwal has been the Assembly Speaker, Garg has been a minister in the Bhairon Singh Shekhawat government.
