BJP on Monday demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on moral grounds after his government said in a reply to a question in the state Assembly that it taps phones in the interest of public safety and order. BJP linked it to the phone tapping controversy that erupted during the political crisis created by the rebellion of former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot and 18 other Congress MLAs against the leadership of Ashok Gehlot last year.
