This type of politics should be avoided. She should understand it and I hope, she will understand soon. The challenge for the country today is to protect the frontiers and for which we need to be together and stand as one," he said.

When it is a matter of national importance, we should rise above party politics. Today, the entire country and opposition should stand together in this need of crisis," he added.
Commenting upon the accusation levelled against BSP for breaking opposition unity against the government, Bhadoria said, "Congress engineered defection through money power in Rajasthan and made our MLAs to join Congress party.
