Apart from alleging horse trading, sources also said that BJP candidates were arrested in the state and were only released when the court granted them bail. 

Speaking to media, he said:

"At least 10 MLAs have told me now that they are getting phone calls where they are being offered money & posts. They (BJP) have been trying this since day 1, have proved the majority at least 4 times in the last 5 months. They want to do it again, we have no problem. They'll try their best to disturb the present govt to save themselves from getting exposed. Govt is ready for the floor test," MP CM Kamal Nath said.

One day after the exit polls were declared, the BJP in the state under the leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava challenged a floor test to the Kamal Nath government that has 114 seats over the Opposition's (BJP) 109 seats.
