Rajendra Gudha along with five other BSP MLAs had switched sides and joined the Congress.

"We are not the people of Congress culture. We had saved the government and my culture is to do work immediately," he told reporters here.

"They should be asked to revert back after doing work, instead of making a request. It is my suggestion and officers should be dealt with like this," he said after a public hearing in the Congress office here. Expressing dissatisfaction over the low turnout of people in the public hearing, he said the system should be strengthened.

Gudha said 500-1,000 people normally come to meet him in the public hearing in his constituency but the number of people who came to the Congress office was quite low.
