The "fever" to destabilise a state government rises when Rajya Sabha elections are due, the Congress said on Thursday,accusing the BJP of abducting 14 of its MLAs in Madhya Pradesh.

Three Rajya Sabha seats are falling vacant in the state and they are currently held by Digvijaya Singh (Congress), Satyanarayan Jatiya and Prabhat Jha (both from BJP).

"Ever since the BJP has come to power at the national level, the democracy of the country is being finished in every state one byone. It started with Arunachal Pradesh," senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad told a press conference.

The BJP's policy has always been to ensure that states donot get any government except that of the party, he said.

"Where ever other parties have made governments, their(BJP's) aim has been to destabilise them. This fever to destabilise state governments rises when the Rajya Sabha elections are due," Azad said.

The efforts in Madhya Pradesh to break the government is not new, "we condemn it, we will raise it in Parliament", he said.
