When asked as to when will he return Bhopal, Tandon said he was on leave till March 12 to celebrate Holi with his family.

"At present, I am a spectator. Once I return there, only then can I make any comment after seeing all things, letters in which people have made some complaints," Tandon said responding to when will he call any party to prove majority in the House.

"As of now, I am at my home meeting everyone on the occasion of Holi," he said.
