In his application Bayat wrote that "the authorities bear responsibility to the people for the corruption scandal, and must defeat this evil and to be transparent." "Unfortunately, the rule of law today is questionable," he said. Bayat also wrote that an oligarchic group has been formed in the ruling party and conducts its own policy, what is unacceptable and causes serious damage to the party, polarizes society.

Bayat also rejected the application of the party leader and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the recent loud corruption scandal was initiated from abroad.
