New Delhi: The Congress on Thursday accused the BJP of "shamelessly" indulging in horse trading in poll-bound Gujarat and demanded lodging of an FIR after Patidar leader Hardik Patel alleged that he was offered Rs 1,200 crore.
The Congress claimed that this was not the sole example of the BJP allegedly resorting to misuse of money and muscle power.
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi recalled the allegations made by Narendra Patel, aide of Hardik Patel, that he was offered Rs 1 crore for switching loyalties, a charge rubbished by the ruling party. Singhvi demanded lodging of an FIR against BJP leaders, including the saffron party's chief Amit Shah, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and others. He also urged the Election Commission to probe into the allegations and publish the findings of bribery cases.
Singhvi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should speak up and asked him to implement his anti-corruption slogan of "na khaoonga, na khane doonga" completely and "not selectively".
