No CBI influence exerted on SP chief: Congress
18 Dec 2012 6:53 AM IST
The Congress on Monday rejected the Sam-ajwadi Party’s charge that the CBI was used to influence its decision in the foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail and jobs quota bill.
‘There is no question of any influence. There is no proof of it,’ Congress spokesperson PC Chacko told mediapersons.
The Samajwadi Party on Sunday alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was being used to trap its president, Mulayam Singh Yadav.
The SP’s remark came ahead of the crucial vote on a bill on Monday evening that promises reservation to the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and the Scheduled Tribes (STs) in job promotions.
Both the SP and the BSP had helped the ruling UPA win the parliament vote on FDI in retail.
‘The SP and the BSP took their positions on FDI on their own. I don’t think a leader of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s stature would be afraid of CBI,’ Congress spokesperson PC Chacko told mediapersons.
