| Cash-for-ticket charges are now coming from BJP ranks. Vishvendra Singh, the Bharatpur MP and Rajasthan CM's advisor, is saying that the seat he wanted was sold.
"So many people came to me promising money. That is why my seat has gone to someone who is part of the corrupt regime," he said.
But, a rattled BJP has refused to probe the charge.
"There is no truth in these allegations," party leader Gopinath Munde said.
While the BJP is fighting a battle, the Congress fights a war. It wonders what to do with the 13 complaints of seat sale sent to Sonia Gandhi.
While new complaints keep throwing up surprises, past elections have come back to haunt when Congress leader Narendra Swamy had alleged that Congress sold tickets and its leader should be put through narco-analysis.
The Congress is confused. Today it removed Yogendra Makhwana from the chair of its SC/ST cell for backing Margaret Alva's charge. But this step did little about the mounting charges.
Margret Alva had said it. BJP and Congress leaders too are saying that seats are sold. We know that money is used to buy votes. Rs one crore was dumped in Parliament as alleged bribe for MPs completing the circle of corruption. But there is no probe, nor any accountability
