New Delhi, march 2 :
Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Digvijay Singh on Monday launched a scathing attack on the BJP alleging that its leaders, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Narottam Mishra, were trying to lure the Congress party Legislators in Madhya Pradesh to destabilise the state government.
He accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders of offering Rs 25 to 35 crore to Congress MLA’s and that the saffron party was giving Rs five crore in advance and the remaining amounts in parts.
Accusing the BJP of looting Madhya Pradesh during its reign for 15 years, Singh said the party is not ready to sit in the opposition and that is why it has been adopting such ill methods.
“I want to warn the BJP that it is not Karnataka. Not a single Congress MLA from Madhya Pradesh is for sale,” Singh said, while interacting with the media inside Parliament premises.
“I want to say that on one side the BJP government is giving free hand to the Income Tax, ED and CBI to conduct raids against the Congress governments, and on the other side it is distributing money to purchase the Congress MLAs.”
Singh said he was openly saying this with the facts.
“I have never made any allegations. Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Narottam Mishra both had a dispute over who will become the Chief Minister. But, now it has been decided that one would be Chief Minister and the other Deputy Chief Minister.
