Rajasthan Politics: BJP posts five questions before Congress
New Delhi : The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday slammed Congress over the turf between CM Ashok Gehlot and now former Deputy CM Sachin Pilot. Addressing a press conference, BJP leader Sambit Patra asked Congress to clarify if the Rajasthan government indeed indulged in phone tapping and called for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the matter.
"State government should answer whether they indulged in phone tapping as Chief Minister and their other leaders are saying the audio is authentic whereas in FIR it is mentioned as purported," said Sambit Patra.
He then posted five questions on Congress:
(1.) Has the state government indulged in phone tapping in Rajasthan?
(2.) If the tapping has indeed happened, is it not sensitive and a statutory matter?
(3.) Have all the SOPs been followed in tapping phones?
(4.) Has the Congress resorted to ‘unconstitutional’ means to save the Rajasthan government?
(5.) Have all political parties been targeted in this tapping?
On Friday, Congress had alleged that the Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat is the mastermind behind the all crisis in Rajasthan and an attempt to topple Ashok Gehlot government.
It produced transcripts of a now-viral audio tape of discussions between a person, purported to be Shekhawat, and Congress MLA Bhanwar Lal Sharma, on how to topple the state government.
