BJP SOUGHT CBI PROBE INTO THE MATTER
Rajasthan crisis: BJP asks if phones were tapped, after audio clips of
MLAs, Union minister surface

The Congress alleged that while the BJP tried to destroy
democracy in Rajasthan, it was only bothered about why its actions were being
recorded.
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday
demanded to know whether the Congress government in Rajasthan had indulged in
phone-tapping, after audio clips surfaced of two MLAs of the ruling party
allegedly talking to a Union minister, ANI reported. The party said it wants a
Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry into the matter, to ascertain whether
there was phone tapping.
The Congress had used the clips to
claim that horse-trading had been taking place, with the BJP colluding with the
dissident Sachin Pilot faction in the Rajasthan Congress.
“The state government should answer whether
they indulged in phone tapping, as the Chief Minister [Ashok Gehlot] and other
leaders are saying that the audio is authentic, whereas in the first
information report it is mentioned as ‘purported’,” BJP spokesperson Sambit
Patra said. “Is there an emergency situation in Rajasthan? Are all political
parties being targeted this way?”
The Congress hit back, calling for an independent
investigation into the BJP’s “nefarious activities” in
Rajasthan. “Who is providing all this black money and where did it come from?”
the party asked in a tweet.
Congress Spokesperson Pawan Khera
alleged that while the BJP was trying to destroy democracy in Rajasthan, it was
only bothered about why its actions were being recorded while it was doing so.
On Friday, the Congress suspended
dissident MLAs Bhanwar Lal Sharma and Vishvendra Singh for
allegedly plotting with the BJP to overthrow the government in Rajasthan,
accusing them of talking to Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. The
Congress also demanded a warrant against Shekhawat. Shekhawat however rejected the
allegations and said he is willing to be investigated.
The dissident legislators filed a
petition in the Rajasthan High Court, which on Friday directed
the Speaker not to take any action against them till July 21.
A Special Operations Group of the Rajasthan
Police was sent to Manesar in Gurugram on Friday, to seek out the MLAs who are
holed up in a hotel. Particularly, the team wanted to question Bhanwar Lal
Sharma. But they were stopped and detained at the entrance for nearly an hour
before being allowed to go in. The Congress cited this as evidence of a BJP
conspiracy to destabilise the Gehlot-led government in Rajasthan.
