NEW DELHI: The BJP, which is alleging Samajwadi Party's hand in the 'cash-for-vote' scandal, today presented some "facts" to the parliamentary inquiry committee, claiming that it will "conclusively establish the veracity of their complaints".
"These facts will conclusively establish beyond reasonable doubt the veracity of what we had complained," the two 'whistle-blower' MPs, Ashok Argal and Faggan Singh Kulaste said in a 17-page letter, along with annexures of conversation transcripts and phone details.
"In the absence of the channel having performed its public duty, we along with our colleagues, have continued to pursue this matter and have several facts to place before you and the inquiry committee," the letter added.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party leaders Amar Singh and Reoti Raman Singh have denied the allegations and said they were ready to face any inquiry.
Releasing the letter to the media today, party general secretary Arun Jaitley claimed, "These are direct evidences which can be corroborated by the statements of the MPs and members of the CNN-IBN team (the independent channel which conducted the cash-for-vote sting operation)."
"The transcript of the video where Sanjeev Saxena (an alleged aide of Amar Singh) and another person reach the Ferozshah Road residence of one of the MPs and gives the money has been given to the head of the parliamentary committee," Jaitley said.
The BJP leader also gave details of the phone conversation from Saxena's mobile between the three MPs and Amar Singh.
