DEHRADUN/NEW DELHI: Ahead of the May 10 trust vote in Uttarakhand, a new purported sting video targeting deposed Chief Minister Harish Rawat emerged today, prompting BJP to accuse him of trying to “buy” legislators.
As the political fight over the Uttarakhand crisis escalated, Rawat accused the NDA Government and the BJP of indulging in “politics of blackmail” and creating “unrest” in the hill state. He also alleged that the Congress MLAs were being threatened and their phones tapped by central agencies.
A purported sting video targeting Rawat which allegedly showed a conversation between rebel Congress MLA Harak Singh Rawat and Congress legislator Madan Singh Bisht was released today by a private news channel in Delhi.
Bisht is purported to have said in the video that Harish Rawat was giving the money he had earned from mining to his MLAs to keep his flock together.
BJP leader Bhagat Singh Koshyari alleged that the video showed that Harish Rawat was “himself involved in horse-trading”. (AGENCIES)
