Patna: Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam on Saturday
accused BJP senior leaders L K Advani and Arun Jaitley of
being conspirators in the cash-for-vote scam and their names
would definitely come out in the open.
Investigation into the case was on in right earnest and
Advani's and Jaitley's names would 'come out in the case in
any stage', Nirupam, AICC secretary, told reporters here.
''Whosoever he may be involved in the case would be
brought to justice,'' he said adding ''BJP has committed a sin
and it should accept it.''
BJP had alleged that Ahmed Patel, political advisor of
Congress president Sonia Gandhi was the mastermind of the
scam and Advani during his ongoing 'Jan Chetna Yatra' had
raised the issue and described it as the 'dirtiest scandal' of
the country.
In reply to a question on Congress' plan to make AICC
general secretary Rahul Gandhi its working president, he said
''Rahul is ready to take up the responsibility ... He has
emerged as a vital and powerful centre of attraction in
politics and among the people.
''Party workers will lend full support,'' he added.
