Union sports minister Uma Bharti admitted that former BJP chief Banagru Laxman had committed a mistake by taking money from a decoy dealer for Party fund in a manner which tarnished our image. “He has committed that mistake”, Bharti told a private news channel adding Laxman should have upheld traditions established by L K Advani in running the party affairs during his stint as BJP president. The BJP leader admitted that tehelka revelations had tarnished party's image but exuded confidence it would emerge out of this temporary crisis much stronger. Bharti, however, rejected the contention that tehelka tapes formed prima facie evidence of bribery and said the portal's credibility was questionable given its similar tapes on cricket. Bureau Report
