JAIPUR: The
Congress on Friday demanded that a case be lodged against BJP leader and Union minister
Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, accusing him of being involved in
horse trading
of
Rajasthan MLAs
.
The party also suspended rebel MLAs Bhanwarlal Sharma and Vishvendra Singh from the party for allegedly being involved in the conspiracy to topple the government.
AICC spokesperson
Randeep Surjewala
said that two audio recordings have surfaced in which the MLA Sharma, Union minister Shekhawat and a BJP leader
Sanjay Jain
are purportedly talking about the "conspiracy" to topple the government.
He demanded an FIR against the three and their arrest.
Surjewala said chief whip
Mahesh Joshi
has given a complaint to the Special Operation Group for registration of FIR in the matter.
Sharma has, however, denied the allegations. When the audio tapes surfaced on Thursday, he had termed them as fake and said the voice in it was not his.
