New Delhi, Sep 6: The arrest of Amar Singh today brought BJP and other opposition parties together to target the UPA government and demand a deeper probe into its role in the cash-for-vote scam in 2008, alleging it was the “real beneficiary”.
The Opposition also demanded that the source of money allegedly used to buy votes of MPs should be traced to provide clinching evidence in the case and asked at whose behest was the former Samajwadi leader acting. Samajwadi party said Singh has been made a “scapegoat” by Delhi Police.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal rejected allegations UPA-1 Government was the beneficiary saying it did not need votes of three BJP MPs who claimed to have been bribed. He made it clear there was no need for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to make a statement on the issue.
