PM, Sonia Must Apologize For Arrests In Cash-For-Vote, Says Gadkari

Bhopal, Nov 18: BJP president Nitin Gadkari today said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi should apologise to the nation for the “political conspiracy” under which BJP whistle-blowers were jailed in the cash-for-vote scam.

Addressing a press conference here, Gadkari, who is on a day’s visit to the city, alleged the Congress had purchased 19 MPs to save UPA-1 during the trust vote in July 2008.

Gadkari said though Singh enjoyed the image of being a clean person, it was impossible that people could be sent to prison without his knowledge or consent.

The BJP president said he had known Sudheendra Kulkarni, former aide of LK Advani, for the last 30 years and it was improbable that a man like him could be involved in any wrong doing.
