New Delhi : The Congress Wednesday urged the Election Commission to probe the cash-for-votes allegation against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Jaswant Singh, who was shown in a video footage distributing money during an election meeting in a Rajasthan village.
“It is a fit case for the Election Commission to look into, whether an attempt was made to influence voters,” Congress spokesperson Ashwini Kumar said.
Jaswant Singh was caught on camera Tuesday distributing money during an election rally in Gajaria village of Barmer, about 550 km from Rajasthan capital Jaipur.
In the video clip telecast by TV news channels, Jaswant Singh and BJP national vice-president Kailash Meghwal were shown giving money to a woman at the Gajaria poll rally.
Jaswant Singh’s son Manvendra Singh is contesting the Lok Sabha election from Barmer parliamentary constituency.
