New Delhi : As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tuesday gave notice for a breach of privilege motion against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in connection with the 2008 bribe-for-votes scam, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal said the allegation was false.
“Whatever the BJP is saying is inaccurate and there is not an iota of truth,” Bansal told reporters here.
The opposition party said the prime minister misled the house by his remarks that the panel which probed the bribe-for-votes scam in 2008 had found insufficient evidence to draw any conclusions.
The BJP said the prime minister had told parliament last week that no bribe was paid while the Kishore Chandra Deo Committee that looked into the issue had stated that bribe was paid.
