Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has accused the BJP of trying to poach the Congress MLAs in the state, alleging that some of them were offered Rs 25 crore each.
Gehlot’s statement came hours after the Congress charged the BJP with plans to destabilise the state government and took its MLAs to a Jaipur resort for a meeting ahead of the elections to three seats of the Rajya Sabha in the state on June 19. .
Gehlot said there were reports about the BJP’s plan similar to that of Madhya Pradesh and some of the party MLAs were offered Rs 25 crore in cash with Rs 10 crore in advance.
He also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the Rajya Sabha elections were postponed under pressure because the BJP could not poach MLAs in Rajasthan and Gujarat.
