How the money changed hands!
Singh is King & The Kingmaker (Sentinel)
NEW DELHI, July 22: The three BJP MPs who surprised everybody by tabling Rs 1
crore in the Lok Sabha today named SP MP Reoti Raman Singh and SP general
secretary Amar Singh for striking a deal with them and giving them the cash.“We
were contacted on Monday and told the deal would be struck in Le Meridian hotel
here but that could not take place. Later, SP MP Reoti Raman Singh came to meet
us at 12:30 am at 4, Ferozshah Road and said please come with me to Amar
Singh’s house where the deal would be finalized,” Fagan Singh Kulaste told
reporters.Kulaste, along with Mahavir Bhagore and Ashok Argal, emptied a bag
with Rs 1 crore in cash in the Lok Sabha today and claimed this money was given
as advance to them to abstain from voting. The house on Ferozshah Road is
occupied by Argal.“In the morning today, Ahmed Patel (Congress) discussed the
deal with us. Thereafter, we went with Reoti Raman Singh to Amar Singh’s house
where he offered us Rs 3 crore
— Rs 1 crore each as advance — there and then. But, we refused to take the
money and said it should be delivered at 4, Ferozshah Road,” Kulaste
said.“About twenty minutes later a man came to the residence with two bags full
of cash and put it on the table. I asked him to open the bags to show whether
the cash was real or fake. Then he took out Rs 1 crore in cash,” said Mahavir
Bhagora, another BJP MP who had displayed the wads in the House.“A man
telephoned Amar Singh who told me this money is an advance for the deal,” Argal
said. PTI source: sentinel assam
