Congress Corruption Or BJP's Operation Lotus In Jharkhand?
Has Operation Kamal, the alleged BJP strategy to bribe legislators to take over states where they are not in power, now been extended to Jharkhand? It depends on who you ask. The Congress today said that there was clear cut evidence that the BJP was willing to pay off their leaders and that 3 of their own MLAs were conduits to make this happen. These 3 MLAs, who have now been suspended, have been arrested in Bengal where the CID has launched an investigation after 'huge amounts' of money was found in their vehicle. Another Congress MLA in Jharkhand, Anup Singh, has released a letter where he says that he too was approached. The BJP, for its part, says that the Congress MLAs who have been arrested in Bengal are corrupt and they have nothing to do with them. We on Left, Right and Centre ask, is this Congress Corruption or BJP's Op Lotus in Jharkhand?
