BJP MLA backs RK Singh's charge of party selling tickets to criminals
Outgoing BJP MLA Vikram Kunwaron Sunday backed party MP R K Singh's sensational claim that the Bharatiya Janata Party was "selling" tickets to criminals and alleged that he, too, was denied ticket from Raghunathpur Assembly seat as it was "sold" to a turncoat.
Hang me if I have committed anything wrong or failed in duties, but do give a reason for denying ticket to me," Kumar implored the BJP leadership.
Another BJP leader and former minister Chandramohan Rai also accused the party of "selling" tickets to criminals and said he was corroborating his charge on the basis of ticket given to the jailed JD(U) leader Sunil Pandey's wife Gita Pandey from Tarari Assembly seat in Bhojpur district by the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), a constituent of the NDA.
In potentially damaging remarks for BJP ahead of the high-stakes Bihar polls, its MP R K Singh had on Saturday alleged that party tickets were sold to criminals, a charge dismissed as "baseless" by the party but termed "exceptionally grave" by rivals.
Meanwhile, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar lapped up the BJP MP's denunciation of his own party by saying that there must be some truth in the allegation since it came from Singh.
