New Delhi, March 23: HRD Minister Kapil Sibal today sought to turn tables on the BJP on the cash-for-vote scam in the Lok Sabha by saying a senior leader from the opposition party had charged L K Advani with being at the “centre” of the entire “drama”.
Intervening in the debate, Sibal recalled an interview by senior BJP leader Jaswant Singh to a news magazine in 2009 in which he had blamed BJP Parliamentary Party Chairman L K Advani for being behind the cash-for-vote scam.
The Union Minister quoted from the interview in which Singh had claimed: “Here was a man who was consumed by an ambition to be Prime Minister…Advaniji was at the centre of this whole drama…”
Sibal said while BJP was targetting the UPA government on WikiLeaks, “your people are accusing your own party.
