BSP’s former zonal coordinator Jugal Kishore on Sunday accused party supremo Mayawati of selling party tickets for Assembly and Parliamentary seats in return for money. “I was sidelined only when I objected this practice to the BSP supremo and urged her to put a full stop on it,” Kishore said.
Kishore, who was removed from the top party post of zonal coordinator on Saturday, demanded a CBI inquiry into his allegations and said many of the legislatures would expose the seat-trading if a fair probe was conducted.
“Even I was asked to pay Rs50 lakh for the party ticket for my son Saurabh Singh from Kasta Assembly seat. “I raised a voice and was silenced immediately by being sidelined in the party, which I founded in 1984 along with Dalit messiah late Kanshi Ram,” he alleged.
