New Delhi, July 18

The Congress on Saturday said the BJP has been caught murdering democracy in Rajasthan and their only grievance is why were they caught committing the murder.

Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said the BJP’s demands for a probe into the source of audio tapes, which allegedly show Congress MLAs and a union minister discuss horse trading, show their acknowledgment of guilt.

“BJP’s only grievance is that when they were murdering democracy, why were they getting recorded and if they were getting recorded, was it legal. It is like a murderer claiming that the witness who saw him committing the murder and who informed the police, violated the privacy of the murderer by peeping into his room, when he was committing the crime.

The shamelessness of this admission is also very shocking. They are not worried about the fact that they got caught red handed, they are worried about the fact that why did they get caught, was exposing their crime, legal ?” said Khera.

He also attacked the BJP of blocking an important probe into the allegations of BJP’s involvement in topping the congress government in Rajasthan.

“When the Rajasthan SOG proceeded to Manesar last night to collect the voice samples of the Ministers and of the MLAs who were involved in these so called audio tapes for the first time in history, the police of another state actively blocked the SOG team from collecting the voice samples and quietly, surreptitiously ensured that all the MLAs escape from the back door of the hotel,” said Khera.

He said the BJP openly misused its official machinery in CM Manohar Lal Khattar led Haryana to throttle an investigation, an on ongoing investigation.

“What is the reason that Sachin Pilot trusts the Haryana Police more than the Rajasthan Police, we want to know,” said Khera.
