New Delhi, Jul 20: The 2008 cash-for-vote scam, which saw a sudden revival with the arrest of Sanjeev Saxena two days after the Supreme Court lambasted the Delhi police for its tardy investigations, got murkier with Suhail Hindustani, alleged to be a middleman in the controversy, claiming that he had received calls from sources 'close' to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

He also said that said that former Samajwadi leader Amar Singh was the 'main man'.

On Wednesday July 20, Suhail Hindustani, who was quizzed by the Delhi police crime branch said that he had nothing to hide and that former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh was the one who played a key role in the entire controversy.

Hindustani also pointed fingers at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, claiming that sources 'close' to the PM had called him, and at Ahmed Patel, political secretary to Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

Though he did not name the people who called him, he said the Congressmen had tried to lure him with promises of giving big posts chairmanship and paying Rs 5-10 crore as commission for each MP he could get.

Hindustani also said that Amar Singh had used Ahmed Patel to his advantage. He said both were in together and he had only helped them.

A narco test should be done on Amar Singh and on the PM too, he insisted.

In July 2008, BJP MPs Ashok Argal, Mahavir Bhagora and Faggan Singh Kulaste had created a scene in the Parliament just before the UPA-1 trust vote, claiming that they had been bribed to secure their votes. Bags filled with currency notes were shown in the Lok Sabha as proof of their claim.

    Javdekar-BJP spokesperson was addressing a Press-
    1. Minority govt. bought votes to surivive floor test!(BJP-itself initiated & approached Amar Singh to get bribed)!
    2.This is Taint of Democracy!
    3. Why the centre kept quiet till Supreme court intervened in Cash for vote?

    Point by point his Karnataka govt. was no better-  They too bought legislators when in minority.
    They too indulged in bribing independents as well as other party MLA's to maintain their majority.
    They illegally disqualified 17 MLA's to maintain their majority.  He forgot he was sitting in a glass house & shouldn't have thrown stones at others houses.  Politicians(majority) irrespective of their party are CORRUPT.  We people who are supporting them BLINDLY are FOOLS.

    Now, that the another PAPPU Suhail arrested after Saxena, Where are all their PAPPAS? Wasn't Ahmed Patel also involved with Hasan Ali in Black Money transactions and help him to go Under Ground before Media discovered him from Pune? Amar Singh is one of the PAPPU ke PAPPA on CASH for VOTES and hope his Kidney problem does not starts to avoid arrest. India wants all PAPPAS of this PAPPUS in TIHAR. Dalaals, Power Brokers, Middle Mans, Lobbyists etc...has made Indian Politics ?
