Lucknow, Jan 8 (IANS): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday lashed out at the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Samajwadi Party (SP) for accusing it of allegedly hounding them through the CBI.
BJP spokesman Harish Chandra Srivastava said: "Birds of the same feather are flocking together and their allegations are hollow.
"The corrupt are ganging up now, trying to protect each other by crying foul. But this will not cut ice any longer," he said.
