Raipur: A row erupted on Wednesday after an audio tape containing telephonic talks purportedly between Chhattisgarh CM Raman Singh’s son-in-law, Congress leader Ajit Jogi and his son Amit surfaced, alleging their involvement in “fixing” the bypoll to an assembly seat last year.
Congress candidate for Antagarh seat Manturam Pawar, then considered an Ajit Jogi loyalist, had withdrawn from the fray just a day ahead of the deadline. The tape purportedly contains conversations suggesting money exchanged hands.
The tape has conversations be-tween Amit Raman Singh’s son-in-law Puneet Gupta, Pawar and former Jogi loyalists Firoz Siddiqui and Ameen Memon.
