A press conference organised by Congress for Opposition parties' Presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha in Bhopal on Thursday was dominated by allegations that legislators are being bribed to vote in favour of National Democratic Alliance candidate Droupadi Murmu.
While Mr. Sinha accused the BJP of offering a "huge sum of money to non-BJP MLAs” to vote against him, Congress State president and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath said the BJP had approached a Congress MLA with an offer of ₹1 crore.
