Jaipur: Congress legislator Rajendra Gudha on Sunday claimed that arrested middleman Sanjay Jain had contacted him about eight months ago to ask him to meet former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and other BJP leaders.
"BJP's game plan was going on for a long time. Eight months ago, he had come to me asking to meet Vasundhara Raje and other BJP leaders. Their people and middlemen were active but they could not succeed in their attempts," Gudha told reporters here.
Jain's name had surfaced in one of the viral audio recordings in which he is heard talking about horse-trading of legislators to topple the Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan.
Special Operations Group of Rajasthan police has arrested Jain.
Congress said he had a connection with the BJP, a claim saffron party has denied.
Gudha claimed Jain had asked him to meet Raje in New Delhi and then in Jaipur.
