Bhatt alleged “fake CDs” about Sanjay Joshi were sent to Mumbai from Gujarat during the national executive committee meeting of BJP, following which, Joshi had resigned from the post of BJP general secretary. “Why did the BJP central leadership keep quiet on finding out who was responsible for the distribution of this fake CD”? he said. Bhatt alleged that the BJP leadership was under the “influence” of Narendra Modi, “which is why it has not taken any action”. The BJP government has “failed” to arrest those responsible for the murder of former Gujarat Home minister Haren Pandya nine years ago, he said. PTI
