New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) on Monday issued notice to its three MPs - Lalu Bhai Patel, Ravindra Kumar Pandey and Hari Manjhi over the Cobrapost sting operation.
Investigative website Cobrapost last week exposed a bunch of parliamentarians who were willing to not only write recommendation letters but also lobby with the Union Ministry of Petroleum for a foreign company to help it secure oil exploration and rigging rights in the Northeast.
The investigation, panning over a year, exposed 11 MPs from within the Congress, BJP, BSP, JDU and AIADMK willing to issue letters of recommendation to promote a fictitious Australian oil exploration company in exchange for fees ranging between Rs 50,000 to Rs 50 lakh. Six of these MPs even wrote the letters for a fee
