Watch LIVE! Cash-for-votes drama in Lok Sabha

Last updated on: March 22, 2011 11:09 IST

Sparks are expected to fly on Tuesday in Parliament as the Opposition moved in to grill the United Progressive Alliance government over the WikiLeaks expose on the cash-for-votes controversy.

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday moved a privilege motion against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh alleging that he had 'misled' Parliament by claiming that the panel on the July 2008 cash-for-vote controversy had found no evidence of bribery.

The WikiLeaks diplomatic cables published by The Hindu newspaper on Thursday quoted a political aide of Congress leader Satish Sharma as saying that a fund of Rs 50 crore had been formed to pay MPs for the confidence vote in 2008.
