BJP throws petrol pump slick at Jogi

Jogi had also mentioned that his wife had no income which has been contested.

The allegations came as a complainant in the case of the petrol pump allocation, Nandkumar Sahay, submitted documents in a metropolitan court today. The court will decide on November 28 whether summons would be served on Jogi. The documents filed included a certification from MGM Medical College in Indore, saying Jogi’s wife had an income of Rs 85,946 in 1993-94 and Rs 95,170 in 1994-95. Sahay had filed the complaint in May.

Patel Nagar Rajori SDO Prakash Chandra deposed today and said Jogi had filed the affidavit in front of him.

Meanwhile, the Congress came out openly in his support and charged the CBI of ‘‘fabricating’’ evidence against him in the Judeo tape case. The party was referring to CBI reports yesterday that it had found e-mails from Jogi’s son, Amit, to a friend saying a ‘‘sting operation’’ had been carried out.

Amit has denied any role in the tape controversy. ‘‘I cannot speak for the establishment but personally, I have had no role to play in this,’’ he told reporters in Raipur today.

Charging the CBI of playing ‘‘politics’’, Congress chief spokesperson Jaipal Reddy said: ‘‘Why is the CBI playing politics? Why are they influencing poll trends now? And for whom?’’

‘‘We are aware that the CBI is capable of manufacturing evidence…The CBI should beware that e-mails can be engineered. No one will take the CBI seriously if it goes about its investigations in this manner,’’ he said.
