Alleging a "financial deal" behind inclusion of former BSP minister Babu Singh Kushwaha in BJP, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Jan Kranti Party patron Kalyan Singh today demanded a CBI probe into the matter.

"Joining of Kushwaha against whom there are serious allegations of corruption, which are being probed by CBI in BJP raises suspicion. It seems that there was a finacial deal of crores for his inclusion in the BJP...this should be probed by CBI", Singh told reporters.

He said on one hand senior BJP leaders were taking out yatras on the issue of corruption and on the other they were taking corrupt people in the party showing their double talk.

"BJP has proved that it was the most corrupt and it could not face the public on the issue", he said adding that BJP would only get 40-45 seats in the polls.

Commenting on BJP spokesman Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi's statement that BJP was like river Ganga, which make even nullah joining it as pious, Singh said he had proved that bad people had joined BJP.

Kalyan also released list of 61 candidates and said that his party has so far declared 212 candidates.

On the occasion BJP leader and former MLA Keshav Mehra joined Jan Kranti Party protesting Kushwaha's entry in the party.

Asserting that the BJP would have to bear the brunt of including tainted BSP leader Babu Singh Kushwaha in the coming assembly elections, Singh termed as unfortunate senior leader LK Advani's silence on such an important issue.

Suggesting that there could be an internal deal between the BSP and BJP, he said that the saffron party could take help of Mayawati once the results are announced and asked the people to realise that if they are voting for the BJP their vote is in fact going to Mayawati.

Giving examples of cash for question scam accused Chatrapal Singh and Sakshi Maharaj being given BJP tickets from Anoopshahr and Bhogaon seats respectively, Kalyan Singh asked Murli Manohar Joshi who has expressed unhappiness over Kushwaha's induction to come out and tell the party to choose between him and the expelled BSP leader.

Singh also announced that four leaders of the BJP besides Keshav Mehra have joined his party and have been given Jankranti Party tickets in the coming polls.
