Jammu, Dec 2: In what looks like tough and serious stand taken by Central leadership over the issue of illegal cash transaction recently between two BJP leaders of the state, the duo are learnt to have been 'identified' and the names may be exposed soon. A day after two senior ministers were called by the Central leadership on Thursday, state President Sat Sharma and General Secretary Ashok Koul have been summoned again. Both the leaders left for New Delhi today.
Sources said even as the state unit of BJP tried to downplay the recent incident of cash transaction allegedly between two BJP leaders in an illegal manner post demonetization move, the Central leadership has taken the matter very seriously which is why it is summoning the ministers and senior functionaries recurrently. During the last 10 days both state President and General Secretary have been called twice over the matter and this is the third visit in a row, sources said while confirming the two senior functionaries having left for Delhi today in connection with the same development.
