Lucknow, July 2 (IANS) TheBJP on Saturday demanded a probe into the allegations levelled by former Bahujan Samaj Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya of party supremo Mayawati of siphoning off huge amounts of ill-gotten money into 'benaami' companies.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesman Harish Chandra Srivastava told reporters here that the allegations levelled very very serious in nature and should be probed by agencies concerned.
"Swami Prasad Maurya till not long ago was a close confidante of Mayawati and hence should be taken into all seriousness," he added.
