Jind: Senior Congress leader Chaudhary Birender Singh has triggered a political controversy with his claim that a Rajya Sabha seat could be bought as he quoted a figure of Rs 100 crore citing a specific example. While the BJP latched on to his remarks and accused the Congress of "selling tickets", Singh said he has been quoted "totally out of the context."<br /><br />"Once someone told me that he had a budget of Rs 100 crore to become a Rajya Sabha MP. But when he totalled the expenditure later, he found it was Rs 80 crore and he had ended up saving Rs 20 crore. Now you think, a man who succeeds taking the membership of Rajya Sabha by spending Rs 80 crore or Rs 100 crore, what will they think about the poor," he reportedly told a function at Narwana in Jind. <br /><br />For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/<br />Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonline<br />Subscribe to our YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/newsxlive
