Bhopal, Mar 19: There is no progress in the bribery offer issue that created a ruckus in the House on Wednesday and outside the Assembly. The Bharatiya Janata Party State president Narendra Singh Tomar on Wednesday declined to conduct CBI probe into the matter.

He said, "State police and it's investigating agencies are capable to solve the issue". "But it's the handy-work of Congress party who believes in the politics of horse-trading which had come into light during the regime of the then Prime Minister Narasimha Rao".

However, the party announced to launch statewide campaign against Leader of the Opposition Jamuna Devi, he added. On the other hand, Congress drubbed the charges saying that bribery offer issue is a political conspiracy hatched by the BJP.

"I'm not at all involved in the bribery offer game. I'm ready to undergo and investigations in the entire episode. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is tarnishing image of Congress party and mine".
