Tehelka Founder-Editor Tarun Tejpal has blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of behind the sexual assault allegations made by a woman journalist against him.
Tejpal has yet again defended himself in the case against him reverting to his 'drunken banter' version. In fact, in another shocking statement, he has pointed fingers at the Goa Police and the BJP government in the state for hatching a conspiracy against him in his bail application filed in the Delhi High Court.
Here is the full text of his bail plea:
The bias of BJP against the Petitioner is a well known fact and has earlier been nastily manifested in a manner in which Tehelka was targeted post its expose on corrupt defence deals in 2001 and was forced to shut down operations for over 3 years as well as many of its employees being implicated in false criminal cases.
The mannerism and the scale in which BJP has unleashed the wrath of its vengeance upon the Petitioner in garb of the present FIR is synonymous to the previous attempts of BJP to malign and target the Petitioner and the same is apparent by the statements issued by various party leaders including the present Chief Minister of Goa.'
