As a shell-shocked country witnessed BJP MPs showing wads of currency notes they allege were given as bribe for abstaining during confidence motion, Samajwadi Party on Tuesday said the allegation was a conspiracy by the saffron party to topple the UPA government.

Reacting to allegations that a SP leader offered Rs three crore each to three BJP MPs, party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav claimed it was a conspiracy by BJP and its leaders to defame his party and topple the government.

He claimed the amount of Rs one crore cannot be stuffed in such a small bag shown by the three BJP Lok Sabha members in Lok Sabha.

Yadav demanded immediate arrest of BJP MP Ashok Agarwal who made the allegation and an inquiry into his allegations.

He also said the fingerprints in the bags should be examined to bring the acutal person who delivered money to book.

"BJP members can go to any extent and the way they have come forward shows this. I know the nefarious designs of BJP. They have even tried to kill me. Then I escaped and thanked the God," Yadav told reporters in New Delhi.

"I have many secrets of BJP. Don't ask me to bare them", he said. The SP chief said BJP by its "smear" campaign of bribing has "defamed" the Lok Sabha. "They have brought disrespect to the biggest democracy of the world", he said.

"BJP want to revert their defeat in the Confidence motion in Parliament and conspiring against us.

"We will ourselves probe this issue. A team of 56 members of Samajwadi party will carry out the investigation the matter only after that the truth will come out," Mulayam Singh said.

Singh also requested the Lok Sabha Speaker to "duly listen to our MPs" to go into the depth of the matter.
