Hyderabad: Bangaru Laxman, who went to jail because of a Tehelka expose 'Operation West End', is happy over Tarun Tejpal being probed in a rape case. Laxman had to step down as the president of the BJP after the expose and was convicted by a court in 2012.
He is now out on bail and being treated for health problems at a Hyderabad hospital. The Dalit leader was stung by the Tehelka in a defence deal in 2000-2001. He was seen taking Rs 1 lakh bribe in a video released by the Tehelka. He was the national president of BJP and before that a minister of state for Railways in the NDA government.
According to local media in Hyderabad, after hearing about Tejpal's plight, Laxman said, "both Tejpal and Asaram should be kept in the same jail and Tejpal should not be given any extra privileges. He has always been a menace. I am glad, he has been exposed finally. He even used call girls to sting others. He has no right to talk about ethics. Hope, he will spend a long time in a jail."
