Piggybacking on an expose

Business Standard New Delhi
In Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has unexpectedly proven to be as media- and technology-savvy as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and it is the Congress party that is riding on the back of the infant party's recent sting operation. It has decided to express its support to the AAP video that shows BJP leader Sher Singh Dagar offering money to an AAP legislator to strengthen its claims of horse-trading by the saffron party to form a government in Delhi. In fact, the Congress is using the expose to claim that the BJP had used similar monetary inducements to buy out its partymen in other states. Party spokesperson Sandeep Dikshit said as much, "Not just here, BJP is doing this across India. A large number of our party leaders moved away just before elections. In some cases like in Madhya Pradesh, our candidates switched over to BJP." The Congress must be ruing the fact that AAP managed to catch the alleged poaching on camera, while it couldn't.
