Narendra Patel, a close aide of Hardik Patel, on Tuesday filed application in Gandhinagar Court seeking a court monitored probe in alleged Rs 1 Crore bribery case.
Earlier on Sunday, Narendra Patel, who belongs to the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) led by Hardik Patel, had said that the BJP attempted "to purchase him for Rs 1 crore and Rs 10 lakh was paid in advance".
The claims were made by Narendra Patel only a few hours after prominent BJP leaders of Gujarat announced his joining the saffron party on Sunday evening.
Narendra Patel in the press conference called Sunday late claimed that he was 'made to say' that he was joining the party after being offered Rs 1 crore.
A few hours after Narendra was inducted into the BJP, he convened a press conference late on Sunday night displaying bundle of cash, summing up to Rs 10 lakh, which he claimed was the first instalment of a crore used to bait him into joining the BJP.
"Varun Patel offered the Rs 1 crore deal on behalf of BJP. He gave me Rs 10 lakh in advance. He told me that they will give me Rs 90 lakh rupees tomorrow," added Narendra Patel.
He further said, "If they give me the entire Reserve Bank of India they will not be able to buy me."
He also displayed bundles of Rs 500 notes that he claimed were given to him as part of the deal.
