The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday alleged that the Parrikar government in Goa was dismissed at the behest of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

It also alleged that the BJP members of Legislative Assembly were paid to defect from the party.

"We have information that each MLA was given Rs four to five crore to change sides," BJP north zonal in charge Madan Lal Khurana alleged at a press conference in New Delhi.

Four BJP MLAs in Goa shifted allegiance to the Congress, thus reducing the Parrikar government to minority.

Delhi BJP chief Harsh Vardhan alleged that the government had been pulled down on the direction of Gandhi.
