Accused by BJP of taking bribes, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh arrived in Delhi today to present his version to the Congress high command while slamming the opposition party of indulging in "malicious propaganda" against him and his family.

Singh is understood to have been called to Delhi by the high command in the wake of the allegations by BJP Leader Arun Jaitley that he had taken a "bribe" from a private company for extension of a project.

He is expected to meet Congress President Sonia Gandhi and possibly Rahul Gandhi to explain his position in the matter at a time when Congress is seeking to take a high moral ground on the issue of corruption prodded by party vice-president.

The Chief Minister's wife Prathiba Singh, who has also been accused, visited the AICC headquaters and met senior party leaders.

Singh insisted that he had taken no bribe and issued an eight-page statement seeking to rebut Jaitley's charges point by point. "Frustrated BJP leaders are fabricating false stories and twisting and tampering facts to suit their convinence. They have been waging the same old issues pertaining to my income tax return and loan taken by my family, which have been replied and clarified time and again and there is nothing material or new in them" Singh said.
