BJP leader Kirit Somaiya had handed over the money raised from people for saving the decommissioned naval aircraft carrier Vikrant to his party, Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole said on Tuesday citing Somaiya`s lawyer and demanded that BJP be made a co-accused for misappropriation.

"There are news reports about Somaiya`s lawyer telling a court that he had handed over the money raised in the name of saving INS Vikrant to BJP. This is a betrayal of the people who were told that the money would be given to Raj Bhavan," Patole said in a statement.
