Clear link between Team Anna and RSS-BJP: Digvijay

Questions deposition of money meant for IAC in another NGO's account

PTI | October 24, 2011



Congress leader Dijvijay Singh on Monday alleged that BJP coming to the defence of Arvind Kejriwal in the controversy surrounding the transfer of money to his NGO was proof enough of the alliance between Team Anna and RSS-BJP.

"I am very happy that BJP has categorically supported Kejriwal. It has vindicated once again what I have been saying that the whole campaign of Anna Hazare and Ramdev has been conceived, planned and executed by RSS and the BJP," Singh told reporters in the national capital.

"I have been saying since the very begninning that there is an alliance and the entire game is being played as part of the alliance. Whatever I had been saying has been proved correct," he said.

Singh also wondered why the money which was meant for India Against Corruption was transferred to Kejriwal's trust.

"For what reason money taken for India Against Corruption if is deposited in the bank account of another NGO. Kejriwalji talks about transparency and RTI. So, now he has to answer this," Singh said.

The Congress leader also attacked another Team Anna member Kiran Bedi and pointed out that she now wants to return the additional money she had taken from other NGOs through inflated Bills.

"This means if the corrupt people return money, they will also be absolved of their crime. Then why has A Raja been kept in jail. Raja also returns money and comes out?" he contended.
