CONGRESS leader Digvijay Singh fired a fresh salvo against Team Anna asking why the Gandhian leader was not attacking the BJP.
Singh also cautioned him against what he described as ‘lofty promises’ by the BJP of making him a Presidential candidate.
“You have never raised your voice against the BJP,” Singh, said and asked why he was ‘silent’ on the issue of corruption when the BJP-led NDA was in power.
In a four-page open letter written just two days before the Hisar byelections, Singh said: “What is being seen now is that you have been strongly opposing the Congress and as against this you have been praising BJP’s Narendra Modi despite the fact that there is no Lok Ayukta in Gujarat for the past nine years.”
In the letter, Singh also reiterated his earlier claim that the BJP had offered to make Anna Hazare the Presidential candidate.
“The talk is that the BJP wants to make you a candidate in the Presidential election next year. You become a candidate, but beware of the lofty promises of the BJP, which is in the habit of leading people up the garden path,” he said.
The former Madhya Pradesh chief minister asked Hazare if he knew with whom he and his associates will be aligning by the call to vote against the Congress.
“Are you not aware of the history of the family of late Bhajan Lal? Are you not acquainted with the history of the Chautala family? Are you oblivious of the fact that there were cases of corruption pending against them in courts,” he asked.
“Be it Shanti Bhushan or his son Prashant or your colleague Arvind Kejriwal. All these people have been opposed to the Congress. These people are taking benefit of your clean character for their own political gains,” he said attacking Team Anna members.
