Shimla, Jul 22: Digvijay Singh, the indomitable Congress general secretary, has branded Team Anna member Arivind Kejriwal a BJP agent because he failed to criticise Narendra Modi government of Gujarat.
"Kejriwal is working like a BJP's agent. He has never criticised the (Narendra) Modi government for not having the Lokayukta in Gujarat. He even did not criticise the BJPgovernments in Karnataka and Chhattisgarh for corruption," Digvijaya Singh told reporters here
Dighvijay also took a dig at the BJP-led Himachal Pradeshgovernment for extending favours to yoga guru Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust by allotting it land in the state.
An angry Singh said Kejriwal's NGO should be banned as it has received huge funds from abroad.
Slamming the Himachal Pradesh government, the Congress leader, who was here to attend a convention of the All India Kashtriya Federation, said the state had favoured Baba Ramdev's aide Balkrishna by allotting him a huge chunk of prime land near Chail (in Solan district).
"He (Balkrishna) is a criminal. He has evaded Rs.40 crore income tax and Rs.22 crore sales tax. Notices have been served to him," he said.
"This (Himachal) government is doing business with Baba Ramdev by extending favours and the Congress party would expose its misdeeds," Singh added.
It has to be noted that the CBI arrested Balkrishna on Friday in a case regarding alleged fake documents submitted to get an Indian passport in his name.
Digvijay Singh welcomed the decision of Rahul Gandhi to play a bigger role in politicsand said: "Rahul deserves bigger role in the government."
Singh dismissed the registration of criminal cases against former union minister and ex-chief minister Virbhadra Singh saying it was an act of political vendetta.
