Prabhat Jha, editor of the BJP mouthpiece Kamal Sandesh, says the government should probe the source of India Against Corruption funds. Vicky Nanjappa reports
Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal has become a target of the Bharatiya Janata Party, especially after his expose against Nitin Gadakri where the former accused the BJP president of colluding with the ruling Nationalist Congress Party in Maharashtra for furthering his business interests at the cost of farmers.
Thereafter, the BJP has gone on the offensive.
Prabhat Jha, editor of the BJP mouthpiece
Kamal Sandesh, said on Wednesday that there was an urgent need to probe the source of funds behind Kejriwal's anti-corruption campaign. He also accused Kejriwal of shaking up the democratic set-up of the country. An editorial in the BJP publication too has voiced similar sentiments.
In a sharp criticism of Kejriwal, Jha told
rediff.com that the former Team Anna member would end up like a fused bulb in politics. "We have no doubt that he has foreign funding and the source needs to be traced in national interest. There
are vested interests funding him to break up democracy in India," the editor alleged.
