Another volley from BJP after Home minister P Chidambaram's press conference.

The BJP today criticised Chidambaram for alleging that the RSS was behind Ramdev's agitation and announced a three-day anti-corruption campaign starting tomorrow.

"Anybody who speaks against corruption is linked to BJP or RSS by him (Chidambaram). Even if somebody in his office talks about corruption, then he will smell RSS and BJP there also," BJP spokesman Shahnawaz Hussain said.

He said Chidambaram was not giving "measured comments" since his name has allgedly cropped up in the 2G spectrum scam.

Asked about party chief Nitin Gadkari's comment to a TV channel that he has evidence against Chidambaram for his alleged involvement in 2G spectrum scam, Hussain said "Gadkari has raised the issue..We will take it forward."
