Digvijay Singh had lashed out at Anna Hazare who had categorically denied that neither the BJP nor the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh had supported his hunger strike against corruption at New Delhi's Ramlila maidan. "The RSS chief has gone on record saying that they had lent support to Anna's movement. This goes on to prove that there was a nexus between the two. I have been told that BJP told Anna that the party would put him up as Presidential candidate with support from other opposition parties," he told reporters at the Congress headquarters on Sunday.
Hazare's close aide Prashant Bhushan told rediff.com that Digvijay Singh was in the habit of making such statements and hence no one should take them seriously.
He supported Arvind Kejriwal's statement that Hazare was above the Parliament. "You should see the background under which Kejriwal said this. The preamble to the Constitution very clearly says that the people of India are supreme. Whether it is Anna Hazare or any other citizen of India," he explained.
