Congress displaying 'arrogance of power' : Mitra

Chandan Mitra

Kolkata, June 14 (PTI) : Lashing out at Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee for alleging that the BJP and RSS were behind the anti-graft movements of Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare, senior BJP leader Chandan Mitra today said Mukherjee and his Congress party were displaying 'arrogance of power'.

Mitra pointed out that it was the Congress which had invited Anna Hazare to the drafting committee of the proposed Lokpal Bill and now when a problem cropped up they were shifting responsibility on the RSS and BJP.

'Who went to the airport to dissuade Baba Ramdev from launching his fast-undo-death? When it did not pay off, they started putting the blame on us,' Mitra said.
