Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs V Narayanasamy today alleged that social activist Anna Hazare was functioning under instigation of BJP at a time when the Prime Minister was taking steps to curb corruption and the Lokpal bill is to be tabled in the coming parliament session.
"Anna Hazare is acting under instigation of BJP, as seen by Anna Hazare team meeting BJP leader LK Advani yesterday," he told reporters here.
He pointed out that the UPA government, as part of efforts to curb corruption had set up 54 special courts across the country and planned to establish 71 more as opposed to the situation when BJP-led NDA was in power "when nothing was done to combat corruption."
"One can now see corruption flourishing in BJP ruled states and hence BJP has no right to speak about corruption", he said
Referring to the increasing incidents of crimes against women in Uttar Pradesh, he said law and order in that state was "in shambles" and demanded that Chief Minister Mayawati spare no effort to ensure protection of women in her state.
