Stepping up its attack against anti-graft activist Arvind Kejrival, Congress on Sunday charged him with trying to 'gain cheap popularity' by levelling charges against Salman Khurshid in connection with an organisation being run by his family.
'This is cheap popularity. He does not know what is democracy, parliamentary procedures. He wants popularity and is using the media for this,' Congress leader and Minister of state in the PMO, V Narayansamy said.
Defending Khurshid, he said there were no irregularities and maintained it was a private transaction where there was 'no proof to show government support.'
'Kejrival is maligining people. He will feel the heat and learn a lesson,' the Minister said adding a 100 slogan-shouting persons cannot 'decide the fate of the country.'
He charged Kejrival with furnishing 'bogus account,' regarding the money collected for social activist Anna Hazare's fast in Delhi demanding Lokpal.
Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde Sunday blamed Kejriwal for playing politics in the name of his campaign against corruption in public life. 'Kejriwal first aligned with Anna Hazare in the name of a campaign against corruption. After PM Manmohan Singh fulfilled all the demands for strengthening the anti-corruption mechanism in the country, he had nothing else to do,' Shinde said here. 'Now he has formed a political party and is playing politics,' Shinde added.
