Rise of Hazare, Ramdev a failure of political parties: BJP
BJP vice-president Shanta Kumar on Friday said social activist Anna Hazare and yoga guru Baba Ramdev had to come forward on corruption and black money because political parties had failed on the two issues.
“I admit that this is a failure of political parties in tackling these two issues,” the senior BJP leader said.
When asked whether the main opposition BJP too failed in raising these issues effectively, he said that his party had raised it vociferously.
But if something more was needed to be done, the party would do some introspection about it, he said, adding that tackling these issues was actually the job of political parties.
The black money stashed abroad was the “biggest loot in the history of the world”, he said.
Kumar alleged that the government did not take enough steps at the global level for bringing back the black money.
