Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh on Friday alleged that there was a tacit understanding between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh.
"The two parties always had a tacit understanding in Uttar Pradesh," he told media persons in Bhopal when asked his views on the BJP and BSP describing party general secretary Rahul Gandhi's 'padayatra' in UP as a political drama.
On the arrest of a man carrying pistol who was trying to move close to Rahul during his padayatra, Singh said the Special Protection Group was looking into the matter.
Reacting to religious leader Asaram Bapu's alleged remark that Congress president Sonia Gandhi should be asked to leave India, he said he would not remain quiet if such statements continued.
The senior leader also demanded an inquiry into the alleged blackmoney amassed by Madhya Pradesh Ministers.
Crores of rupees are found in raids at the residences of government officers which indicates the level of corruption in the state, he added.
Singh said though the BJP talked of looking after the interests of Muslims, its government in Madhya Pradesh was not keen on implementing the Sachar Committee recommendations.
"If the BJP is serious about Muslims, it should implement the Sachar Committee report," he said.
