Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today
alleged that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was responsible for the police
action on Baba Ramdev and his followers at the Ramlila ground in New Delhi.
Condemning the incident as the worst day
in the history of India, Modi lambasted the Congress-led UPA government for
being behind the lathi-charge on innocent people.
"I would like to tell Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh that you cannot escape by saying that you did not know. You
are directly responsible for what has happened at the Ramlila ground in Delhi,"
Modi said while inaugurating a new dental college in Khokhara area here.
"The PM had said during the elections
that he would bring back black money stashed in Swiss banks within 100 days
of coming into power. But today it is two years and nothing has happened,"
Modi said
"Congress will have to answer 120 crore
people of India about the use of violence on innocent people," he said.
