New Delhi: A Congress MPs has said the Anna incident may have been "deliberately" badly managed to damage Prime Minister Manmohan Singh image or to prevent Rahul Gandhi from taking the country's top post.
In a letter to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Praveen Singh Aron said the issue was dealt with "inappropriately" and sought a "thorough inquiry" within the party to ascertain
whether it was done deliberately or was a mistake. Mr Aron has said that in the absence of Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, "the persons responsible to decide
matters could not see the widespread public support and socio-political aspects" of Hazare's movement".
In the letter written at the height of the crisis triggered by Mr Hazare's decision to go on hunger strike and his arrest, Mr Aron wrote "in my personal view, the entire issue has
been handled inappropriately to the extent that a matter, which had obvious political overtones and implications, was dealt with in a purely technical manner."
He said the mishandling could have been a "deliberate attempt" to prevent Rahul Gandhi from becoming the Prime Minister or "damage our visionary and unquestionably honest
Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh)". The issue was handled with a "technico-legal approach and not political far-sightedness", the Lok Sabha member from Bareilly said in his letter, apparently hinting at Home Minister P Chidambaram and HRD Minister Kapil Sibal.
Mr Aron told PTI that whatever he has to say, he would do it in party forum but "obviously, there seems to be an attempt to prevent Rahul Gandhi from becoming the
Prime Minister."
