‘Petitioner has no links with Cong’

AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh on Friday made it clear that R.C. Tripathi, the petitioner in the high court and the Supreme Court seeking to defer the judgement on the Ayodhya title suit, has nothing to do with the party.

Mr Singh’s statement came amid allegations that the Congress may have a hand in the plea before the apex court for deferring the Ayodhya verdict.
The BJP leaders have been saying in private that Thursday’s directive by the Supreme Court to the Allahabad high court staying the pronouncement of the verdict by a week had taken the party by surprise and was “a little out of the ordinary”. Mr Singh , a former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, claimed that the BJP chief minister of the state Shivraj Singh Chauhan appears to be panicky over the Ayodhya issue as he feels that some elements in the state party are not happy with him.
He suggested that these elements could foment trouble. Replying to questions, Mr Singh said that it could not trust the BJP, RSS and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad on the Ayodhya issue saying, “they could do anything”. “Ï cannot trust BJP, RSS, VHP. In 1992, we made a mistake when we accepted their affidavit....I have come to know that they are making preparations and they could do anything”, he said.
