'The government should know that suppressed public anger can explode any time,' she said, adding that the UPA leaders were deliberately discrediting Ramdev and Hazare.
Uma Bharti, who recently made a comeback to BJP, today said the UPA government was deliberately 'discrediting' Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev for channelising growing discontent among common people against the UPA government.
"What Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare are doing is channelising peoples' discontent. But the UPA government is so insensitive that it used a massive force to stop Baba's peaceful agitation midnight and is now threatening to use same tactics against social activist Anna Hazare," said Uma Bharti after meeting RSS ideologue M G Vaidya here.
"The government should know that suppressed public anger can explode any time," she said, adding that the UPA leaders were deliberately discrediting Ramdev and Hazare.
"In a calculated method, the two mass leaders are being made look like khalnayaks (villains) or even jokers. Digvijay Singh's remark against Baba is also a clear admission that the government unleashed terror against Ramdev to end his successful and peaceful agitation which was attracting huge public support," the former chief minister said.
Referring to a reported statement made by Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh, she said, "By declaring that Anna will be meted out the same treatment as Baba faced when he was bundled out of Ramlila Maidan, and his followers beaten up, Singh has only made it clear that the UPA government brooks no dissent and is little interested in dealing with rampant corruption in the government".
The former president of Bharatiya Janshakti Party said that the party would be formally merged with BJP in Delhi tomorrow.
"I held no post in that party (Bhartiya Janshakti Party). But I will be present there for the function while the merger formality will be done by that party president Sanghapriya Gautam and BJP national president Nitin Gadkari," said Bharti.
Bharti said she would launch the second phase of 'Ganga Samagra' agitation for rejuvenating the holy river.
"It's very sad that the holy water of the Ganges, which had unique quality of always remaining fresh even after being stored for years, has vanished. We want to find out how that rare quality can be restored," she added. Asked about her plans for Uttar Pradesh of which she was made in-charge by BJP leadership, Bharti said the state elections next year will be fought on the issue of total failure on part of Mayawati government on law and order front.
"Before Mayawati's BSP, which got majority in 2007, BJP was the only party to win elections on its own in that state in 1991. So the BJP has good support base and we are confident of doing well in Uttar Pradesh," she said.
