Movement to bring back black money dealt blow to UPA : BJP

"The Centre's failure to disclose the names of those who have stashed their black money in banks abroad has dealt a blow to the credibilities of the UPA government," BJP national spokesman Shahnawaj Hussain told reporters here.

"The government has submitted the names in a sealed envelope to the Supreme Court but has not made it public. People want to know the names," he said.

Reiterating Ramdev's issue on black money is also an issue of BJP, Hussain said "BJP had raised it in 2009 and the Centre's white paper on black money is nothing but a black paper."

Hussain said though Congress had included the issue of black money in its election manifesto, by not disclosing or exposing it the Congress has cheated the people.

He said since Ramdev had invited all the parties and therefore the NDA too had supported his move but Baba Ramdev did not said he would form any political party.

"However, we have made the black money an election issue which will continue in future," he said.

Referring to the country's "bad" economic condition, he said in the given situation if the black money was brought back it will immensely help the nation, Hussain said.

To another question, he said the Centre was applying several other methods to disrupt the stir launched by Baba Ram Dev.
