"Is is unfortunate that a mass movement against corruption... is being remote- controlled by some organisations and parties, whether it is RSS or BJP," Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singvi told reporters.

"There is a mini-city within a city in Ramlila Maidan. Who is arranging for this huge logistical operation is also a question," he said.

Baba Ramdev is sitting on a fast at the Ramlila Ground in New Delhi, demanding that the government bring back black money stashed abroad in foreign banks and take urgent actions to curb corruption.
