"Team Anna has always been in the grip of Naxalite minded crazies. It is time Anna Hazare dump most of Team Anna and join Action Committee Against Corruption in India (ACACI) and Ramdev for nationalist approach to fighting corruption," Swamy said.

He said Team Anna has accused Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of corruption and want him to be prosecuted but alleged that they have not specified under which section of Prevention of Corruption Act is he prima facie guilty.

He alleged the "glib accusations" appear to derail the legal steps to bring the corrupt to book which ACACI was undertaking.

Last Saturday, Team Anna had brought the Prime Minister under the line of fire levelling corruption allegations against him and seeking an independent probe by Special Investigation Team comprising three prominent retired judges.
