He said it was "bizarre" for State Bank of India to invest Rs 2,450 crore to pick up a 49-per cent stake in the crisis-ridden bank under a government-approved bailout plan.

The fiasco in the private sector lender was caused by "mismanagement of financial institutions under BJP government", the Congress leader said and demanded a thorough probe by the Reserve Bank of India into the crisis.

A day after imposing a 30-day moratorium on Yes Bank and capping withdrawal limit at Rs 50,000, the RBI on Friday evening issued a draft reconstruction scheme for the private sector lender.
