The social networking sites are abuzz with the news of the crusade against corruption Anna Hazare’s recent declaration about returning back the coveted award Padma Vibhushan in protest against the non fulfillments of his earlier demands especially appointment of Lokpal etc at the centre as well in other states of the country.

Highly dejected and critical of the BJP led NDA government n the top leaders Anna Hazaare says that he is now repenting of opposing the then Dr. Manmohan Singh government as the BJP n RSS has derived the maximum political advantage out of the movement against corruption organised in Delhi by way of dethroning the the earlier regime and acquiring power at the centre.

He catagorically said that it was the BJP which came to power at the centre in 2014 n Arvind Kejrival’s AAP a year later deriving entire political milieage from his nationwide movement launched by him at Delhi’ s Ramleela Ground n Jantar Mantar. He flatly refused to meet any centre’s emisary or minister to talk on any issue n said that if those at the helm are really serious they should transparently fulfill his demands especially the one related to appointment of Lok Pal.

He castigated the NDA government led by BJP n its political n administrative CEO of telling all lies n misguiding the people of the country and said that the time has come teach them a befitting lesson. It may be recalled that the renowned crusader against corruption Anna Hazare has been on indefinte hunger strike at his village Ralegaon Sidhi for the last six days in support of his demands n have threatened to return back the coveted Padma Vibhushan honour, the fourth highest civilian award of the country.

The indefinite Hunger Strike in support of the demands of farmers n setting up of Lok Pal was started by Anna Hazaare and his supporters in Rale Gaon Sidhi on 1st of January n today is the 6th day. His followers at pan India level organised deminstrations n sit ins in supoort of Anna’s demand in 136 places in Maharashtra n over 40 places in various parts of India.

Anna Hazare has however welcomed the Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejrival to come at Rale Gaon Sidhi n join him in his noble endeavour but has unambiguosly said that he will not be allowed to share the stage with him.

He warned the union government that if the demands of the farmers of the country partaining to loan waivers and MSP etc including setting up of Lok Pals are not met he would have no option but to return back the coveted honour Padma Vibhushan forthwith.

As per the latest news Anna Hazaare has now given up his fast on the sixth day after having been assured by the Maharashtra chief minister Fadnavis and the the union Agriculture minister Radha Mohan Singh of fulfilling the major demands pertaining to the farmers.

After a marathon meeting with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare called off his fast Tuesday. The 81-year-old said that he was satisfied with the promises made by govt on Lokpal, Lokayukta and agriculture pricings.
