    Anna Hazare to meet core body in Delhi to discuss future strategy

    Ralegan Siddhi (Maharashtra), Feb.22 (ANI): Social activist Anna Hazare is expected in New Delhi today to chalk out a fresh strategy to revive the anti-graft movement with his core team members.

    Hazare told media in Ralegan Siddhi, Maharashtra, that there was a need to reignite the fire among people so that they can root out corruption.

    "Today, there is a meeting in Delhi. The main motive behind this is to decide how the movement would take place in the near future. We have to formulate a strategy for the movement. The people of the country think that the movement has died out. We have to ignite the movement till the corruption is totally rooted out from this country," said Hazare.

    Over the past year, India has been transfixed by a campaign led by Anna Hazare to force the government to create an ombudsman, which would prosecute corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.

    Hazare's initial hunger strikes brought millions of sympathisers out on the streets and forced the government into a series of humiliating U-turns.

    But now, it appears that Team Anna has lost some steam.

    When Hazare launched his third hunger strike just before the New Year, hardly anybody turned up, and he had to call it off prematurely because he was ill.

    Team Anna's priority will be to fight for a strong ombudsman. But, after that, it could do a lot worse than turn its attention to the transparency side of the anti-corruption agenda. (ANI)

      I think team ANNA ji should come with a political party ( with positive ideas for the INDIA and its people) and create a positive law system so as to create better society and humanity. I hope they know this thing that there is nothing permanent in the temporary world. And their members will not become like any other common politician. or we should demand a president rule.

Bus Ek Dhamaakedaar Chhot to karo Chhor aur Chaaplooson par phir dekho Aapke saath Kandhey se kandhey kaise miltey hai.. Kejriwalji & Kiran ma'm ko Naman! Kiran ma'm remember jub aapne Dilli mein crane ka bharpur use kiya thaa! We still cherish those moments.. Once again aisa hi kuch kar dikhaiyey

      Anna can meet core body for future planning to fight corruption. It is good for the nation but they should not go in different direction talking mouthful playing game with political parties and talking different ways to make money. They should keep away from politics leaving that for corrupt crooks. To fight corruption go with more corrupt people is not fight against corruption. I am talking to team Anna. beware...

      Anna's team is drowning in the whirlpool of confusion because of its choice of hazardous, forbidden arena of politics,first by hissing in Hissar and thereafter by joining electoral battle in UP in the guise of fighting against corruption.He is an abandoned revolutionary lost out in the wilds but still surrounded by activists and politicians whose aim is solely to float on the national scene for fame and growth of their own business/ service activities.
      Anna hould reconstitute his team with men and women dedicated for selfless service , concentrate on single agenda, India against corruption, and make rapport with Dr. sing for furtherance of his objectives. He should be an acceptable person for all people of India in his attitude, utterances and beheviour.
      If he cannot emerge out of this embroilment with a clean image and intention his movement is destined to its doom.

      They must discuss where they have been wrong to lose the public support given to them with such openness. They should make anti corruption fight as a fight against the system and not against a particular govt. The corruption has to be seen as an act by an individual and those who support or try to protect have to be named in their individual capacity and the action must be demandded against them as an individual and not as a political party and then only it will bring fruit plus will have the complete public support across all party affiliation.

      Its high time to screw up the corrupt and Anna need to come up with innovative ideas. Those who dont agree with my comment and give a thumbs down are corrupt to their core !!

      I will not blame Anna but the team has done a big mistake by opposing a specific political party. They should have talked about corruption only but they started campaign against congress. In current scenario you can't oppose a party and support other. Because all are corrupt.
      Team Anna should revive it's strategy and avoid talking about political parties. They need to talk about corruption and common man. They need to learn at least this lesson that If they try to get support of any political party then common man's support will be lost.

      Annaji' health is very important. The core members of Anna team should work together without any ego or self-interest. This is nowor never. So everyone should support Annaji to save India's democracy, pride and self-reliance.

      Annaji activities will not gain momentum because majority of the Indians love corruption. This congress also knows and people also know. For them Annaji is a mad person, uneducated driver, fool, idiot blah blah blah. They can’t see mad people like diggy, tiwari, sibil, etc. ; they can't see an uneducated bartender ruling the country, they can't see an uneducated fool trying to become PM. But they see all these qualities in one genuine person - Anna. Nothing can be done; no progress can be expected for India as long as these corrupt individuals are there. Annaji should understand that in every nook and corner of the country we have people that literally breathe corruption. So there is no point in fighting with these shameless people.
