    Anna Hazare seeks medical aid in New Delhi

    Ralegan Siddhi, Jan 29 (ANI): Veteran social activist and anti-graft crusader, Anna Hazare arrived here today from his native village Ralegan Siddhi in Maharashtra, for medical check-up at the Medanta hospital in Gurgaon (Haryana).

    Anna said he wanted to regain his health soon and continue with his movement.

    "I still face some problem that is why I am going for a check-up. We have to again start our fight as soon as I get healthy. We have to fight for 10-12 years, the fight will not end soon, and it is a long fight. Till we don't get a corruption free country, this fight will continue," said Hazare.

    The anti-graft activist has been at loggerheads with the Congress Party over the Ombudsman Bill - an emotionally charged issue for which the Gandhian went on hunger strikes, three times, last year.

    Anna and his close aides have already started their campaign in four poll-bound states to raise awareness amidst the voters to choose a righteous candidate who supports the anti graft Lokpal Bill.

    Elections will be held in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand and Goa.

    Meanwhile, elections in Manipur were held on January 28.

    The ensuing polls are being viewed as an opportunity for India's major parties to re-establish or strengthen their footholds in the country's five major states. (ANI)

      The two critters, Abdullah and "Voice of consicene" are exibiting their true colour of stupidity. It is going to be a very long way or no way for these two to mature and develop some grey matter.

      A 75 year old man with less then 1000rs as bank balance living in a small house less then 100 sq.ft room in his village and you people accuse him enjoying luxury if he was not to travel in a ac bullet proof car then he will go walking or on horse from ralegoan to delhi and mumbai or maybe cycle ??? whats wrong with your conscious here or you don't have any conscious left anymore remember societies are great with a clean thought and mind corruption makes a man weak compromise his morale can u imagine if this cancer will spread to the army and navy what will happen of us ???? you have absolutely no idea some 1 wants to stop it should be supported and not get your emotions in which u will unless you belong to a particular party a simple bill had to be passed which ensured transparency and honesty but it was not done we all saw why were we denied a anti-corruption bill? does the govt not want to society and its machinery to be corruption free&honest ???

      I wish to Great Anna ji to get well soon & we have really inspired by you ,we all see how KEENCHAD(Politics) Mein KAMAL KHILATE Hai?
      He is the fresh air for us,We don't care how much crowd available during his last Agitation in Mumbai,but by heart we are with you ever & in future we himself/herself be the ANNA we can not expect more by this great man but we can go on the holy path of this man.
      But we learnt a lot from this great man,unfortunately he is bit older but we see the real energy of this great man & unintentionally or intentionally we intented to follow him with closed eyes.
      ofcourse there is no comparison between Gandhi Ji but the theme was same.
      There is no question for him for Personal interest if anybody against him then the mentality is really in question?
      jai Hind(we love our great nation)
      Jai Anna(we love the persons like you)

      UPA has jailed many of its corrupt ministers. How many has the Sangh jailed?

      Anna is Anna, and Gandhi was Gandhi. there is no comparison of Gandhi and Anna. It is a total mismatch. Where was Gandhi, where is Anna. Gandhi was fit and never worried about his health and went to hospital for Medical check up. Anna seeks luxury hospitals for treatment leaving his own state and moving to other states. This is purely a popularity check not medical check. However, I wish him live long and fight for 10-15 years as he predicted himself that it is not that easy to fight corruption in a month of winter or summer session.

      what service he has done?worked for few years as driver and then took premature retirement.claims to be war hero when neither fired nor faced a single bullet.enjoys life at the cost of public money collected for public cause.wears starched.ironed,super white clothes, fly by business class, travels in SUVs,relaxes in AC cabins while fasting,holds closed door meetings with politicians during MOUNVRAT,advocates slaping and public floging. he is not a civilised person but we are.let us wish him get well soon.

      The RSS brains trusthas dressed one of their uneducated cadre in Gandhi cap,clothes, glasses etc.It is clear from the response of smart Mumbai people , that their obvious attempt has backfired. He is only fooling simple N. India people..........
