Anna Ready to Support Non-BJP, Non-Cong Front
New Delhi: In a statement that can add more controversy to the ongoing anti-corruption movement, Anna Hazare said he is ready to support and campaign for any political outfit that is corruption-free and belongs to the non-Congress and non-BJP front. In an exclusive interview with Rajdeep Sardesai, Editor-in-Chief of IBN18, Anna said that the movement will be restarted if the demands on the Jan Lokpal Bill are not met by Parliament's Standing Committee. He said the movement is against those who block the Bill and is not anti-parliament in any form. Anna also categorically cleared the point that the movement will not support the BJP Yatra and said, BJP can support the anti-corruption movement by appointing Lokayukta in their states. While showering praises for Indira Gandhi, Anna said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is remote controlled who lacks authority and nobody listens to him in his team. Planning to go aggressive with his campaign, he said "we will sing bhajans outside their houses. I will go to their constituencies and tell people not to vote for them."
