Anna, Team Splits Officially

Anna said that he will lead his war for Lokpal bill till election 2014. "Now it is that the government has to decide whether bring Lokpal or my death," he said.

Anna Hazare Tuesday said he did not support the idea of anti-corruption movement taking a political plunge and told Arvind Kejriwal that he should not expect his support for all his candidates.

"He (Kejriwal) will go his way and I will go mine. I have always stated that I don't want to form a political party and contest elections. My path is different," Hazare has said Tuesday in Pune.

The social activist's declaration that he would neither contest elections nor form a political party effectively threw cold water on a "referendum" by IAC, the results of which were released Monday.

According to IAC, its week-long survey attracted 737,041 respondents, of whom 561,701 (76 percent) favoured a political party while the rest were against the idea.
