Anna Hazare
The man with no political backup, Anna Hazare has a strong support base today and the movement he leads can bring in a lot of changes. After the historic fast for a strong Lokpal Bill, the Gandhian has decided to take a nationwide tour to all the poll-bound states to mobilize the public against those opposing the bill. Team Anna sees the yatra as the best opportunity to bring people closer to the movement by opening a forum of directly interaction with Hazare. The tour also will accelerate the civil society's efforts in expanding its agenda from anti-corruption to electoral reforms. Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, Santosh Hegde, and Prashant Bhushan will organize the schedule. The yatra is expected to begin in the month of October and will mostly cover the states that are going to polls soon such as Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh.
