Anna Hazare sets eyes on the Congress

The country's leading political party, Indian National Congress (INC) or Congress Party, as it is popularly known is in the sights of Anna Hazare's as he announces the launch of next round of the protest.

Anna Hazare, today, addressed a press conference at his native village - Ralegan Siddhi, near Pune. He informed the nation that he is looking forward to the passing of the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Winter Session of Parliament - as had been assured by the rulers of the country. He said that he would campaign against the Congress Party in the forthcoming state elections in country, if the party does not work take pro-active steps or dilly-dallys in passing the bill.

Anna Hazare has been crusading for the eradication of corruption in the country.

Right to Information (RTI) today's most powerful weapon against corruption is also the result of Anna Hazare's efforts. RTI gives the Indians information about the corrupt deeds of the babus and netas of India, and now the nation needs a powerful mechanism to investigate and prosecute the corrupt. Jan-Lokpal is Anna Hazare's answer to this.

The way the masses had thronged in support his support when he fasted at Ramlila Maidan, this warning by the anti-corruption crusader must not be taken lightly by the Congress party. One can only hope, the Congress party does not decide to tackle the issue like it has against the anti-corruption and anti-black-money workers in the recent past.
