AAP Has The Potential To Shake The Modi Government: Anna Hazare

Social activist and anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare is of the opinion that the Aam Admi Party has the potential to shake the Modi government.

Anna HazareOne of BJP's political ads is the topic of discussion these days. The ad depicts AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal in marital knot with the Congress party, and in the background Anna's picture is shown with a garland over it. When Anna was asked to comment on the mentioned ad, he said he would not like to comment as he has not seen the ad yet. After he was shown the cartoon, he burst into laughter.


When the media asked him to respond to Kejriwal's statement that the BJP has 'murdered' Anna, he again laughed out loudly.      

Hazare refused to comment on the coming Delhi elections. He said that he will only comment on the topic when the results are out.

Anna said that he has lost all faith in the Modi government. He further said that not just he but the people of India have also grown disenchanted with the Modi government.

Anna vowed that a movement for a strong Janlokpal Bill and an impartial Land Acquisition Act will be kick-started in Delhi soon. He said, "During the election Modi promised that he will weed out corruption from the system, and bring the black money home; but, there is corruption everywhere, and nothing has been done towards bringing the black money back. And to make the things worse, the BJP government has changed the Land Acquisition Act in favor of the rich."  


On being asked about the movement he said that everything will be scheduled after a meeting within the organization. But, one thing is certain that the movement will have none of the old members of the previous movement.

PM Modi Starts BJP's Election Campaign In Delhi

The CMs of Haryana, Maharashtra, and Jharkhand were felicitated for their respective victories in the assembly election last year. Many of Modi's cabinet colleagues were also there along with the BJP President Amit Shah.  

Taking a dig at Arvind Kejriwal, the PM asked his audience - at least 25-30 thousand people were there- “have you ever seen a leader who says, 'yes I am an anarchist,' let then do dharnas and all those kinds of things, give reins of power to." 

The BJP has not been able to come to power in Delhi for the past 16 years. Delhi BJP head Satish Upadhayay said that the party is pretty confident to sweep the election this time.

Delhi assembly election was held on 4 December 2013, in which no political party could gather a clear majority. Arvind Kejriwal managed to form a government with support from Congress; but he resigned after ruling for 49 days following the failure of the introduction of Delhi's Jan Lokpal Bill.


Fresh elections will be held in late January and/or early February 2015.
