Anna says he will back non-BJP, non-Cong front

Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare has said that he is willing to back and campaign for any political outfit that is corruption-free and belongs to the non-Congress and non-BJP front.

Talking to IBN18 Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai, Anna said that he plans to restart his movement if Parliament's Standing Committee does not agree to his demands on the Jan Lokpal Bill.

Defending his campaign, Anna said that the movement is not anti-Parliament, but against those blocking the Bill.

Anna also praised former prime minister Indira Gandhi, saying the country needs leaders like her who can work for the poor.

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Anna said, "The Prime Minister lacks authority and nobody listens to him in his team."

Anna also made it clear that he will go from constituency to constituency asking people not to vote for the MPs who are against the Jan Lokpal Bill. "The MPs who are against it, we will sing bhajans outside their houses. I will go to their constituencies and tell people not to vote for them," Anna said.
