New Delhi: Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) chief Nitin Gadkari Friday welcomed Anna Hazare
and his team's announcement to enter the political arena but
stressed that it could not become an alternative to his party.
In an interview to NDTV news channel, Gadkari said the BJP
supports "anyone who's against corruption, be it Anna Hazare or
Baba Ramdev. If Anna seeks our support, we will help".
He said Team Anna could not become an alternative to the BJP but
the Congress could.
He also said his party did not face any threat from this new
group.
To a question whether all was well with the National Democratic
Alliance, which his party heads, especially with Janata Dal-United
(JD-U) chief Nitish Kumar taking a different stand on various
issues, Gadkari said NDA was "intact". He added that he was
confident that Nitish Kumar would stay with the coalition.
Hazare and his team members Thursday announced they were calling
off their indefinite fast on Friday at 5 p.m. and proposed forming
a political alternative.
