Patna: Unhappy over
delay in parliament passing the Lokpal Bill, Anna Hazare Tuesday
accused the Congress-led UPA government of cheating him and
people.
"The central government has been cheating us over the issue
(passing the Lokpal Bill)," Hazare said at a press conference
here.
In reference to United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson
Sonia Gandhi's letter to him in which she promised that the Lokpal
Bill will be passed in coming session of parliament, Hazare said
that there was nothing new in the letter.
"I have been assured through letters for last two years that
Lokpal Bill will be passed soon but it is yet to pass," he said.
Hazare claimed that the government had no intention of ending
corruption. "The government's intention is not clear on this
issue," he said.
Hazare was welcomed by hundreds of his supporters at the airport
Tuesday when he arrived ahead of his 'Jantantra' rally Wednesday.
Hazare, who is staying at legendary socialist leader Jayaprakash
Narayan's house here, said that Patna has been chosen to follow
the legacy of JP's (as Narayan was popularly known)
anti-corruption movement and to fulfill his dream of total
revolution.
He announced that after the Patna rally, he will visit four other
states in February and other states from March to create awareness
among people and to unite them for change in the system in the
country.
Hazare asserted that he will continue his fight for changing the
system till he is alive.
