Yogi Ramdev a close associate of anna hazare is instrumental in coordinating stir in Delhi for Anna during UPAII regime that was vital for defeat of Congress in 2014 general elections
Under the banner of ‘Jan Andolan Satyagraha’, Anna Hazare launched his indefinite hunger strike on January 30 at his village Ralegan-Siddhi to demand the setting up of a Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayuktas in states as the Narendra Modi government “had failed” to set up the anti-corruption bodies.
“Through Lokpal, even the prime minister can be investigated if people will give any evidence against him…Similarly, in Lokayukta a chief minister and all ministers and MLAs under him can be investigated if somebody gives any evidence against them. That’s why they don’t want it. No party wants it. Lokpal was passed in Parliament in 2013, but the government is yet to appoint it,” Hazare said
But in social media bloggers question why Hazare slept for 4 years and 9 months and suddenly waken up now . Also lot questions in Social media weather his movement is only to support NDA Government led by BJP
