Maintaining a studied silence over his one-time aide Kiran Bedi’s decision to join the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the Delhi election, veteran activist Anna Hazare has hinted that he would kick-start yet another agitation for a corruption-free India soon after the polls.
Addressing the media at Ralegan Siddhi, the septuagenarian activist said: “The mission to free India of corruption is an uphill task.” Reportedly piqued at Ms. Bedi’s move to join the BJP without consulting him, Mr. Hazare had earlier turned away eager television reporters from his house on Wednesday remarking: “I do not want to plunge into the dirt of politics.”
