"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."  -by  Mahatma Gandhi Well in terms of team Anna in can be said that, "First they ignore you, then they arrest you , then they attack you , and then you win" Well as per Mahatma Gandhi every movement goes through 4 phases. Similar can be drawn from the Anna Hazare's movement. Let us try and analyse this whole movement on this four phases. Phase I: First they ignore you When Anna Hazare and his team started for there movement in 2010 most of the government and policitcal parties ignored them. They dismissed the movement by saying that lokpal will be formed by the government when needed. The team later in March went and met the Prime Minister and asked him to form a joint drafting committee for the lokpal bill. The PM turned a deaf ear to their demand and even to threat of Anna Hazare of going for fast if their demand is not met. After the fast of 8th April, 2011 fin...

The Hisar by poll have been histroic by many means. It was a direct fight between Team Anna and Congress, after Congress president refused to give in writting support for Jan Lokpal Bill of Anna Hazare. Anna Hazare had asked for letter of support for the bill from all the parties out of which only Congress denined the support letter. Seeing the same Anna Hazare had issued recorded video message to voters of Hisar and had asked them not to vote for congress considering there non commital to issue of Lokpal bill. The results are out and Congress has been given historic defeat by the people of Hisar in loksabha by-poll. The Congress candidate has lost the deposit in the election. After the Anna call congress had put up its all power to win the elections. The congress CM of Haryana had gone door to door during election campaing in Hisar, but it all seems to have gone down the drain. The final count of the election result showed Kuldeep Bishoni winning the seat followed by Ajay Chautal...

Ralegan Siddhi, 12th October 2011. My dear sisters and brothers, Namaskar! I will be issuing an appeal to the people not to cast their vote for the forthcoming legislative assembly elections to be held in five states along with Uttar Pradesh if the government does not pass the Janlokpal Bill in the Parliaments Winter session. When I made this announcement on Gandhi Jayanti people from every corner of the world have been trying to get in touch with me and my associates to know what exactly my stand on the matter is. I want to clear a few things. 64 years have passed since our country achieved freedom. Majority of times Congress has been in power. After attaining ‘independence’ our country should have transformed in to ‘Surajya’(welfare state in true sense) In real sense there should have been development instead of exploitation of nature and human beings. Nothing of that sort happened. Development today is an illusion created by the government and at the same time people are ...

Diggi Raja as popularly known, is quite synonymous with controversies. But this days he is raking up new controversies by attacking Team Anna. Before coming to this lets take up the old controveries and the reason for him being Rakhi Sawant of Indian politics. Today there are jokes on twitter which reads, "Digvijay suspects RSS hand behing RSS feed". The one recently posted on facebook which reads, "Digvijay to teach young politicans on how to stay on news media 24*7". Last time after 26 /11, he went on record to say that he had got call from late Hemant Karkare, before he died that RSS is involved in terror attacks. Later on he goes on to attack Anna Hazare saying that its RSS backed movement, whereas Digvijay had himself seek support of Anna Hazare few years back when he was CM of Madhya Pradesh. At the same time he calls Osama Bin Landen as "Osamaji", while attacks all the safforn  parties So why sudden attack on Anna Hazare? What has changed s...

Since the day Anna Hazare gave a call for passing of Jan Lokpal Bill every day has been a nervous day for the political parties. Especially the ruling party at the center i.e. Congress UPA alliance. Though Anna and his team had several meeting with the Congress led government for the effective and strong Lokpal bill , every-time the government tried to block there views. Now it becomes critical for team Anna to hit the Congress where it hurts the most , Elections. The Hisar by elections is a testing time for all Indians, if the congress gets defeated on the Jan lokpal issue it will have to get it passed by the winter session of the parliament. So what if congress gets defeated in Hisar by election? How will it affect the national scene and Jan lokpal bill passing? If the congress gets defeated due to the Anna Hazare call, then party will has to sit and listen to people of India for the passing of the lokpal bill at the earliest, failing to which the Team Anna will begi...
