Anna Hazare to fast-unto-death from tomorrow

Very few people have attended the indefinite fast that was started by the anti corruption crusader Anna Hazare on the issue of a Lokpal bill but this did not discourage him from starting his fast unto death from tomorrow. He also has taken the decision to give the people a political alternative in the 2014 elections.

He had bashed at BJP and Congress saying that the country is not safe under their rule. However, he himself was not willing to participate in the elections. He had said that he would back and campaign for those who are selected to have a clean background.

He also accused the government saying that he and the country were being cheated on the issue of the lokpal bill which led to him fasting again and again. He said that this was not a "happy thing".

"I will fast until we get Jan Lokpal," Hazare said after the four day ultimatum to the government had expired.

He said that it was important to have "good people" in the government to ensure that a strong Lokpal Bill would be passed.

He has said that he would tour the country and urge the people to fight the elections. He would also probe their backgrounds and put their names on the Internet to find out the people's opinions about them.
