The Fact File
20 August 2012
No. of
articles have appeared on Anna and his movement. This best was published in TOI
Sunday edition by Swaminathan S Anklesaria Aiyar Extracts
Anna’s party would be a great blunder
This is madness. Please
abandon the idea. A political party has to take a stand on a wide array of
issues. This will irretrievably dilute your focus on corruption. Many Muslims
back you on corruption, but hate Ramdev.
Success in politics entails
alliances and coalitions, and this will mean compromises with the very parties
you castigate as corrupt. The problem is
that you and your team have been spoiled by the mass public attention you
attracted last year. You incorrectly thought you had suddenly become great
national leaders. Dead wrong.
Annaji, a national
anti-corruption platform cannot be based on support from Delhi’s middle class
or TV anchors. You have failed to conquer Delhi. Instead of seeking a quick fix
in a new political party, please accept that the way to change India is not
from Delhi downward but from the grassroots upwards.
You have more dependable
fans and followers in Maharashtra than you will ever have in Delhi. Please go
back to your grassroots and try to cleanse Maharashtra first. If you cannot
cleanse Maharashtra, why imagine you can cleanse India?
How True !
