Congress Dares Hazare to Contest from Chandni Chowk


New Delhi, Aug 2 (IANS): The Congress Monday dared social activist Anna Hazare to contest from Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha constituency here after the civil society released findings of a survey which said 85 percent people there favoured their version of the Lokpal bill.

"I have heard about his survey... Lok Sabha polls will be held in 2014. (Hazare) can contest from Chandni Chowk. Truth will come out clearly," party spokesperson Manish Tewari told reporters.

Replying to questions on the findings of the survey, Tewari said that whether it is a survey or not, there cannot be tinkering with the structure of the constitution.

Hazare's team carried out a survey on Lokpal bill in Chandani Chowk represented by Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal, saying the survey had been done in Sibal's constituency as he was "the government face of Lokpal bill".

Arvind Kejriwal, a member of Team Hazare, Monday said initial results of the opinion poll showed that 85 percent people favoured the Jan Lokpal bill.

Tewari said Hazare and his friends should have "faith in the wisdom and discretion of Parliament" once the government places the Lokpal Bill in the House.

But Anna Now a days Crossing his limits.if he really wants to bring his Jan Lokpal Bill he can call for all party meeting in his capacity and keep his points in front of them.

    Anna humorously told that Digvijay Singh should be admitted to mental hospital [pagal khana] for calling him RSS agent.

    Same thing applies to Tony, Lancelot, Ronald, and V A D Silva for their irresponsible comments.

    THIS MAN CALLED ANNA HAZARE IS JUST FARTING IN THE WATERS. IF HE IS SO SURE ABOUT HIS LOK PAL IS NON-CORRUPTIBLE WHY CAN'T HE FORM A PARTY AND CONTEST THE ELECTIONS AND THEN BRING ABOUT THE REQUIRED CHANGES IN THE POLITY. WE HAVE AN ELECTED DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT WHICH IS IN SESSION AT THE MOMENT AND HIS THREAT OF NON-SENSICAL FAST SHOULD BE CURTAILED TO SAVE LAW AND ORDER SITUATION IN DELHI.
