Anna Hazare callled ‘Vyawastha Parivartan’ from Patna

Patna: Anna Hazare on Wednesday launched country-wide ‘Vyawastha Parivartan’ (change in system) programme from Patna’s Gandhi Maidan.
Hazare said that Patna has been chosen to follow the legacy of JP’s (as Narayan was popularly known) anti-corruption movement and to fulfill his dream of total revolution.

He announced that after the Patna rally, he will visit other states in February and March to create awareness among people and to unite them for bringing change in the system in the country.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar supported peoples agitation against ills in the system and agreed with anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare that the dream of Loknayak Jayprakash Narayan had remained unfullfilled.
“Many things which were part of 1974 JP’s ‘Sampoorna Kranti’ like provision for right to recall elected representatives could not be achieved,” Kumar, himself a product of JP movement, told reporters after paying respects to Mahatma Gandhi on Martyrs Day.
“The fight remains incomplete,” the CM said.
Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare is holding ‘Jantantra rally’ at Gandhi Maidan here today for ‘Vyawastha Parivartan’ (change in system).
Kumar said by staying at Charkha Samiti residence of JP, Hazare has touched the peoples’ sentiment. “He has done a very good work (by staying at JP residence).”
Irregularities in the system cannot change without public stir, he said “Nobody dared to ask for bribe during JP movement … But today despite all remedial measures instances of corruption keep coming.
In reference to United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s letter to him in which she promised that the Lokpal Bill will be passed in coming session of the Parliament, Hazare said that there was nothing new in the letter.

“I have been assured through letters for last two years that Lokpal Bill will be passed soon but it is yet to pass,” he said.

Hazare claimed that the government had no intention of ending corruption. “The government’s intention is not clear on this issue,” he said.
