Anna to start campaign trail from 21st Jan
Anna and team revealed its campaign plans for the Assembly polls in five
states starting with Uttarakhand on January 21 and spending a major part of
February in Uttar Pradesh but will not ask people to vote in favour or against any
Particular party.
However, they will not target a single party during the campaign but put forward
the need for a strong Lokpal.
“During these tours, the response of various parties to the movement and their
stand on Lokpal Bill would be told to the people. People would be encouraged to
ask all parties whether they would bring a strong Lokayukta Bill.
“The movement would not ask people to vote in favour or against any particular
party. It would be left to their wisdom,” Team Anna spokesperson said.
“Annaji may also join the campaign, we are trying hard for that, but Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan, Kejriwal are the confirmed campaigners,” said Manish Sissodia of Team Anna.
The first state Team Anna would visit is Uttarakhand, where they would tour for
three days till January 23 followed by Punjab for two days on January 24 and
January 25.
After this they will return to Uttarakhand on January 27 and January 28.
“The month of February has been primarily dedicated to Uttar Pradesh elections,
which Team Anna would visit from February 2nd till February 25,” a Team Anna
spokesperson said.
The tour program would coincide with the different phases of election in UP.
On February 28, 29 and March one, the campaign will be in Goa.
Team Anna had faced criticism for its anti-Congress stand earlier and it revised
its stand early this month after a meak response to Anna Hazare’s protest in
