Anna Hazare started his faction with the support of few a members; a cop kiran Bedi, a revenue collector Arvind Kejriwal and Lawyer & Lawyer son duo the Bhushans. Anna deserves all credit for taking up the issue of Lokpal Bill, the public anger against the rampant corruption in the various Government echelons and the media focus involved forced the power confederation to take a premature Handshake. A half hearted initiative though; a label of civil society was affixed to them and the Congress Crisis Management team obliged to an audience with them. The wild and civil society members sat together, to write the ombudsman Law for India and finally ended up writing the two complementary Jokepal tragedies. An extraordinary gesture, members of Government directly taking the public on board while preparing a policy draft, god’s grace .The parliament had to take the burden of scrutinizing two other versions, in progression the House preceded towards a quandary. Irked over the pandemonium in parliament; Anna voiced his revolutionary intentions; the strong arm of law placed the who’s who of Indian corruption as Anna’s cellmates. A country rose up against the police atrocity, a government of the people had to give up. Anna’s campaign started with his fast, a horde of volunteers joined his team. The fast caught the limelight of the media, support poured in from all echelon’s of the Indian society. The alternative media too played an active role in the campaign; people’s power terrorized the ruling class. Worried over loss of its privilege, the political class rose up to occasion and concurred with each other.
The fast as such ended with a very positive note, victory for everyone and loss for none. The movement brought together a country; many India’s develop into one nation. People recognized the power of Unity, technology and media proved their roles in a democracy. The fortnight of the movement, would ever remain etched in the annals of Indian History in Golden words.
The individualistic ego was the first killer, Baba Ramdev, a popular Yoga guru wanted to start a similar movement against Black money. The campaign was crushed with by the iron first of the state, all known sources of Income was ascertained. The black money crusader failed to prove the shade of his money as white. The second saffron clad swami Agnivesh was isolated as a mole of the Government. The teams decision to oppose the congress in the Hissar By-election saw some more volunteers withdrawing from the team. Bhushan Jr was publicly manhandled, for his anti-National views on Kashmir. Kiran Bedi was accused of overcharging her travel bills and Kejriwal of siphoning of donations made by public to his trust. The movement collected a Hoard of rupees and its account was revealed only after public accusations. Anna on the other hand was/is accused as an RSS mole. Anna cleverly went on Maun Vrath during this period and kept his integrity intact, but in the eyes of the public the team lost its credibility. To make up for the lost image, creation of a private ombudsman was proposed; people who wrote the ombudsman law for the country are in need of a private one for their own actions.
In the mean while, the gang of four, refuse to fade away from the media glare, one wonder why on earth they don’t trust the parliament? Why face all the unnecessary attacks and controversies? Why the disillusioned temperament is still kept alive? Is it for the continuous stream of cash flow? In conclusion, the team has become greedy, parochial and corrupt. Alas, the political class has successfully integrated Team Anna in to their order.
