I am not with Anna

I hate corrupt politicians but for practical reasons I hate more: the corrupt cop at street crossing, the official who visits our home checking credentials for passport, the Electricity utility official, the LPG distributor, corrupt officials at municipality and the courts...something needs to be done quickly to address this thugi. And I am with Anna Hazare only for the common concern we may share, but his methodology and the company he tags along, is actually complicating the issues and is juvenile and would only lead to self-defeatism.

I wonder how many people in India had known such remote places as Champaran,Vardha till Gandhi used these for his mission. Can Anna do that to Ralegan Siddhi? Despite having favorably inclined TV channels at his disposition? He can't.Anna must understand that if masses are with him he could as well do his 'fast' at Ralegan Siddhi and gather million people for Govt to take notice and submit to him...Why he need to come to Delhi ?

What Anna is doing is sheer base politics. His methodology is not an iota different from any other political party and motives of his Team are same i.e. to gain popularity and authority but he is doing so using means which are not even constitutional.Why can't he bring his views before Parliamentary Standing Committee? Even Jaiprakash was better leader: he brought in political amalgamation of diverse ideologies which fought election and threw away Indira. Can Anna do that? Fighting elections and bringing change? I can disagree with most what Sibal says but I too firmly believe Annna is not alone...there are hidden dark forces behind him who are goading him for creating chaos. And like always public is gullible and emotional.

We must pay attention to leader called Kanshi Ram. Probably no leader not even Ambedkar would ever match his practical endeavors to actually DELIVER empowerment to his followers. One may dislike him , his party, his views but it would be difficult to ignore that he attained a difficult task through constitutional means only.That is praiseworthy. Slogan shouting, social media misuse, mass texting even restoring to advertisements -what Anna is doing- would not be able to keep steam blowing for long. One needs maturity and depth which Anna and his team lacks. For genuine movements we will have to wait for mature leadership to emerge not Ramdev and Anna.
