The Gandhian has been persistent on the introduction of the Lokpal bill Lokayuktas in the states and at the Centre, aside of the implementation of the report of Swaminathan Commission, which has suggested ways to tackle the distress in the sphere of agriculture.
After seven long years when his anti-corruption movement got the people by storm, Anna Hazare, the social activist today alleged the government of creating hurdles for hedging his “satyagraha” protest in Delhi which was held to demand a concrete Lokpal and reasonable production cost for farm produce.
He said, “You cancelled trains carrying protesters to Delhi, you want to push them to violence. Police Force deployed for me as well. I wrote in many letters that I don’t need police protection. Your protection won’t save me. This sly attitude of the government is not done”.

Anna Hazare is expected to start off his indefinite hunger strike in Ramlila Ground of Delhi today as he was given permission by the Delhi police yesterday.
The Gandhian has been persistent on the introduction of the Lokpal bill Lokayuktas in the states and at the Centre, aside of the implementation of the report of Swaminathan Commission, which has suggested ways to tackle the distress in the sphere of agriculture.
More so, he has also made a demand for implementing Agriculture Price Commission along the lines of Niti Aayog and Election Commission.
He had earlier stated that he would continue doing Satyagraha all his life and alleged the Central government for not allocating space for the same.
His protest for the venue will be the same Ramlila Maidan, where he sat down to a hunger strike in the year 2011 as demanded Lokpal from the constitution so as to investigate different corruption cases.
It was sometime earlier that Girish Mahajan Minister of Maharashtra Irrigation had met Hazare to convince him to give up on his fast, yet Hazare who had brought together as good as 6000 people from all over the nation for the cause, gave indications that he would continue going for the fast till the time PM Modi does not come up with a concrete proposal so as to enact Lokpal.
He also went to the extent of saying that he would do “satyagraha from jail” if he is not allocated some spot in New Delhi.
Sometime earlier 31 apolitical associations of farmers from the states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana had partaken to put up an agenda for the satyagraha of 23 March.
