Did not attend rally because of low turnout: Hazare

New Delhi: Two days after he left Mamata Banerjee red-faced, anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare today said he had skipped the ‘joint' rally here with the Trinamool Congress chief because even 4000 people had not come

Then I checked at 1 pm and then 2 pm. I thought that something is amiss. It is the same Ramlila ground which teemed with people for 12 days (during his agitations earlier) but this time, there were not even 4000 people.

“I was then called (to the venue). This was the mistake.  

This was the dhokhadhadi (deceit),” he said today, explaining why he did not attend the rally for which he had specifically come from Maharashtra a night earlier.  

Naming one of the organisers for misleading, Hazare said he was told that it was Banerjee's rally while the Trinamool chief was told that she was attending Hazare's rally.  “She was misinformed and I was misinformed,” he added.
