Ralegan Siddhi (Maha): Anna Hazare who is once again sitting on indefinite fast demanding early passage of Lokpal Bill has blasted both Congress and BJP for the delay in parliament passing the bill.
Anna accused Congress of cheating and misleading people on the Lokpal issue and also hit out at BJP for not “raising its voice” to pressure the government to bring the bill for discussion in the Rajya Sabha.
“You are saying that you will pass the bill. But I have come to know that the government has not kept the Lokpal Bill on the agenda for discussion in the Rajya Sabha.
Today also it was not on the agenda of the House. It means Congress is cheating and misleading the people,” Hazare, on an indefinite fast pressing for passage of Jan Lokpal Bill by Parliament, told a gathering at the Yadav Baba temple here.
The activist, whose fast entered the third day today, said he had written to senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley asking why he didn't press for discussion on Lokpal Bill for past one year in Parliament.
