In his reply to Hazare's letter, Parliamentary Affairs Minister V Narayanasamy mentioned various steps taken by the government to bring in the Lokpal Bill. Hazare said he had received Narayanasamy's letter on Tuesday.

Expressing his displeasure over the government's efforts, Hazare said, "The correspondence has been going on for last two years but without any result. Earlier, the Centre assured that the bill will be presented in Budget session of parliament. The selection committee had passed it on Nov 23, 2012, but nothing happened even in the monsoon session also."

"Now, the nation wants result and not the reason and that is why I will be observing hunger strike," the septuagenarian said.

Hazare informed the agitation will be held here and not at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi.
