Fighting for space on national television, patriotic slogans and people dressed as Mahatma Gandhi and Chhatrapati Shivaji -- a carnival atmosphere
prevails at Ramlila Maidan.
Sporting tricolour headbands and wristbands and waving tricolours, people started pouring in the Maidan from early in the morning. Many protesters returned to the ground after a good sleep, saying they want to ensure that the support the Gandhian was receiving should not dwindle. 
"I was here yesterday and we want to ensure that Anna's support does not dwindle," Kishan Kher, a businessman from Meerut said. The crowd broke into cheers as Anna took the centrestage at 9 am. The crowds also clamoured to give a byte to the TV cameras.
