Kiran Bedi tries to drum up support
December 27, 2011  13:55

Toral Varia reporting from the MMRDA ground says the dismal turnout at the site of Anna Hazare's fast obviously disappointed Team Anna. This, clearly evident in the way Kiran Bedi tried to ensure interest remained by creating a two-part story on why and how she got involved with the agitation.

"I will tell you the first part today, for the second part you will have to come tomorrow. You will come na? (Distinctly pleading tone, as opposed to her strident tone at Jantar Mantar). You will leave your homes and offices to come here and show your support, na?" 

Kiran Bedi offered her thanks to those who had turned out to support the fast. She said, "I extend my thanks to those of you who were standing on pavements waving at Anna as he was passing by from Juhu to MMRDA. Even if they haven't come here to the grounds, they have still expressed their support.

"I also thank those who are at home and watching this protest. (Doesn't know she's on mute on TV thanks to the Parliamentary debate). At least they are watching and connecting with us. They are keeping track of this movement."
