Nevermind low turnout, millions watched Anna on TV: Bedi

December 28, 2011 18:02

Here is Team Anna's explanation of the poor turnout at the MMRDA ground in Mumbai.

Kiran Bedi said one should not just go by the number of people who turn
up at the venue, but the support received from the masses on the internet and other means should also be taken into account. Bedi said lakhs of youth have been expressing their support to the anti-corruption campaign on the internet.

"There are millions of people who are watching the fast live on television channels. They also support Anna Hazare. It is not necessary for them to come to the venue," she said.

Bedi also said Team Anna would continue to create awareness among the public on Lokpal and will fight till the end.
