Will ask people NOT to vote for Cong: Hazare

Good Morning,

Activist Anna Hazare and the Jan Lokpal Bill are back in the news

In a move that is bound to add to the woes of the Congress, Hazare on Tuesday announced his decision to begin a national tour after the festival of Dusshera.

"I will appeal to voters in poll-bound Hisar in Haryana not to vote for Congress as it deliberately did not pass the Jan Lokpal Bill," Hazare told media personnel in his village Ralegan Siddhi.

Hazare will also tour poll-bound states to garner support for the Jan Lokpal Bill and apprise them about the Congress's hesitation in passing the bill.

Emphasising that he had nothing against the ruling party, the activist warned that he will visit Uttar Pradesh, scheduled to go to polls in 2012, to urge the people against voting for the Congress.
