Social activist Anna Hazare has termed Congress president Sonia Gandhi's pledge of support to his agitation against the new Land Acquisition Bill as politically motivated.

At a programme organised by Hind Samachar group, for distributing aid to martyrs' family here yesteday, Anna said, ''Sonia Gandhi's only intention in opposing the Land Acquisition Bill is to gain politicial mileage for Congress." 

"Like the NDA government at the Centre, the Congress too doesn't think about farmers's welfare. Had it been so, UPA would have carried out land survey throughout the country before passing the Land Acquisition Act in 2013," he said.

Replying to Anna's on the Land Bill issue, the Congress president had last week assured the social activist that her party will oppose the Bill at all fora.
