Anna has become an epidemic in this country, which spread like wildfire. People trusted Anna & his team, people supported them, which I think was the biggest support to a leader post independence. The most important aspect of the movement Anna,was, that people of India, beyond their class, creed, caste & other things took to the roads to support Anna. Their were students, their were businessmen, their were housewives, their were children, their were actors..... I mean you name it & we have it.
Those were the people who with their own will came to support Anna ji. Democracy's fourth pillar- Media also supported Anna ji with all it's forces. And we all saw the result. Government had to accept Anna's demands, they had to promise to form a strong Lokpal bill, however they broke the promise later as they always do. But that movement ended successfully.
Now see the one they recently started, in which three of Anna team members began hunger strike. Anna also joined them after a couple of days. The goal was same, Team Anna was the same, The people that thronged Jantar mantar were same... then what changed... yes many things changed this time...
number 1- media didn't supported team Anna same way they did during their first movement. ( there were some reports that congress people have threatened Indian Media to cancel their licence if they keep showing POSITIVE side of Anna movement, which I feel, might be true because I have been in media & know the pressure they work under)
Number 2- government also completely ignored Anna movement. I mean people had been continuing their hunger strike for ten days & none of the government minister came to team Anna & talk to them. Instead they refrained from commenting on their fast & demonstrations. This I think was the part of a strategy. This was a Chanakya Rarneeti, which shook team Anna's courage. They were getting huge support of Indian people but nobody from the government was talking to them. Instead, Indian media with their pointless discussions, were tarnishing their image.
So there was no other way for team Anna, then to end their movement halfway. And I have been in support of their forming a political party since the beginning of their movement. Because I feel that changes can be made only when you have enough power to bring them. & for that power they'll have to join politics with a clear & concrete intention to bring changes. We can't just start movement every time we want something from the government. We actually need power to change something. So in that decision, I back team Anna...
Of course the way to power corridors is not really easy, plus the most tedious task is to keep oneself focused to one's goal. There are many temptations, many elements that can deviate one from its ultimate path to success, but still I feel that if team Anna would join politics & if we would send them to parliament with the power of our votes, they can, up to some extent, cleanse the polluted polity of India & they would also make some tough laws to curb corruption.
What is wrong in giving them a chance. We have been giving chances to both congress & BJP even after knowing both the parties' true shady natures. Now when there can be a new option, what is the problem in trying it. and we should not forget that they would be like infants in the Indian politics, so even if they would think to be corrupt, they can no way beat veteran parties congress & BJP. When their are two dangers, one always chooses to face what is less dangerous. And I think Anna's political party would be less dangerous then others. So I am ready to give them a chance. do you...?
