Recent commotion in the Anna team owing to Raju Parulekar’s blog needs attention because, it involves many other matters those may slow down the movement for anti corruption. I wish to blame Anna for taking to no talking, or mauna vrat during such a crucial time. Had he not taken that, this situation would not arise. The issue involves the difference of opinion amongst the people who are hovering around Anna. It appears to general public, which includes me and may be most of the readers that there is tussle for the power in those people. It also appears to me that the subject of anticorruption movement seems to be side tracked and no issues such as team arrangement getting preference.

The trouble primarily began when one member Mr. Prashant Bhushan said something about Kashmir. While doing that he took all care to clarify that that is his ‘very personal’ opinion. However, the supporters of corruption conveniently neglected that clarification and they began to make it into an issue. Mr. Bhushan should have been aware of the times through which the movement is passing and with due respect to it should have been vary careful however he appears to be not smart enough to understand that. From this, I feel care better taken to avoid him from the main team so that such opportunity shall not be available to the corruption supporters in the future. The supporters of corruption are waiting to hit at the main team by any thing and through that creating a picture to, not so careful people, in this country that the movement is faulty.

The matter is clear, as we know that the so-called team of these few people and their deeds are immaterial for the movement. As I have already said in my earlier posting, the character assassination shall not change the tempo of the people of the country against the corruption. Media needs topics for their time pass programs and understanding it, we the people of India are not going to bother what the hot news says.

Now I would like to say something about the person involved in the issue, namely Mr. Raju Parulekar. We all know that Mr. Raju has been in good books of Sharad Pawar for many years. His present position in the Media is essentially due to the blessings of Pawar. We also know that Pawar is an important member of the Black Money Lobby of UPA government. These things explain why Raju cleverly used his position to introduce his ideas in the blog misusing the notes of Anna. As I understand, Raju introduced the idea that many retired judges, military personnel and also experienced bureaucrats have written to Anna suggesting that they be, given an opportunity to join the Anna movement. On the face of it the idea appears to be very cute but when we see the under currents involved, the picture appears to be very grim. All those people mentioned by Raju as aspirants for the opportunity are most probably corrupt. We know that our judiciary, forces and bureaucracy is corrupt. People from these cadres are definitely not the ones we can trust to help in this crucial movement against that very corruption in which these people are entrenched. It is very clear to me that the idea is the brainchild of the great Maratha leader and no body else. His method of working indirectly is, well known to all the ones, who are watching what is going on here. The design is to first drive a wrench in the hitherto working team of Anna and then to bring the “corruption masters” from the retired cadres from these places to replace the team. In this way, they want to finish the movement. Raju has said that he is going to organize a rally at the “Maharashtra Sadan” in New Delhi, in that, these corruption masters from all these cadres are coming to request Anna. That is going to be a very good tamasha to watch.

As I have already said, Anna has to form his political party to do whatever he wishes to do. Depending on other people and their favors is not acceptable to people of India, they want to vote Anna in the coming election and Anna cannot avoid it at any cost. I may say there is something like ‘Anna India’ within India and he should understand that he has to do what Anna India demands. To get the vote of Anna India he has to develop his party, I call that party, Anna’s Congress.

Anna’s anti Congress policy worked miracle; I say this because this anti Congress policy exposed the secretly working agents of Congress within his folds such as Dr. Hegde. I recommend that this anti congress policy should continue for some more time so that all hidden agents of the Black Money Lobby of Congress High Command (CHC) will get out, this shall purify the group. Dr. Hegde’s work to expose Karnataka CM was not to do any good for the anti corruption activity but to destabilize the BJP government. He was very successful in that. We should understand why Mr. Modi of Gujarat government is against appointment of Ayukta. He says that the Ayuktas are all Congress agents appointed to destabilize none Congress governments. This revelation is worth noting.  

A study shows that within any political party of significance the rate of corruption is highest at the Party high Command level and it goes on reducing as it descends. That means the ground level workers of any political party are not corrupt. They work honestly. This revelation is important when calling people to join Anna’s Congress; I call his party “Anna’s Congress” as that word, “Congress” matters in India. Anna should request all the ground level workers of all political parties of significance to join him; keeping all high-level members at bay. Anna shall have to endeavor to train his new team of these many honest social workers, in that may be Kajriwal and Bedi can do work. There are already well-trained workers of Anna’s local teams who shall do that to build a new system of cadres. He shall have to build the party from scratch. He has two years for the work. Care taken that, while accepting any senior level politician, a constant watch kept, seeing if he is playing any mischief. We should note that a large number of ground level members from Congress and NCP are eager to join Anna Congress.

I see that the very first thought of Anna is often correct, but the second thought, probably due to interference from other people, is wrong. I request Anna with due respect to him that he should stick to his first thoughts. 

Anti corruption movement is spear headed by Anna and so he is now the icon for the movement, with this understanding, we all Indians should stop taking his personality lightly the way Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal are doing as what Raju has pointed out in his interview. If these two people think that they are very knowledgeable, a time shall come when people shall test their knowledge.
