New Delhi:
On a day when his associates staged a protest against Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Anna Hazare came out with a new blog handle which is different than the one on the official website of India Against Corruption (IAC), a group that he leads.
This is the third blog handle of Mr Hazare in the past year with the first one, operated by journalist Raju Parulekar, being closed following a bitter feud between the both of them.
The new handle - annahazarethinks.blogspot.in - and the first post on Jan Lokpal was publicised on Twitter by Mr Hazare's close aide Suresh Pathare.
After falling out with Mr Parulekar in November last year, Mr Hazare's blog - annahazaresays - was managed by India Against Corruption, the erstwhile Team Anna, in its official website.
The first post in the new blog talked about his pet theme Jan Lokpal Bill and how the government "cheated" the country on the issue.
His last blog appeared in the IAC website only six days ago in which he alleged that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was "misleading" the country on the Lokpal Bill issue.
Asked about the need for a new blog, Mr Pathare told PTI through a text message, "Yes, it's a new blog. Whenever he is in Ralegan Siddhi, it's easy to update it."
