Anna Hazare At The Ramlila Maidan

Social activist Anna Hazare has lost 3 kg since he began his indefinite hunger strike at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi on Friday, but his blood pressure is normal, his aide said today.

Kisan Baburao Hazare, better known as Anna Hazare today started an indefinite hunger strike with a demand for the government to set up a Lokpal. He began his strike at Ramlila Maidan this morning - the same ground where his stir for an anti-corruption body seven years ago caught the country's imagination. In 2011, he sat on a similar hunger strike ...

Anna Hazare, who had launched his anti-corruption movement from Delhi nearly seven years ago, has returned to the iconic Ramlila Maidan in the capital. After over half a decade, his demands haven't changed, and neither has his modus operandi. He began his indefinite hunger strike against the central government for failing to set up the Lokpal at th...

Social activist Anna Hazare will go on an indefinite hunger strike at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on October 2 over the Land Acquisition Bill and One Rank One Pension issue.

Blamed by Anna Hazare for the poor turnout at a rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on Wednesday, his aide Santosh Bharti today hit back, saying it only proved that "they can't pull in the crowds."

Wearing his trademark white cap, Arvind Kejriwal was sworn in today as Delhi's chief minister, as an estimated one lakh people cheered for him at Ramlila Maidan, a massive public park in the heart of the city.

Arvind Kejriwal will be sworn in as Delhi's new Chief Minister at noon on Saturday in the capital's sprawling Ramlila Maidan, from where he launched a massive campaign in 2011 along with his mentor Anna Hazare for a Lokpal or an anti-corruption ombudsman. Six newly elected members of Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will also take oath as minist...

Anna Hazare will not be at the Ramlila Maidan when Arvind Kejriwal is sworn in chief minister of Delhi.

He could not pull the numbers he had in his August protest in Delhi, but Anna Hazare's speech did not seem to hold any misgivings as he thanked the people for giving him energy and warned the government that if a strong and effective Lokpal Bill was not made law, he would campaign against it in five election-bound states.

Team Anna's protest here against a "weak" Lokpal Bill today elicited a lukewarm response with supporters blaming the winter chill and absence of Anna Hazare for the low turnout at Ramlila Maidan.

Anna Hazare has been given permission by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to stage protest at the Ramlila Maidan from December 27. Mr Hazare had earlier announced that he will launch the agitation again at the end of the Winter Session of Parliament if a strong Lokpal Bill is not passed.

Team Anna has apologised to all those politicians who were booed at the Ramlila Maidan during Anna Hazare's historic fast demanding the Jan Lokpal Bill.

Even before the build-up at Ramlila Maidan, the India Against Corruption (IAC) team was at Malhar - the annual college festival of Mumbai's St Xavier's College. Its aim was to get students to join Anna's movement.

Ramlia Maidan has undergone a sea change. The fervour is missing, so is the spirit. Well maybe not the latter, but it is a huge transformation nevertheless. A day after Anna Hazare concluded his hunger strike on the lokpal issue, MiD DAY found a group of men consuming liquor on the same bed at Ramlila Maidan which Anna was using for resting purpose...

Anna Hazare's close aide Kiran Bedi and actor Om Puri face privilege motions for mocking at and passing caustic comments against lawmakers. The notices were filed in both houses of parliament Monday even as Om Puri apologised for calling MPs "anpadh" (uneducated) and "nalayak" (incompetent) at the Ramlila Maidan during Hazare's fast last week.
