Anna Hazare Election Campaign

After controversy over another cartoon for the Delhi elections, days after the BJP said it would focus on a "positive campaign only," the party today said accused the Aam Aadmi Party of giving "casteist meaning" to a metaphor.

The BJP - which has drafted a new, aggressive strategy for the last lap in the Delhi elections - says it will take on what it calls Arvind Kejriwal's "negativism" with a positive campaign only.

Top BJP leaders are reportedly upset over a campaign advertisement published in newspapers yesterday which mocked Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal for taking the support of the Congress to form government after the last election in December, 2013.

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief of the Aam Aadmi Party, tweeted today that the BJP should apologise for "killing Anna" in a campaign ad.

A day after being stood up by Anna Hazare at what was meant to be the launch of her national campaign, Mamata Banerjee today pronounced that her Trinamool Congress would emerge the third largest party in next month's general election.

Anna Hazare and Mamata Banerjee sat next to each other, both dressed in the simple white cottons they prefer, as the Gandhian activist explained why he has chosen to end his ban on support to political parties to campaign for her.

Gandhian activist Anna Hazare and Mamata Banerjee had a dinner meeting and shared warm vibes on Tuesday ahead of what is widely expected to be an announcement on his role in her campaign for the national election, due by May.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to meet activist Anna Hazare in New Delhi today to finalise how the 76-year-old Gandhian will contribute to her party, the Trinamool Congress' campaign for the Lok Sabha elections.

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...

Arvind Kejriwal today defended himself vehemently against allegations of misusing crores collected for the anti-corruption campaign fronted by Anna Hazare, as videos released to TV channels revealed his former mentor's suspicion that the money had been diverted towards the election expenses of Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

The videos - allegedly shot in December by Anna's supporters - compound a damaging week for Mr Kejriwal who has been clocking long hours campaigning for the Delhi elections, scheduled for December 4.

Anna Hazare, the 76-year-old activist who fronted a campaign against corruption, today said that his former protege, Arvind Kejriwal, "is not an enemy."

Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal today denied that financial donations to 2011's massive anti-corruption campaign fronted by Anna Hazare have been spent by his party on its campaign for the Delhi election.

Amid "confusion" on how to take the movement forward, Team Anna's Core Committee met here today sans ailing Anna Hazare to decide on their future strategy. This is the first meeting of the Team after Hazare called off his agitation programmes for a strong Lokpal last month. Arvind Kejriwal, Prashant Bhushan, Kiran Bedi and other members attended th...
