Congress Vs Anna

The ongoing tussle between the Congress government in Karnataka and the Centre over the release of rice for the state's much-publicised 'Anna Bhagya' scheme marks the beginning of a series of political and administrative confrontations.

Supporters of anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare stormed into a restaurant in Patna today where Congress minister Jyotiradtiya Scindia was holding a press conference.

With less than 48 hours to go before the Lokpal debate starts in Parliament, the gloves are off between Team Anna and the Congress. Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh today launched yet another attack on the anti-corruption crusader over his alleged links to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

As social activist Anna Hazare waits for the government to meet his demand for the passage of the Jan Lokpal bill in the Winter Session of Parliament, he is also working towards spreading awareness in the country on the proposed legislation that will arm an ombudsman with extensive powers to check corruption.

Digvijaya Singh has stirred another controversy, this time again for his remarks on anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare. The senior Congress leader has said he has "heard that BJP has told Anna Hazare that he could be the all-party candidate for the 2012 President's election."

Upset with the "attitude of the Congress" in Parliament which was paralysed over the detention of Anna Hazare, a united Opposition has asked for Anna to be fr4eed right away. Opposition leaders would meet today to decide their course of action, including a proposal to boycott proceedings for three days.
