Team Anna Political Party

A day after dropping hints of joining politics, former IPS officer and Team Anna member Kiran Bedi today said she was ready to become the BJP's Chief Ministerial nominee in Delhi if such an offer was made to her.

After severing ties with India Against Corruption (IAC) activist Arvind Kejriwal over the formation of a political party, veteran anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare decided today to recast his core team that was disbanded a month ago.

Affirming his views on not forming a political party, social activist Anna Hazare today said floating a political outfit by his associate Arvind Kejriwal would mean "taking a different path" to reach the same goal of corruption free India.

Following erstwhile Team Anna's dissolution, activist Anna Hazare today announced a new action plan, which includes appealing people to vote for the "right" candidates, instead of forming a political party.

Former Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde says a political party floated purely on the anti-corruption plank will not succeed in elections at this stage as money power and diversity play a role. Hegde, a former Karnataka Lokayukta, who has distanced himself from erstwhile Team Anna's decision to start a political party, said cultural, linguistic a...

Members of the recently-disbanded Team Anna met in Noida today, reportedly to chalk out their strategy before taking the political plunge. The meeting comes ahead of the first meeting of the preparatory committee next week for the launch of their political party.

Before taking the plunge in 2014 general elections, the erstwhile Team Anna is likely to test political waters first in next year's Delhi Assembly polls while giving a miss to elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat.

As he prepares to launch his indefinite protest from Thursday, yoga guru Baba Ramdev said he has no political agenda and refused to comment on erstwhile Team Anna's decision to take political plunge.

In a blog that appears to have bewildered his closest aides, activist Anna Hazare has said that Team Anna stands dissolved. Three days after aides like Arvind Kejriwal and Anna ended their latest hunger strike, 75-year-old Anna writes that "The time for fasts has ended. It is time to give people a political alternative." Sources say the announcemen...

As Team Anna gets set to take the political plunge, sources have told NDTV that the BJP and the Sangh Parivar may do a rethink on its own strategy. According to sources, the parties are worried that Team Anna, which has been championing the Lokpal Bill, may steal the anti-corruption plank from them.

Minutes before Team Anna ended its hunger strike on stage at the Jantar Mantar venue of their protest, they announced that they are forming a political party, which will contest the elections, with an aim to take their anti-corruption struggle to Parliament.

On the 10th day of his hunger strike, and just before he ended it, Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal looked frail and sat on a chair as he announced that the anti-corruption activists would float a political party and take their campaign to Parliament. To much applause from the crowds gathered at the Jantar Mantar venue of Anna Hazare's protest, Arv...

Throwing light on its proposed "political alternative", Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday that it would not be a party but an "andolan" or movement. "Our aim is not to grab power, but to end the Delhi-centric government and take governance to the villages and the people. Ours will not be a party, but a movement," Kejriwal told the tho...

Former Karnataka Lokayukta and Team Anna member Santosh Hegde said he does not support Anna Hazare and his team floating a political party, but would campaign for candidates who identify themselves with his movement against corruption.

Before ending its hunger fast in Delhi, the group of activists known as Team Anna announced that they are forming a political party which will contest the elections. Anna Hazare, 75, said he will not run for office, but will support his aides. "What do those in power know about corruption and the common man? They sit in air-conditioned offices all ...
