Ralegaon Siddhi: The Gandhian activist Anna Hazare will campaign for Trinamool Congress in Lok Sabha elections which are due by May of this year.
Anna Hazare also explained why he endorse Mamata Banerjee at his Ralegaon Siddhi village in Maharashtra.
Anna said, “She lives in a 10 by 12 room, wears hawai chappal. I want to say that after 66 years of Independence nobody has thought of changing the economic system, but Mamata Ji has thought about it.”
Hazare said former union minister Mukul Roy visited him as the emissary of Ms Banerjee, who is the chief minister of West Bengal. “Mamata ji said that if they come to power, they are willing to accept all my 17 points.”
Anna says he had sent 17 suggestions to every political party, which he believes will do the nation good if implemented. Only Ms Banerjee replied.
Meanwhile Anna had also said few days before in Delhi, “I have faith in her because she is a Chief Minister but still wears slippers. She did not take a government bungalow. She lives in her father’s small house. Her sari is simple, made of khadi. She walks for 8-10 kilometres every day visiting villages. Such people can improve the nation.”
Notify that Mamata Banerjee told a massive rally in Kolkata last month, “BJP is not the alternative to Congress. Congress is not the alternative to BJP. Trinamool is the only alternative in the country today.”
