Anna Hazare got a massive response to his demand for the Jan Lokpal bill as everybody was vexed with the scourge of corruption that was eating into the vitals of the nation. But his sudden shifting of the goalpost from being an avowed apolitical messiah fighting against corruption to someone asking the people not to vote the Congress (which can be construed as hinting the voters to support the main opposition party BJP) is shocking. The voters are mature enough to teach the Congress a lesson if it continues to delay the popular demand for a strong Lokpal bill. Anna would do well if he continues to build pressure on the UPA government by his fasts and dharnas, instead of donning the robe of a political guru.
