Mumbai - In a sudden climb down, Anna Hazare today made a surprise
announcement of calling off his campaign to fill jails from Friday
and ended his fast.

No reasons were given by the 74-year-old activist for the abrupt
decisions but apparently it was the poor public response to the
three-day fast which he had began here yesterday and to have a
parallel fast by his team in Delhi that weighed heavily on his mind.

He was also unwell and was earlier urged by his doctors to give up
the fast.

A girl from Ralegan Siddhi, Hazare's village, gave the activist a
glass of juice to break the fast. Hazare offered juice to his team
members Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Mayank Gandhi.

Curtains came down suddenly on the fast with the activist, who showed
up on stage for the first time since yesterday, making the
announcement about calling it off.

He also announced indefinite suspension of the 'Jail Bharo' agitation
planned for three days after the scheduled conclusion of his fast
tomorrow.

His close aide Kejriwal said the fast was being called off keeping in
mind the deteriorating health of Hazare and the way the "weak" Lokpal
Bill was "bulldozed" through the Lok Sabha.

"...Whatever we are seeing today in Parliament is tragic. So I have
decided to call off the fast today. There is only one way now. We
will make a programme in the five states and go and awaken people
there. I will tell them don't vote for traitors," Hazare told a
sparsely attended protest meeting in the afternoon.

Replying to a question by a reporter on poor turn out, Hazare said,"I
have no power, no money, yet people come. You will see at the time of
elections how people rise to the occasion."

He said an atmosphere had been created in the entire country in
favour of the proposed fill-the-jail campaign "but I am told Lokpal
Bill has not been tabled in Rajya Sabha. What will happen there we
don't know. So, the time for it (jail bharo) has not come."

Fielding a volley of uncomfortable questions by media which wanted to
know why he and his team were making a villain of Congress and
targeting Sonia and Rahul Gandhi when several other parties too had
not supported his version of Lokpal Bill, Hazare said, "Congress have
destroyed the nation."

After his announcement that he and his team will campaign against
Congress in the five poll-bound states early next year and later in
the general elections, he was asked whether Congress was sought to be
made a villain and whether the strategy adopted by them was not
wrong.

Hazare said they had no reasons to oppose other parties.

Hazare said he had no reason to campaign against any other party,
despite a questioner pointing out that given the Congress' strength
in Uttar Pradesh his drive against it would hardly alter its
electoral fortunes there.

Defending Team Anna's anti-Congress stand, Kejriwal said, "Can BSP
and SP pass a strong Lokpal bill if they want to? Congress can. If it
can get a weak Lokpal Bill passed...If it can get a nuclear bill
passed, it can also get a strong Bill passed. The responsibility is
of the ruling party."

Hazare said, "In the last five months, it was the UPA government that
has betrayed us. They were betraying us again and again in the past
one year."

One reporter asked whether he will campaign against BJP which
betrayed the Hazare campaign in Lok Sabha yesterday and whether Team
Anna was not following a wrong strategy, Hazare said, "Congress has
cheated them the maximum."

After this question, Hazare abruptly quit the dais, leaving Kejriwal
and Manish Sisodia to field searching questions from the media which
was heckled by the crowds that had gathered there.

Asked about the future course of action, Kejriwal said "We will build
up pressure on the government to make subsequent amendments to the
Lokpal Act if the bill passed in Lok Sabha is also passed by the
Rajya Sabha and is made into a law. We will intensify our agitation."

In the backdrop of accusations of Team Anna's proximity to RSS and
BJP, when it was asked if they would have taken a similar stance if
the saffron party was in power, Kejriwal replied  with an emphatic
"yes".

"We have nothing to do with any party. Digvijay Singh levels such
unfounded allegations but never gives any evidence," he said.

Chavan welcomes Hazare's decision to call off fast

Welcoming Anna Hazare's decision to end his three-day fast ahead of
schedule, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan today said the
social activist shouldn't have gone ahead with his protest when
Parliament was set to debate the Lokpal Bill.

"He (Hazare) shouldn't have gone ahead with the fast as the debate
was going on in Parliament on the Lokpal Bill. The government was
trying to meet his demand that the Bill be passed in the winter
session of Parliament," he told reporters on the sidelines of a
function here.

The chief minister hailed as "a good decision" the 74-year-old
Gandhian's move to end his fast, which he started yesterday to
protest a "weak" anti-corruption legislation brought by the
government.

Chavan congratulated Hazare, who is not keeping well, for calling off
his fast and said if the veteran activist or his supporters wanted to
get engaged in politics, they should contest elections.

"I had requested him to withdraw his fast yesterday as there were
concerns about his health. I had told him that all of his demands
could not be accepted. Parliament is the supreme institution, which
represents the people of the country. The law enacted by Parliament
should be accepted," Chavan said.

Exactly as I had predicted would happen when there was
a great euphoria on Anna'e entry into the corruption battle.
People held their hopes high.

Time is on the side of the rulers. By delaying and stalling
they let the euphoria boil over, then they introduced their
own bill which is nothing but a caricature of what Anna
had in mind, and got away with it. After all, how many times
and old ailing man can deprive himself of food, like the
original Gandhi used to, mainly to blackmail his Hindu
flock.Anna is not that well known, and well, the Gandhian
methods that had more hot gas than people suspected
nobody gives a hoot for.

Wait for the worm to turn

It's easy to scoff at Anna Hazare and his campaign against
corruption. But a day shall come when politicians and babus will have
to mend their ways.

Insouciance is a kind of uncaring nonchalance born of smugness. There
is a suggestion of wilful idleness about it, a sense of entitlement,
and an assumption that one can get away with not delivering on one's
promises. And even some twisted thinking that suggests that doing
what one says dangerously raises expectations. And should these be
met, it only fuels even higher, unreasonable and unwarranted
aspirations amongst essentially undeserving, ignorant people, best
not encouraged above their station in life.

Therefore, it is implicitly better to drown such ambition at birth
using ruthless subversion. Of course, you will never catch a
politician or factotum saying any of this out loud. On the contrary,
the average neta or bureaucratic burra sahib will feign horrified
protest against such calumny being heaped on his ilk. This is all the
more remarkable because in a democracy which presumes to promote
equality of opportunity, it is a patrician/feudal attitude, papered
over with egalitarian and pro-people rhetoric. This is all the more
ironic because in recent times, many elected representatives do not
exactly come from a background of privilege.

But the fact is, our common or garden politician and 'steel frame'
bureaucrat fits the bill for both insouciance writ large, and
nonchalance too, though the latter term has a Dev Anandish charm
about it, found, in this context, to be missing in action. The lesser
accompaniments to these exalted personages, including all manner of
secretaries, clerks, 'officers' and agents at large, are not so
humble that they are incapable of aping their masters.

So, for the supplicating public to be nearly squashed under this
mountain of hubris is a very natural thing. That it makes them
somewhat angry and full of the malice of schadenfreude, that peculiar
but oh so real German notion of deriving pleasure at another's
misfortune, is hence not surprising. Particularly since now, you have
this former Army driver in a Gandhi cap and whites, in possession of
a very effective wagging finger, who has lit a fire under all this
insulation from reality.

Here was the standard issue politician, State, Central, in meaner
municipal/local Government, or even quango setting, comfortable in
the belief that he had to only think about his voter near about an
election, and not at all otherwise, sanctimoniousness apart.
Suddenly, the social activist from Ralegan Siddhi, an obscure
backwater in usually placid rural Maharashtra, is jumping all over
one's mindspace. Anna Hazare is not only able to capture the media's
attention, but quite a bit of the popular imagination as well with
his relentless Government-bashing. People love an underdog going to
war and understand one that talks in comfortable sound bytes.

That Mr Hazare is simplistic is the true delight of the masses, if
truth be told. People are sick of being bamboozled and patronised by
insincere men and women -- some elected to public office, some in
unsackable Government jobs, and yet others in political parties and
committees -- who wield enormous power without being accountable to
very many, let alone the public.

And this challenge to the comfortable politician and bureaucrat has
been mounted at a time when the ruling classes are seen to have
mismanaged both the economy and the political landscape. And brought
it down to the point where not only is there policy formulation and
implementation paralysis, but also a rapidly developing dire straits
in terms of its rapidly depleting coffers.

The Government has choked the economy in the pursuit of lower
inflation to the point where it is almost broke itself. Both direct
and indirect taxes have fallen, and the need to borrow to bridge ever
widening deficits has grown. Though you wouldn't necessarily realise
it if you looked at the ever expanding subsidy raj we cannot afford
being thrust upon mute future generations.

Of course, the Government of India routinely tends to see the light
only when it reaches the end of its dark, dank tunnel. It is always a
rock bottom moment that brings substantive change to us, in a
paradoxical, Through the Looking Glass manner. So expect a cut in
interest rates and stimulation of growth afresh in 2012. Looking back
at 1991, then Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao was able to jettison
Nehruvian Socialism once and for all only because we had come
perilously close to bankruptcy. And most 'reform' of our system since
has also been with a gun to our heads. We cannot arrive at a
political consensus on any improvement without this coercive aspect,
and perhaps it won't be long before future governance learns how to
stage a crisis for the purpose.

But as long as the taps of cheaper credit are turned back on, the
reportedly  Rs 150,000 crore worth of Non-Performing-Assets,
consisting of loans to stalled power sector companies and moribund
infrastructure builders, can all be revived. And quick to forgive
Indian industry can put the folly of monetary Stalinism behind
itself. Once again, politicians and bureaucrats will be saved from
the consequences of their sins. If you're a mere member of the
public, all you have to do is wait for it, and survive long enough to
see the worm turn.

Yet, with a report card hovering between failed grades and the
bottom-most rungs of scraping through, there is no real mea culpa.
Instead, there is a pointing of fingers at civil society abrogating
to itself the functions of our elected representatives. As if it is
being done without provocation or cause by a group of misguided and
subversive individuals naïve about the functioning and needs of
governance. Let's face it, there might have been no Jayaprakash
Narayan in his time, launching the political careers of many at the
bottom of the pyramid then, or Anna Hazare now, gaining traction with
the Twitter and Facebook generation many decades his junior, without
some due cause.

Of course, as the Lokpal debate proceeds, it becomes more and more
difficult to fathom how the wondrous creature is going to function,
and be effective, even if, and after, a 'strong' Bill is enacted into
law. A polity free of corruption in the Indian context sounds truly
fabulous and unreal. A desire to make such a thing come about is no
doubt laudable. And like the activism of civil society amplified by
media coverage, it is likely to tone up the functioning of not only
Government but the Opposition too, not just at the Centre but also in
the States.

As for the economy, even bad cooks cannot totally wreck the effect of
good ingredients, despite a chronic laparwahi insouciance.

A humiliating defeat

Rahul Gandhi's game-changer comes a cropper

The Congress thought it would steal the thunder from Anna Hazare's
campaign and thus present itself as the real crusader against
corruption -- a laughable proposition in view of the fact that the
party is the progenitor of corrupt practices in this country --
through a hocus-pocus Lokpal Bill. In order to be seen as doing one
better than those demanding a strong and independent anti-corruption
ombudsman, the Congress got its general secretary and the scion of
the party's first family, Mr Rahul Gandhi, to 'demand' that the
institution of the Lokpal should be given the status of a
constitutional body. That was supposed to be the 'game-changer', the
master-stroke with which the Congress would stump its critics and
political foes. In the event, after Tuesday's debate and voting on
the Lokpal Bill in the Lok Sabha, the Congress has ended up looking
not only utterly silly and incompetent but also has egg on its face.
The Government may have succeeded in using its numerical strength to
get the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Bill through the House without
bothering about the fundamental flaws in the proposed law, but it
failed to secure the required two-thirds majority to push through the
accompanying Constitution amendment Bill. In other words, the
Opposition, led by the BJP, successfully outmanoeuvred the Government
and poured cold water on Mr Gandhi's dream, turning his much-
publicised 'game-changer' into a game-breaker. Understandably, the
Congress is unhappy and the party president, Ms Sonia Gandhi, is
incandescent with rage; it's not often, if ever at all, that Mr
Gandhi has been slighted in so rude a manner. Expectedly,  instead of
gracefully accepting defeat on the floor of the house, Ms Gandhi and
those mindful of the need to keep the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty in good
humour have begun to vent their spleen on the BJP.

There is, however, no cause for holding the BJP (or the entire
Opposition) responsible for Tuesday's humiliating defeat suffered by
the Government. As Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma
Swaraj has pointed out, it is not the BJP's responsibility to fulfil
Mr Gandhi's 'dream' of giving constitutional status to the Lokpal or
make his 'game-changer' come true. It was for the Congress and its
allies to stand by Mr Gandhi but they failed to do so. The Congress
would do well to look within for reasons as to why its grand scheme
of peddling a weak Bill as a strong step towards fighting corruption
has come a cropper. The party clearly doesn't want an effective
Lokpal; what it wants is a tame institution which it can use as an
instrument to further its political interests. Hence the sudden, and
entirely uncalled for, introduction of a minority quota: In the short
term, the Congress hoped to use it for mobilising Muslim votes in
Uttar Pradesh where Assembly election is due in February next year;
in the long-term, it planned to use the cover of constitutional
status for Lokpal to subvert other constitutional bodies with a
similar quota. That gameplan now lies in tatters. The disingenuous
move which was packaged as Mr Gandhi's 'game-changer' has been
scuttled by the Opposition, namely the BJP, with the Constitution
amendment Bill being defeated in the Lok Sabha. The Congress may have
lost the game, but India has won a reprieve from the party's
relentless assault on the nation's identity and the very foundation
of our secular Republic. For this alone the Opposition deserves to be
commended. If Tuesday's defeat has fractured the smug certitudes of
certain individuals, that should be cause to celebrate.
