Anna Hazare ends fast after meeting with Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis


New Delhi, Mar 29 (Agencies): Social reformer Anna Hazare, who had been staging a sit-in in New Delhi to demand the appointment of Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayuktas in states and better prices to farmers for their yield, ended his fast on Thursday after holding talks with Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union minister of state for agriculture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.

On Tuesday, Hazare, who was on indefinite hunger strike since March 23, told reporters that the action plan may be submitted on Wednesday.

"A minister had met me yesterday (Monday) and had said he would be back tomorrow (Tuesday). However, I have been told by the government that the discussion on our demands was still underway at the PMO (Prime Minister's Office). They need more time. If it takes more time, the government will come to us tomorrow (Wednesday)," he said.

Hazare had asked the government to provide with details of how the execution would happen along with a timeline.

On Monday, the Centre reached out to Hazare, with its emissary and Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajana, assuring the social-activist that most of his "demands will be taken care of".

Hazare's demands include the appointment of Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayuktas in states and giving better prices to farmers for their yield.

Mahajan, who is minister for Water Resources and Medical Education in the state, had said that out of the 11 main demands put forth by Hazare, nearly 7-8 have been agreed upon.

He had also said that a written proposal will be given to Hazare.

    Web forums were not there during Satyagrahas of Gandhi. He was Lucky in that sense. May we expect anyone commented here is ready to spare a day for hunger strike with Hazare or without him ?

    Gandhi took those bold steps to meet his dream. Hazare may also have such dreams but modern facilities like Internet, Fake News channels make only fun out of him than supporting his real cause.

    Gandhi was able to see his dream (Independent India) in his life time. He has no more energy remained with him to avoid the split of India (India has enough people now who has a different stand that Gandhi only supported the split. Absurd Idea).

    Many countries who started agitating against colonization by violent means were not able to succeed earlier than Gandhi. Gandhi found it was the only means to attain freedom.

    Among other Hazare's demands, one of his demand of more supportive price for agricultural products may not succeed. It is not the supportive price required, but we have to save farmers from Middlemen. Whatever more price you announce, it is of no use. It will again help the middlemen. Hazare should note the necessity - How to focus the migrating youth to Agriculture ?
    What hell the city is growing for the people to eat ?

    There are miles and miles to go.....

    Looks like Anna is more relieved this time. He realized there is no sympathies for him this time around. End of the day he had to summon the bosses to help him out to get out of the nightmare he created for himself.

    There comes the help in the name of BJP Fadnavis. hehe

    Poor fellow must have been very hungry because of fasting. No one was even bothered about him because his previous fasts have resulted into corrupt followers who entered politics and showed their true colours.
    We need revolution and not fasting. Create a strong army of people who can counter the politicians and corrupt officials. People will support. Fasting would have been ok earlier during Gandhi's time. Now the time has changed.
