Queried whether he considered BJP a corrupt party, Anna Hazare evaded direct reply and said, "why should I say, you people know." On Congress' allegation that the civil society was undermining democracy, he said the civil society has become the masters of the country when it turned republic.

Emphasising that the government has to listen to people's opinion, he said there was nothing wrong in civil society highlighting issues as the government is a representative of the citizens and are answerable.

"We do not deny that Parliament is a big institution. But Parliament is not in Delhi alone. Have a look at the Constitution. The village parliament is bigger than the Parliament in Delhi. Nobody thinks about it. Who has send them to Parliament?" he said.

Hazare also said there is so much corruption. "People in the government act like kings. Thats why people should reflect on Congress leader Digvijay Singh said about bringing Prime Minister under the ambit of the Lokpal Bill. It is noy just Anna Hazare''s question," he said.

Asked why they were not pulling out the drafting commitee as there was so much of mistrust, Kejriwal said they have to work with this. "At least, we can put on record our dissent note," he said.
