The Opposition is getting ready to corner the government on the contentious Lokpal Bill in the Rajya Sabha. But anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare seems to have no such plans this time.


Hazare said that there was no point raising their voices as the government wasn't listening. "Let them start the Budget session. We have been trying for the last one year for bringing a strong Jan Lokpal Bill, but they haven't been listening to us," Hazare said.
He said that the government didn't intend to bring a strong Jan Lokpal Bill. "Their intention is not of bringing a strong Jan Lokpal. We are now preparing for the 2014 General elections," Hazare said.
