Good days only for industrialists: Anna Hazare
18 Feb 2015 11:16 PM GMT
Ahead of his protests in Jantar Mantar against the Land Acquisition ordinance, social activist Anna Hazare on Tuesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "thinking" about industrialists but not farmers and the poor.
Taking a swipe at Modi, Hazare said "achchhe din (good days)", which was a campaign theme of BJP during Lok Sabha elections, has come "only for industrialists" since he assumed office and claimed India's future would not be bright by following these policies.
Hazare, whose anti-corruption movement had sparked off massive protests during the previous UPA regime, also praised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and hoped his former protege will implement some of the plans he has for making the capital a "model city".
"Modi ji thinks about the welfare of industrialists not about the poor or farmers. It seemed after he came to power that 'achchhe din' will come but they have come only for industrialists," he told a news channel on Tuesday, adding his popularity has come down.
