Vote out corrupt politicians: Anna
2 April 2013 1:15 AM GMT
‘Corrupt’ politicians will never allow Lokpal Bill to be passed in Parliament, anti-graft activist Anna Hazare has said while urging people to elect representatives with clean image in next Lok Sabha polls.
‘Politicians are elected to serve the public but they take the role of robbers once they enter Parliament and state assemblies and rob people of their wealth,’ said Hazare, whose Janatantra Yatra reached Jalandhar last evening.
Appealing the public to vote for politicians with a clean image, who can serve the public rather than ‘rule them’, in the general elections due next year, the activist said, ‘163 members and 15 ministers are tainted in the present Parliament. It is for you to understand whether their priority will be to try to wash off their taint or serve you’.
