Veteran social crusader Anna Hazare will launch an 18 month nationwide tour for a citizens’ movement against corruption from January 2013, an aide said here Thursday.
‘It was originally scheduled to kick off from Diwali. However, on account of Hazare’s cataract operation last week, it had to be postponed by a couple of months,’ the aide, declining to be identified, said.
The rescheduled tour will be taken up from Patna’s Gandhi Maidan as planned from January. The exact date will be announced later.
In the next couple of days, Hazare, 75, is expected to meet his core advisers and experts to review and react on former associate Arvind Kejriwal’s charges against Bharatiya Janata Party chief Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday.
