Anna disbands team, members clueless
7 Aug 2012 8:27 AM IST
The anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare disbanded Team Anna on Monday. Making this announcement on his blog, Hazare said that the team was formed to lead the agitation for the passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill and since this is no more the sole agenda, the team was being dissolved.
Hazare's sudden announcement left the team members bewildered. They tried to argue that Hazare had tried to smoothen things for the road ahead, but the disappointment in their tone said it all. 'Annaji has written everything in the blog. There is nothing to add. For more information regarding the decision only Anna can talk,' Manish Sisodia, a core member of the team, told Millennium Post. Earlier, his colleague Kiran Bedi had tweeted, 'Read Anna's blog. Do not know what all it means? For we all had very useful preparatory meeting with Annaji wherein he gave useful guidance!'
It is believed that the decision to give political alternative has not gone down well with Hazare and he is not very keen on his name being used with a political party born out of the anti-corruption movement.
Sources say that the team members had no idea that such a crucial announcement was coming. There has been dissent within the team itself over the decision of taking political plunge. Sources said that many of the members did not endorse this decision and since the announcement, many volunteers have expressed their unhappiness.
