When Anna Hazare launched the anti corruption movement a few years back, he received overwhelming support from the country men. However, Anna Hazare's anti corruption movement lost it's steam after some time, as he associated all and sundry with the movement and all sorts of statements were made by his " lieutenants" like Kejriwal and Bedi , which were more political and venomous in tone.
It is unfortunate that it now appears that Anna Hazare is no more interested in his anti corruption movement and has chosen alternate reason to launch agitation.
Now, Anna Hazare is trying to reinvent himself by launching a movement in support of what he calls as the "anti farmer policies of Modi government." As in the past, all sorts of people who have a score to settle with Modi government are likely to jump into the band wagon , which Anna Hazare may well assume is due to genuine respect for his leadership. Obviously, he has not learnt any lessons taught to him by Kejriwal and Bedi.
Threat of agitation by Anna Hazare this time is unlikely to generate the type of support that he gained earlier, since the land acquisition issue is not similar to the anti corruption and Lokpal issue, which erodes the fibre and fabric of the Indian society. Things have not improved yet as far as the corruption conditions in the country are concerned and by not focussing on anti corruption movement anymore and switching over to agitation against land acquisition, Anna Hazare appears to be changing the horse midstream.
