Congress And Team Anna

Three locations in the capital - the RSS office, Gujarat Bhawan where prime minster to be Narendra Modi is and party chief Rajnath Singh's residence - have been buzzing all day as the BJP finalises the contours of Team Modi at the Centre.

Alleging that Congress and BJP were hand-in-glove on the coal block allocation issue, erstwhile Team Anna has announced gherao of the residences of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and BJP chief Nitin Gadkari on Sunday.

Former Karnataka Lokayukta N Santosh Hegde, who was closely associated with now disbanded Team Anna, feels yoga guru Baba Ramdev's agitation on black money and graft issues may re-energise the anti-corruption movement. He also believed it could cause electoral damage to the Congress.

RTI activist and Team Anna member Akhil Gogoi was attacked yesterday and critically injured by suspected youth Congress activists in Assam's Nalbari district. One person has now been arrested.

Team Anna has now targeted Congress Presidential candidate Pranab Mukherjee and demanded an independent inquiry into allegations they had made against him and 14 other ministers made by it last month. Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal demanded an investigation before the presidential polls begin on July 19.

After his meeting with BJP president Nitin Gadkari, yoga icon Baba Ramdev on Tuesday took his campaign against black money and corruption to a key member of the UPA coalition, Sharad Pawar.

Rejecting Congress president Sonia Gandhi's defence of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, social activist Anna Hazare today said suspected whether Singh is clean after going through CAG report on coal allocation and the file prepared by his team.

The Prime Minister took on Team Anna again on Monday with a second round of strong remarks against the activists and their allegations of corruption against him and 14 of his senior ministers. "Canards and falsehoods being spread" he said, describing the people behind the allegations as "disparate, desperate elements unified only by their oppositio...

The Congress' highest decision-making body, its Working Committee (CWC) is meeting today to discuss the economic and political crises that the UPA government finds itself mired in. Here are the highlights of what Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the meeting:

In her address to the Congress party's highest decision-making body, its Working Committee (CWC), Mrs Gandhi took on Team Anna, which has recently and aggressively targeted the Prime Minister for allegedly allowing a massive swindle in the allocation of coal fields to private companies. She said the attack on the Prime Minister and the government i...

The Congress today made light of the proposed fast by Ramdev and Anna Hazare on Sunday and accused them of "vitiating" the atmosphere by putting out "half baked, out of reference stories".

Just days after accusing 15 top ministers including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of corruption, Team Anna has hit out again, this time targeting the PM directly. Team Anna's legal brain Prashant Bhushan has said that the PM is weak and is being used as a shield by the Congress to hide corrupt dealings.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demanded that today's Question Hour be suspended for a discussion on the Lokpal Bill in the Rajya Sabha. And Team Anna is once again keeping a close eye on the proceedings in Parliament. However, they are not too hopeful. Anna Hazare believes that the government has no intention of passing a strong Lokpal Bill a...

Team Anna stepped up its attack on Congress ahead of the final phase of polling in Uttar Pradesh targeting Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in particular. Speaking at a public meeting, Team Anna member Manish Sisodia said that while Sonia Gandhi abuses Mayawati and Mulayam Singh Yadav in UP, she praises them in Delhi.
