Team Anna Elections

Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare greeted Arvind Kejriwal today, and said he is proud that one of his volunteers has become the Chief Minister of Delhi.

A rare BJP leader with no RSS link, Kiran Bedi, the party's Chief Ministerial nominee for Delhi, today described the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as "very nationalistic", that has kept India united.

Former IPS officer and Team Anna member Kiran Bedi today declared that she will be happy to join ranks with Narendra Modi and strengthen the country.

A day after dropping hints of joining politics, former IPS officer and Team Anna member Kiran Bedi today said she was ready to become the BJP's Chief Ministerial nominee in Delhi if such an offer was made to her.

Former IPS officer and Team Anna member Kiran Bedi, who has been heaping praise on Narendra Modi in the past couple of months, today hinted at joining politics.

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.

Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is making the final changes to its version of the anti-corruption Lokpal Bill, which will create an ombudsman or Lokayukta for the state of Delhi to investigate venality among elected representatives and bureaucrats. Two-and-a-half years ago Mr Kejriwal, now the Delhi Chief Minister, had teamed up with Gandhi...

Former Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde says a political party floated purely on the anti-corruption plank will not succeed in elections at this stage as money power and diversity play a role. Hegde, a former Karnataka Lokayukta, who has distanced himself from erstwhile Team Anna's decision to start a political party, said cultural, linguistic a...

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.

Before taking the plunge in 2014 general elections, the erstwhile Team Anna is likely to test political waters first in next year's Delhi Assembly polls while giving a miss to elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat.

Minutes before Team Anna ended its hunger strike on stage at the Jantar Mantar venue of their protest, they announced that they are forming a political party, which will contest the elections, with an aim to take their anti-corruption struggle to Parliament.

They've gone out of their way to say they're not interested in entering politics but now it appears that Team Anna might just take that plunge. Sources suggest that the team is considering fielding candidates for the assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh slated in October this year.

Five days to go for the first phase of polling and all the action is in Uttar Pradesh. The Congress' Didi, aka Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and the BSP's Behenji, aka Mayawati, are the top-billed campaigners out in the field today wooing voters. And Team Anna has jumped in, as promised, to try and undo the best efforts of sundry political parties.

Team Anna members began their Uttar Pradesh tour on Thursday with a fervent appeal to voters to understand the strength of their franchise and cast their ballots in favour of honest and responsible candidates. Manoj Sisodiya and Kiran Bedi while talking to people at the Shakitdham Mahadev in Fatehpur area here said leaders coming to them for seekin...

Should the voters in India have the right to reject all candidates in an election? It's a debate started by Team Anna and now their proposal has been endorsed by the man in charge of holding elections in the country.
