News X: From Aam Aadmi to Aam Aurat, Anna Hazare inching closer to Mamata Banerjee.
- 5 years ago
Mamata Banerjee could be Anna Hazare's "aam aurat" to counter "aam aadmi" Arvind Kejriwal ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
The social activist, who broke off with disciple Kejriwal, plans to project Mamata as "best suited" for the country's top post, sources close to Hazare said.
Hazare is likely to announce his intentions in his native village Ralegan Siddhi in Maharashtra soon, the sources said. Trinamul could also take the lead by releasing a letter from Hazare to Mamata and her "warm reply".
Hazare and his followers have been sulking ever since Kejriwal sought to ignore the man behind his success and were looking for a credible face to pitch against the ambitious Delhi chief minister.
The social activist had suggested that Kejriwal should focus on providing good governance in Delhi and not bare his "greed" by contesting the Lok Sabha elections.
Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, however, has decided to go all out and announced plans to contest more than 350 Lok Sabha seats.
Mamata was the only politician to reply to Hazare's letter to leaders of most parties. In May last year, Hazare wrote a letter to the chiefs of all political parties seeking their approval for a 17-point "pro-people economic policy".
A month ago, Mamata replied through her party colleague Mukul Roy in a very "warm tone", endorsing all the proposals made by Hazare. This set the ball rolling, leading to phone conversations and a few meetings, and the political strategy took shape.
