As news trickles in that Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal have decided to end the fast at Jantar Mantar.I am glad they took a sensible decision. Mr Kejriwal you deserve a salute.
The question of forming a political party. In one hand I am glad that IAC has decided to become a part of the system and reform it from inside rather than acting as a pressure group. But the same thought scares me. Because being in politics is pretty tough and given the political machinery and vote banks which the political parties rely on have been created over the last 60 years. And the major thing going against the political party is the apathy in voting by the educated people. In the big cities hardly 40% people vote while in rural areas money power ensures 70% turnout easily.
But its time to set aside all the cynicism and I hope IAC really makes a difference.
