Hazare, who is touring Uttarakhand in the course of the second phase of his 'Jantantra Yatra' launched from Rishikesh on May 13, said at Chinyalisaur in the district that the rot runs deep into the system and it is time people realised that they hold the key to systemic change.
Asking them to use their right to vote wisely, he said they must elect people who they think can deliver and advised them not to run blindly after parties.
The anti-corruption crusader said he will fight for a Janlokpal in the manner he fought for RTI in Maharashtra for 10 years.
Hazare also invited people to come to Rudrapur on May 25 when the second phase of his Jantantra yatra is scheduled to conclude.
