"Governments, be at the Centre or in states, are afraid of losing power. They know that people can bring them down. The people must realise that they are the real masters. I will make people aware of their rights," Hazare told a gathering here.
Unless people exercised their power and kept the government under pressure, those in power would not pass any law which could wipe out corruption from the country, the Gandhian said, adding he planned a nationwide tour to make public aware of it.
"Recently Congress president Sonia Gandhi asked her partymen to hit the streets on coal scam. Similarly, the BJP leadership also directed its rank and file to oppose LPG case and FDI. I am doing this for passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill," Hazare said.
Alleging that the Prime Minister betrayed him on Jan Lokpal Bill, Hazare said "Panch Pradhan (PM) assured me in writing that three fundamental issues as drafted by us would be part of the Bill. They even passed a resolution in Parliament. But, they brought a diluted version of the Bill." MORE
