"The government should bring in a strong Lokpal bill, but I don't think any government will want to bring a strong Lokpal bill. The government does not have the intent", Hegde told reporters as he joined in the protest by Karnataka Chapter of India Against Corruption at the Freedom Park here.

He expressed happiness that Anna Hazare and yoga guru Ramdev had come together over the issue of corruption.

Anna and Ramdev began their day-long fast in the national capital, their first joint appearance on a public platform in the past one year, against the UPA on corruption.

The one-day fast is to demand bringing back black money stashed abroad and against corruption and corrupt system.
