Social activist Anna Hazare dashed off another letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reminding him of his unfulfilled poll promises and said there is “no visible difference” between his government and the previous Congress-led UPA regime.
Wishing Mr Modi for the New Year, the 78-year-old anti-graft crusader in his three-page letter took a swipe at the PM, saying he may have forgotten the things that he had promised during the 2014 Lok Sabha campaign like bringing back black money and building a corruption-free India. The letter was released to the media on Friday.
Reminding Mr Modi of the need to implement the Lokpal and Lokayukta properly and fulfil other key poll promises, Mr Hazare said that several letters written by him earlier on these subjects to the PM had been ignored. “I am writing again to remind you of these things. I am aware that several letters written by me to you have been dumped in the waste paper basket. This letter may also meet the same fate,” Mr Hazare said.
“I don’t expect a PM to respond to each and every letter written to him as it is not possible. However, there should be reply to the letter by a social activist who has dedicated his life to the nation,” Mr Hazare said.
