Anna Hazare today accused the Centre of 'betrayal' and going back on its promise on Janlokpal Bill and said he will sit on an indefinite hunger strike here from tomorrow for passage of the anti-graft law in Parliament.
Hazare said one of the major reasons for the drubbing the Congress got in the just-concluded elections to four states
was its failure to get the Janlokpal Bill passed.
'Congress betrayed the people who responded appropriately,' he told reporters here.
Hazare said when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh can pledge to get the communal violence bill passed in Parliament, why
can't he do the same for the much-delayed anti-graft law.
Recalling his earlier hunger fast in Delhi, Hazare said, 'Sonia Gandhi wrote a letter saying that Government is ready
to bring Janlokpal Bill and said please end your fast. I trusted her and I ended my fast.'
'I didn't know that this UPA government will betray the public and me,' he said.
