New Delhi: Upping the ante on the Lokpal bill ahead of assembly polls in five states, Anna Hazare Sunday shot off a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asking him to “show courage” in passing stringent anti-corruption legislation to give the country something to remember him by.Team Anna also wrote separate missives to Bharatiya Janata Party president Nitin Gadkari, Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati and other leaders questioning their party’s stance on aspects of the legislation passed by the Lok Sabha last month.

Using sharp language in the letters to the prime minister and Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, Hazare described Home Minister P. Chidambaram as “corrupt” and wondered why the government wanted to keep Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) “in its grip.”

The 4-page letter to Manmohan Singh, only signed by Hazare, said he was not sure whether the Congress will give him another chance to become the prime minister and he should use this opportunity to push for a stringent anti-corruption law. (IANS)
