Grand happenings of September

complete collection of past month's grand and related events

SEPT's report (20 Sept-1 OCT ):

• Anna on Sept 20 officially spited from Khejrival and team (who want political alternative) . He opposed the decision of the Kejriwal-led group to form a political party.and barred them from using his name or photograph anymore.

• In short Team Anna spited into Team Khejrival (consisting Khejrival and Manish Sisodia as prominent members)  and Group Anna(Anna ,Santosh Hegde and Bedi as prominent members).
  
• Anna later clarified that both the political and unpolitical ways leads to the common goal of lokpal , hence both the ways are correct, yet he chooses the non-political.
  "There is nothing wrong with fielding a political party but I will not be a part of it. It has my blessings and we will work towards the common goal of eradicating corruption. If they feel they can get a majority, it is a good thing, but they cannot use my photo or my name... The paths have been separated.” He said at the press conference.
  
• Anna later on 1st October after getting visited by Khejrival and Sisodia widened his philosophy saying that  “There are no differences between Arvind and me”. Anna clarifies that he is not with Khejrival because politics is not in his agenda at all. 
   “If politics was in my life then I should have started with panchayat elections. I have never contested and never will. But I have no objection to Arvind starting a party. If there are any doubtful candidates he puts up, I will point it out.”
  
• Anna further dismissed notions that he had earlier supported the formation of a political party. “I only suggested criteria for which we could choose political candidates to support”, he said.
• Anna also assured during conference that Kejriwal is not a selfish person. “From when I have known Arvind I have never seen him being selfish in any way. He only thinks about society”, he said.
• Anna didn't wanted Khejrival to use Anna's name and image for political promotion because he didn't wanted to be associated to politics  in any sense.

• Khejrival said “The important thing is that we are fighting for the same issue – we both want to end corruption. And there are many ways of doing this – Anna will agitate, I will clean up the political system and Prashant Bhushan takes things to court”,
• 
  
• September 20 was also controversial for Anna's secret meeting with Ramdev just after the split of the team on the same day.|However, since team was splited Anna was free to meet any one without informing the newly divided Team Khejrival, then how this meeting can be considered secret or cunning ?|
  
  Anna also said in this respect on October 1 announcing that Ramdev had told him that they ought to join forces and travel the country to educate people, and he had told the yoga guru that he would think about it. “If the objective of Ramdev’s agitation is clear then we will join him”. So no clear plan to join Ramdev as yet then."
  
  
• Conclusion:- In short Team Anna got split. Yet Both the sides i.e Team Arvind and Group Anna respect each other's route or manner of the movement ,so we should stop thinking that this split means Anna V/s Khejrival!. Both of them sorted out their differences and decided to pay external support to each other's movement.
  Anna 's plan with Ramdev are still not clear .
  

Editor's View: Its bad that team got split , but there is a bright side as well. The movement for lokpal is now open in both the political (by measn of Team Khejrival) and non-political ways(by means of group Anna).
