For the Centre’s crisis managers who have been writing off Anna Hazare’s anti-graft movement as an uprising of the city-bred middle-class, here’s refreshing news: rural India is standing by the corruption crusader and is ready to die for him.
A 32-year-old farmer, who has been fasting for seven days along with Anna, has shown the grit to travel barefoot from Anna’s village all the way to Mumbai, with a cart in tow.
Vijay Balaso Jadhav, of Sangli district, started from Ralegan Siddhi on August 17 and reached the city on Sunday evening. He has covered a distance of around 400 km to express solidarity with the 74-year-old Gandhian.
