New Delhi : His five-day fast for a strong anti-graft law drew groundswell support across the country, but social reformer Anna Hazare feels that if he contested an election, he will lose his security deposit.
“If I stand for election, I will lose my security deposit,” Anna Hazare said jest-fully answering a question at a press conference here Sunday.
“(People) Take Rs.100 and vote, take bottle of wine to vote, an election costs Rs.6-7 crore,” he said.
Anna Hazare stressed that electoral reforms can rectify this situation.
“Give the option of dislike, if all candidates are bad, then voters will not vote for anyone,” he said.
