Running political parties is not easy

Anna Hazare might have learnt some lessons from his indefinite fast anti-corruption campaigns in Mumbai and Delhi.

*Running campaigns costs money.
Who will donate?
Donors will demand their own pound of flesh!
Large donors are like Shylocks.
Can Anna ask each large donor to furnish an undertaking that the amount they are donating, is their honest-hard-earned money? Will they give? Or will they make fun of him?

*Unknown persons enter camps.
Some of them good.
Some others bad.
Any of them can throw stones and burn buses.

*Persons who join parties
Some have clean histories.
Some have dirty histories.

Examples:
1) Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, former C.M. of A.P., met Anna and offered him his support for Anna's anti-corruption campaigns.

Mr. Naidu gave a back-stab to his own father-in-law Mr. N.T. Rama Rao and drove him out of TDP. Mr. Naidu, a farmer of just 4 acres in Chittoor Dt., Andhra Pradesh, amassed wealth of about Rs. 20 billion! How is it possible without corruption?

Mr. Naidu has already started criticising Anna.

2) Mr. Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy (popularly called Jagan), M.P., and son of Mr. Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, deceased Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh met Anna and offered him his support for Anna's anti-corruption campaigns.

Mr. Jagan is facing CBI cases of amassing assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. He is reported to have made about a trillion Rupees wealth.

Can Anna Hazare say 'no' to those who wish to support him or join his party and give the reason as 'corruption'?

I am afraid, that this will be a delicate issue for Anna.

Anna said that he would meet people and convince them that they should send clean persons to Parliament. Suppose, Anna comes to Hyderabad to meet the people. Will he go to to tiled or tin sheds door-by-door and convince the dwellers? Or will he address meetings? If he addresses meetings , who will arrange them? Who will bear the expenses?

Anna said that he was a fakir. Ok, who has been bearing his expenses all the time? His neatly washed and well-ironed clothes. His couches and pillows.

I have seen the last letter (Hindi version - I am not 100% thorough with Hindi) of Anna, placed on the net, while dissolving the team Anna. I find him sincere, prima facie. But, we have to go deeper. We have to visit rAlEgAv Siddhi, to have a direct first-hand look. I hope that I shall have that fortune someday.

I requested for their email address. I am awaiting it, to contact them.
