Sonia Gandhi Alleges BJP Support for Anna Hazare's Anti-Corruption Movement; Hazare Denies
Sonia Gandhi's memoir claims the 2012 'India Against Corruption' movement led by Anna Hazare was covertly supported by the BJP and RSS to undermine the UPA government. Gandhi highlights the movement's role in pressuring the government to pass the Lokpal Act. Hazare rejects these allegations, stating he has no links with BJP or RSS and acts solely for the country. Both accounts reflect differing views on the movement's origins and political impact during that period.
