The crusader against corruption, Anna Hazare changed track on Friday and said that he will campaign against the UPA government in the forthcoming elections in five states, if it fails to get the Jan Lok Pal Bill passed in the winter seession of parliament.

Hazare said if the Bill is not passed, he will fast for three days and then will go for a nation-wide tour. Asked if he will campaign against BJP, he said he will not campaign for the party. "I won't campaign for BJP. There is no difference between Congress and BJP," he said. However, Hazare praised Uttarakhand Chief Minister BC Khanduri for bringing a strong Lokayukta Bill and said he will honour the Chief Minister here for his "bold step".

Earlier Team Anna had come under attack for campaigning against the Congress during the Hissar Lok Sabha by-poll with critics saying they are indulging in politics though they were claiming to be campaigning against corruption. Accusing the government of trying to "weaken" the Jan Lokpal Bill, Hazare said there was no need for bring separate bills on citizens charter as well as on whistle blowers. "Government's intention is doubtful...The government is trying to weaken the Jan Lokpal Bill by cutting it into pieces. All these provisions were there in the Jan Lokpal Bill," he said. On Team Anna's campaign against Congress in Hissar Lok Sabha bypoll, he said it was because of the campaign that Congress candidate lost his deposit in the election.
