Veteran Social activist Anna Hazare said he would launch a fresh stir against the government as Narendra Modi led BJP- government has failed to fulfil the promises on bringing back black money and appointing a Lokpal.
"Almost eight months of the new government have gone by; this hasn't been looked at on priority. Eight months have passed and nothing has been done, this means you gave assurance to people only to secure votes," said Hazare.
The social activist also said the government is not serious on the issue of corruption which is why an agitation will be launched once again on Lokpal, Land Acquisition Act and black money.
He further criticized the government for not keeping on its poll promises of bringing back the black money and depositing in every person's account.
"Before polls the present government assured people that in 100 days you will bring back black money and deposit 15 lakhs in every person's account," he added.
He, however, refused to comment into the ongoing political slug-fest between Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal and Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi.
