"We welcome their (Team Anna) coming into politics. I will do a prophesy today -- they cannot bring any revolution despite coming into politics (in the country)," Soz told reporters on the sidelines of a Congress rally to celebrate the anniversary of Quit India Movement here today.

The party took out a mega rally in Jammu to celebrate and pay homage to the leaders of Quit India Movement.

"They (Team Anna) will see it in future that politics is not easy. Politics is a demanding profession...They will learn the lesson," he said.

Hazare has now learnt that laws cannot be made at Jantar Mantar, Soz said, adding that laws are made after taking right decisions arrived through extensive discussions.

"The power to make and pass laws remains with us (Parliament)," he said. Hazare should have understood it on Day one when he held his fast to protest at Ramlila Maidan, the state Congress chief said.

"They (Team Anna) took a lot of time to decide. Now they have decided to enter into politics. We welcome them," he said.

Referring to electoral politics, he said Congress party has talent, experience and guidance to guide the country towards development, progress and prosperity.

"Congress will guide this nation and it will give the Prime Minister to the country in 2014," he said.
