Terming his decision to start a new political outfit as not a correct one, Jois said "... The decision to start a new political party appears to be not a correct and practicable decision for the reason that it will lead to fragmentation of political forces and parties who are against the present corrupt Government and weaken the movement started by Anna Hazare against corruption..."

Obviously, the decision to give up the indefinite fast has emboldened the Central Government not to bring Lokpal Bill even in the Monsoon session of Parliament, he said in a statement.

Jois suggested that instead (of floating a party) Anna along with Baba Ramdev unite all political forces who are against the present regime so as to bring about "total revolution aimed at establishing corrupt free administration."
