Maharashtra revenue minister Balasaheb Thorat would be meeting the anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare, who today launched a fresh indefinite hunger strike over Jan Lokpal Bill, at Ralegan Siddhi this evening.

Advocate Shyam Asawa, trustee of Bhrastachar Virodhi Janandolan, Hazare's organisation, told PTI that officials informed that Thorat had left from Nagpur -- where winter session of state legislature started today -- for Ralegan Siddhi.

Hazare was open to talks with Thorat (who hails from the same district, Ahmednagar), but would not budge from his demand that Jan Lokpal Bill should be passed, Asawa said.
