Anna magic works in MP, 22 babies named after him
These babies were born from August 16 to 22 in the district hospital of this backward district in Bundelkhand. 18 boys and 4 girls were born. All have been named Anna. The villagers, who also have been affected by the corrupt system, thought to name their kids after the name of the national hero Anna Hazare.
Sanjay
Patel,
a
resident
of
Patharia
tehesil
of
Damoh
said
"Last
year
when
my
wife
delivered
a
child,
I
had
to
pay
Rs
500
as
bribe
to
the
hospital.
The
hospital
staff
demanded
it
as
a
gift.
Now
my
brother's
wife
delivered
a
child
this
week,
no
one
dared
to
ask
even
a
single
paisa",
he
claimed.
He
adds
that
this
was
Anna's
magic
and
miracle.
A man who named his child after the anti-corruption crusader said, "I want my son to grow like Anna. He has shown us a ray of hope against corruption."
Another person said, "Though my son is not a part of this campaign against corruption, as I have named him Anna he has automatically become a part of Anna's crusade."
