Union Steel Minister challanges Anna to visit UP

Mumbai, Dec 15: Union Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma on Thursday (today) strongly criticised India's face of anti-corruption movement, Anna hazare and challenged him to come to his constituency if he has the courage.

Addressing the media at Chakeri airport, Verma said, “Who is Anna Hazare? We have been doing politics our whole life, and this man wearing a dhoti-kurta thinks he is an ‘anshan master’ (master in the arts of fasting). If he has the courage, let him come to my constituency."

The ex-Samajwadi Party leader claimed that the backward castes in UP were behind the Congress this time, and the party will win 200 seats to form the government. He further claimed that BSP’s tally will shrink to 100, SP’s tally will further shrink to 50, and BJP’s tally will shrink to 30.
