On the contrary, I am completely against Anna's rhetoric at this point
myself, and it appears to me the others around him like kejriwal and the
bhushans are finding it hard to contain him as well, having accepted him as
their leader publicly. So, I credit Anna (and the govt.) for waking people
up a bit, not for talking intelligently about the matter and definitely not
for his mindlessly setting deadlines to the govt. at this point. No
infallibility, I think he is negating his own good efforts, and might end up
very much fallible. The personal axe again is incidental and unexpected. Who
knew this would become so popular?
