Predictably this mornings national newspapers are dominated by Anna Hazare. What with Hazare’s refusal to come out of prison, the swelling crowds at Tihar jail and the Chhatrasal stadium, the protests all over the country and the subsequent debates and statements in parliament, yesterday was an extremely eventful day. Most newspapers have commented on the fact that Hazare has won a resounding victory over the government, adding that the UPA government is looking increasingly demoralized and powerless. There are also a slew of interesting smaller stories, such as the account of a investment banker who has joined the fast from Mumbai.
Editorials in the major newspapers have also predictably focused on Anna, with some saying that this is an opportunity for something really big to happen, while others say that the government should not be held to ransom in this manner.
