cherlapalli_jailer Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare on Wednesday skipped a rally addressed here by TMC chief Mamata Bannerjee who attacked Narendra Modi and ruled out support to either Congress or BJP after the Lok Sabha polls. What was billed to be a platform to launch Bannerjee's national ambitions with Hazare on the dais turned out to be just a Trinamool Congress rally. No reason was given for the absence of Hazare, who arrived here only on Tuesday night ostensibly to attend the rally, but sources said he was unwell. Hazare, who has expressed his support to Trinamool Congress and Bannerjee brushing aside his protege Arvind Kejriwal's party, had earlier in the day said he would attend the rally. Significantly, an Imam of Kolkata had issued a threat that he would withdraw support to Bannerjee if she shares dais with Hazare. Later, TMC leader Mukul Roy went to Maharashtra Sadan here and met Hazare. At the thinly-attended rally in Ramlila ground, Banerjee targetted both Congress and BJP besides arch-rivals Left parties.
