'Anna's poll campaign depends on his health'

Pune: Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said the proposed campaign by Anna Hazare in five poll-bound states entirely depended on his health.

"It depends entirely on his health and suggestions by doctors," he told reporters after visiting Hazare.

The 74-year-old activist had earlier announced that he would tour the five poll-bound states to canvass against political parties that opposed a strong Lokpal Bill in Parliament.

He said since Anna's health was improving with reduced chest congestion, the date of next meeting of the movement's core committee would be finalised soon.

"Anna's health is paramount for us and the whole country," he added.

Dr Parag Sancheti, who accompanied Kejriwal, said Hazare would be administered intravenous antibiotics for five days.

He has been advised not to undertake any stressful activity or fast for a month.

"Anna does not require strict bed rest but he should not undertake any stressful activity," he added.
