"The government is not ready to enact Jan Lokpal Bill.
How long and how many times we will go on fast? Now peoplehave asked us to leave fast and give an alternative. I also thought that thegovernment is not going to curb corruption...
"We are now stopping the activities of Team Anna today.
Team Anna was formed to fight for Jan Lokpal. We have alsodecided not to have any more talks with the government. From today, there willbe no Team Anna or Team Anna Core Committee," Hazare said.
Since April last year, Team Anna has been on streets withHazare going on indefinite fast four times and one-day fasts also four timesbesides being part of a joint committee to draft the Lokpal Bill.
Team Anna's decision to enter electoral politics had earliermet with opposition from several of Core Committee members like Justice SantoshHegde, Medha Patkar, Chandramohan and Akhil Gogoi.
"I have given an alternative of sending good people toParliament. But I am not going to be part of any party nor will I contestelections. After getting Jan Lokpal, I will go back to Maharashtra and indulgein my activities.
