Tech-savvy team backs Anna
Behind Anna Hazare and his team of four — Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan, Shanti Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal — there is a team of over 30 people working to make the crusade against corruption a success. What is little known is the source of funding, though members of the A-Team claim it is from “public donations”.
The tech-savvy team has been able to anticipate every step the government planned and out-manoeuvre it. Sources said that on August 15 the team pre-recorded a video message from the crusader and kept it ready for distribution to TV in the event of his arrest. Anna’s movements were confined to his core team to add an element of surprise. The government had no clue about his plan to visit Rajghat on August 15. Immediately after his arrest, the recording was sent to TV channels. On August 16, the nation heard Anna’s message and that he was being arrested. It had devastating impact.
