Hazare will begin a fast-unto-death at Ralegaon Siddhi on October 2 to demand action against indicted politicians. “They (Congress, NCP) have given tickets to tainted politicians. My fight is against the corrupt politicians contesting elections,” Hazare said.

Hazare’s supporters will also travel across 300 talukas of Maharashtra with an audio message from him.

Hazare has decided to work for some “clean” candidates. He has extended support to Shiv Sena MP Adhalrao Patil whose wife Kalpana is contesting from Ambegaon in Pune against NCP’s Dilip Walse Patil.
