Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement was covertly supported by BJP, RSS to dislodge UPA: Sonia Gandhi's memoir

Sonia Gandhi, in her memoir, indicates that the 'India Against Corruption' movement received covert support from the BJP and RSS. The movement created significant public pressure, compelling the UPA government to pass the Lokpal Act in 2014. Although the legislation aimed to combat corruption, it became ineffective following the BJP's rise to power. Gandhi reflects on Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's challenges during this tumultuous period.
