PM advisor hails Anna’s movement

Chennai:

Anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare decision to join politics may have evoked criticism from different quarters but prime minister’s adviser for National Skill Development Council and vice-chairman of Tata Consultancy Services S Ramadorai gives him credit for keeping the fight against corruption alive.

“If it was not for Anna hazare, we would accept corruption as fiat accompli,” said Ramadorai while addressing the 176^th Annual General Meeting of Madras Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

“While I may not endorse his methodologies, I give him credit for keeping the issue alive, reigning in support from citizens and getting the government to act,” he said.

“He and his followers have been the pressure group, similarly MCCI must be a pressure group on government in enabling the right policies, whether it is in case of starting a business or promoting growth of existing industrial zones and clusters,” he said.
