<p>The crowd continued to swell on the seventh day of Anna’s fast, despite it being a public holiday on the occasion of Janmashthami. It swelled to its maximum in the evening. <br />The ground is bustling with festivity as people from across the country descend at the fast venue to be a part of the anti-corruption movement.<br /><br />Manmohan Singh, in his late thirties, has come from Pauri in Uttarakhand to join the rally. He bears the name of the prime minister but says he is ashamed of it. <br /><br />“By now, he (PM) should have resigned. Despite series of scams, he is sticking to the post. Person like Anna is on a fast for the last seven days but he is not showing any sympathy. It is not done,” he said.<br /><br />Young and energetic Jitendra Sharma hails from Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh. He is trying to have a glimpse of Anna and is anxious about Anna’s health. <br /><br />However, he believes the government will certainly find out a solution. “How can it (government) ignore the support Anna is receiving from the people?” he asks.<br />If, for people like Krishna of Gurgaon, it is a season of festivity, he too is anxious over Anna’s health. <br /><br />He says: “Both in variety and quality, the arrangement of food is good’’. At the same time, he is sure of the government’s wisdom and hoped it would not allow Anna’s health to deteriorate.<br /><br />Probably, one of the biggest political-carnival of recent times, the fast-protest at Ramlila ground also showcases the creativity that has been put to use to highlight’s the Anna’s cause through colorful posters, caps or banners. <br /><br />The inspiration has also been drawn from bollywood.
