August 1st, 2012 - 1:35 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Aug 1 (IANS) Anna Hazare’s fast against corruption entered day four on a rain soaked Wednesday with his supporters coming to the venue Jantar Mantar in small batches.
Besides Hazare, three members of his team - Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai - are also on fast. They began their hunger strike for a stringent anti-graft Jan Lokpal bill a week ago.
Kejriwal is a little weak and has mostly been lying down, said a Team Anna supporter.
Hazare and Team Anna members, including Kiran Bedi, were holding a meeting at the venue, said a supporter.
Along with the four Team Anna members, around 450 people are also on fast, said an India Against Corruption, which has organised the protest fast.
Team Anna is holding the protest fast to demand passage of the Jan Lokpal bill for creation of an ombudsman.
