New Delhi, Jan 16 (IANS) Reiterating it will not assume a political role in the coming assembly polls, Team Anna Monday said it will instead highlight the issue of corruption and the response of various parties to it while touring the poll-bound states.

“The movement would not ask people to vote in favour of or against any particular party. People would be encouraged to ask all parties whether they would bring a strong Lokayukta bill during the tour,” said a release sent to all media houses.

India Against Corruption (IAC) activists will tour the poll-bound states, starting with Uttarakhand Jan 21-23, during which they will tell people about the response of various parties to the anti-corruption movement and their stand on the Lokpal bill.

The IAC would visit Punjab for two days Jan 24-25 before returning to Uttarakhand Jan 27-28.

The month of February has been primarily dedicated to elections in Uttar Pradesh, which Team Anna would visit from Feb 2 till Feb 25.

The tour programme would coincide with the different phases of election in the state. IAC members will visit Goa Feb 28-29 and March 1, the organisation said.

Other details are being finalised.
