Thackrey said anna not to sacrifice his life for the useless government.
Fadnavi’s said that some peoples are going to met Hazare and extending their supports to his cause. He also added that Anna should remember the comments made by those peoples which they have made against him in the past.
Hours after the Sena appealed to the government to save Hazare’s life and took a swipe against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on appointing anti-graft watchdogs, Fadnavis said some people are playing politics as Hazare’s health is deteriorating.

Chief of Shiv Sena Uddhav Thackeray, whose party is an ally of the BJP at the Centre and in Maharashtra, had extended his support to Anna on Sunday. He asked him to emulate socialist leader jayprakash narayan and lead an agitation against corruption.
Anna has earlier warned Modi government that if they would not fulfill their demand he will return his Padma Bhushan award.

He also said that the centre has taken steps on all the issues, which was demanded by Anna. Anna should withdraw his fast unto death without any hesitation.

In an apparent bid to build the anti-corruption narrative ahead of elections, the state Cabinet has decided last week to bring the office of Maharashtra Chief Minister under the jurisdiction of Lokayukta.
The government also decided that ministers and Opposition leaders will also be brought under the ambit of Lokayukta- an anti-corruption ombudsman organizations in the States which mainly helps people to publicize corruption among the politicians and government Officials.
