MUMBAI: Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare has said he has no desire to hold any post as it would not then be possible for him to continue with the work he is doing at present.
"I don't desire to be the president. Whatever work is being done by me today won't be possible if I hold that post," Hazare said in a TV interview.
"Several people tried to persuade me to become an MLA or an MP, minister but I am not interested in these posts either. Whatever I can do today, I won't be able to do so after becoming a minister," he said.
Meanwhile, Hazare reiterated his decision to begin a hunger-strike on the last day of the winter session of Maharashtra Legislature if the Congress-led state government failed to bring in a legislation for a strong and effective Lokayukta in the state.
Stating that he was influenced by the thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekaannd, Hazare said he was carrying out his work based on ideologies of these two great persons.
