New Delhi: Union Minister for Steel Beni Prasad Verma has said that Anna Hazare is not a threat to the Congress. He even called him an RSS agent.

"Anna Hazare is an absconding soldier since 1965 war between India and Pakistan. He campaigned against Sharad Pawar in local body elections but Sharad Pawar emerged as winner. He only creates drama games in Delhi. He has got no identity in Indian politics. Anna is RSS's agent," he said.

On the election dates announced, he said, "Congress party is fully prepared to face the elections in Uttar Pradesh. Congress will emerge as winner under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi."

Team Anna Kumar Vishwas said, "It's an insult to the Armed forces. The army praised Anna. People are watching, they will react with anger in the polls."
