| Anna won't campaign in poll-bound states till he recovers fully: Kiran Bedi

| As the Congress gears up for assembly elections in five states including Uttar Pradesh, Kiran Bedi today said that anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare would not campaign in the states going to polls since his health did not permit him to do so.
"He will not go anywhere till he recovers fully," the Team Anna member said after meeting Anna Hazare at Sancheti Hospital where he was admitted last Saturday. Anna will decide on his next move after a month, said Ms Bedi. Till then, he will follow the doctors' advice of complete rest.
After Anna ended his fast on the second day of the protest at the MMRDA Grounds in Mumbai on December 28, he declared that he and his team would campaign against the Congress in the upcoming assembly polls over the government's "failure" to bring an "effective and strong" Lokpal Bill.
But the 74-year-old anti-corruption crusader is in hospital for what doctors say is "chest congestion" and has been advised bed rest for a month. Close aides are wary of exposing him to the rigours of a campaign until he recovers completely.
Team Anna's core committee will meet in Delhi on Saturday to decide on the future course of action, Ms Bedi said. Anna will not attend but he has shared his views and the committee will take a collective and sensible decision, she said.
Doctors treating Anna today said that they would decide if he could be discharged from hospital after tests on Friday. They said that his reports were normal at the moment and expressed hope that there would be no need for further hospitalisation. He even exercised today, they pointed out. But it was very important for Anna to take proper rest, said Dr K H Sancheti.
According to Ms Bedi, Anna was on antibiotics and drips.
