A day after Team Anna had announced it would take the plunge into electoral politics,the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), taking the announcement ‘lightly,’ said there will be no problem for the NDA. ‘Anna Hazare has launched the anti-corruption movement and brought awareness among the people and now it wanted to enter into politics for which its team had every right in a democracy,’ Senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu told a press conference here today. He said whoever wanted to form a party can do it but it should ensure it would run efficiently by having policies to face the challenges and also have able leadership besides lakhs of cadre dedicated to party work. Mr Naidu also said it is not easy to sustain the organisation after forming a party as it required a clear-cut programme, ideology and should be answerable to the challenges the country were facing.
