          Patna, Jan 30  (IANS) Activist Anna Hazare Wednesday announced that he would form a 'Jantantra Morcha' to fight for and assert people's rights.
 "We   have decided to form a country-wide organisation, Jantantra Morcha,"   Hazare said at a rally at the Gandhi Maidan here after delivering an   oath to hundreds of people.

 Hazare, who arrived here Tuesday, said the Morcha would work for people's causes, including eradicating corruption.
 "We   will not participate in elections. We will only work to awaken people   and organise them to fight for their rights and for justice," he said.
  
 He   said the morcha would fight, among other things, for some key changes:   For 'jan lokpal', the right to reject a poll candidate, the right to   recall a candidate who fails those who have elected him, strengthening   the Right to Information Act, electoral reform and decentralisation of   power.
 
 "If jan lokpal, as we proposed, came into existence, at   least 15 ministers of the central government would be sent to jail for   corruption," Hazare said.
 
 Hazare vowed to build a new India free   from corruption, with the support of people, particularly youths, who   constitute a majority of the population.
 
 He reiterated that he would visit people across the country in coming months to awaken the conscience of people.
 
 Bihar   Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Wednesday expressed his support for Hazare   and said he favoured a 'jan andolan' (people's movement) to strengthen   democracy in India.
 
 "Anna Hazare is doing good work," the chief minister told media persons here.
