(Image NBT)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Social activist Anna Hazare has announced that he will begin an indefinite hunger strike on January 30 in Maharashtra\u2019s Ralegan Siddhi, accusing the state government of failing to implement the long-pending Lokayukta Act. Calling this his \u201cfinal agitation,&#8221; Hazare said the law is crucial for public welfare but continues to be ignored despite repeated assurances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Hazare had earlier gone on a hunger strike in Ralegan Siddhi in 2022, demanding the enactment of the Lokayukta law. That protest was withdrawn after mediation by then chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and the Union agriculture minister, following which a committee drafted the legislation. The Bill was passed by both Houses of the Maharashtra legislature and later forwarded to the President for assent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">However, Hazare now says the Act has still not been implemented on the ground. He added that he has written seven letters to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, but has received no response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Hazare expressed frustration over the government\u2019s silence.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> \u201cThis law is very important for the welfare of the people. I wrote seven letters, yet no response came. I don\u2019t understand why the government is not implementing it. A government is meant for public welfare, not for mere display,&#8221; he said, confirming his January 30 fast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Hazare, known for galvanising the nation during the 2011 India Against Corruption movement at Jantar Mantar, said he hopes the government will act before the situation escalates again.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfd\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfdbtn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/dlxczavtqcctuei\/news18\/static\/images\/english\/google-color.svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" alt=\"\" class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\"\/><span class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\">Click here to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-82675252 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 12, 2025, 14:16 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-82675252 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/\">india<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Anna Hazare To Launch Indefinite Hunger Strike From Jan 30 Over Non-Implementation Of Lokayukta Act<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
