NEW DELHI, Within a month of stitching an alliance to fight corruption, Team Anna is now fuming at yoga guru Ramdev for his "one-up manship" and "not taking into confidence" Anna Hazare while announcing the future course of action.

Hazare had a meeting with Ramdev yesterday at Gurgaon following which a
press meet was arranged, which Team Anna claims they were unaware of.


At the press conference, Hazare and Ramdev announced a series of
agitations starting from May one followed by a joint fast at Jantar
Mantar on June three. On May one, Hazare will start his agitation from
Shirdi while Ramdev will embark on an yatra from Durg in Chhattisgarh.


Team Anna, sources said, have expressed their unhappiness at the press
meet organised by Ramdev without taking Hazare into confidence to
announce the agitation plans.

Also, a section in the Hazare camp
has apprehensions about involving Ramdev in the anti-corruption
movement as he has a "credibility crisis" due to allegations against the
yoga guru's Patanjali Yogpeeth and his close aide.

After an
on-and-off relationship for about a year, Hazare had announced last
month that both Team Anna and Ramdev will support each other and will
participate in each other's agitations against corruption.


According to Team Anna sources, they do not have any problems with the
announcement of agitations. "If Anna decides on agitation, nobody will
have objections. But the issue here is that Ramdev played one-up manship
and he did not take Anna into confidence.

"He had sought a
meeting to discuss issues. But after the meeting he was forced to attend
the media briefing. We have serious objections to this," a Team Anna
member said.

Ramdev's spokesperson S K Tijariwala could not be reached for comments.
Meanwhile, Team Anna's Core Committee will be meeting in Noida tomorrow to decide on the future course of action.

The issue involving Ramdev is likely to be discussed in the meeting
which will be attended by Hazare and other prominent members.
