For four days, the UPA government was adamant on not yielding to the demands for a new draft of the Lokpal Bill. The government’s perspective changed dramatically yesterday afternoon — after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh received a letter from Law Minister M Veerappa Moily.
Moily told the PM that Anna Hazare’s fast unto death was fast catching the imagination of the people, and favoured an immediate resolution of the issue, sources said.

The continued agitation by Hazare could even damage congress in state assembly elections. So, this timing suited Hazare. Moreover, the Government was also coming with Lok Pal Bill that did not satisfy Hazare. They made their own draft Jan Lok Pal Bill. It was okay to accept this much.
First meeting on Lok Pal Bill is taking place on Saturday 16th April.
