Bordoloi said that the prayer meeting reflected the good will of the people for Anna Hazare who has been continuing with his fast.
�We expect Anna Hazare to continue with the same zeal and enthusiasm pray to the Almighty to extend all strength to this Gandhian so that he is successful in his mission success,� said Bordoloi adding that this spontaneous peoples movement will surely eradicate corruption from the country and build a new India.
