He is also stressing on the farmers rights, implementation of Swaminathan Commission and other concerns, such as the minimum support price, loan waivers and others.
On Friday, Mr Hazare kicked off his hunger strike after he paid tribute to father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi at Raj Ghat here.
On the first day, Mr Hazare , targeted the Central Government over the matter of fair price fixation for the farmers produce, and said that the ryots in the country were under distress as they were not getting the right prices.
