Anna Hazare, who is on an indefinite hunger in New Delhi since March 23, indicated that the Centre's action plan may be submitted on Wednesday.
"A minister had met me on Monday and had said he would be back on Wednesday. However, I have been told by the government that the discussion on our demands was still underway at the PMO (Prime Minister's Office). They need more time. If it takes more time, the government will come to us tomorrow (Wednesday)," he said on Tuesday.
The Centre had on Monday reached out to Anna Hazare with its emissary and Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajana assuring the social activist that most of his "demands will be taken care of".
The minister said he was representing both the Centre as well as the state government.
Hazare has been pressing for setting up of the Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayuktas in the states, besides implementation of the Swaminathan Commission report, which has suggested ways to address the agrarian distress.
Hazare previously has accused the Union government of not appointing the Lokpal to investigate the cases of corruption, despite having a law in place.
