1. Team Anna should enter politics to provide a credible alternative to the existing polity and setup. But they should tread with ample care and caution.
2. Circumstances have pushed Team Anna into the cauldron of politics without forethought, planning and strategy.
3. Elections are likely to be preponed to 2013 by Congress and its allies simply to throw team Anna into greater chaos confusion and bickering if not infighting.
4. In preponed elections Congress will gain maximum advantage from division of vote between Congress BJP and Team Anna.
5. Team Anna has very little /No time to prepare for 2013 /2014 LokSabha elections. Moreover assembly elections in 9 states are due shortly in December 2012.
6. Success of team Anna will largely depend on its candidates, clearly defined short term goals, long term objectives and the Leadership it fields.
7. While party organization, constitution Name etc. are important, team Anna has no time to waste precious time and energy on these issues. It may rope in services of constitutional experts and able administrators like Mr Subash Kashyap (former Secretary General Lok Sabha) and leave the task of framing the party constitution name etc. to the team under his leadership.
9 It is the bane of Indian politics that honest eminent persons by choice do not enter politics. Team Anna must concentrate its energy on selecting 552 honest candidates for lok-sabha elections like General V.K. Singh, Mr. Narain Murthy, Mr. Sridharan and the likes of them. Lot of persuasion and hard work will be required to motivate these unbiased / eminent persons to enter politics under an able leadership. Even if a handful of such persons are motivated to sacrifice a few years of their remaining life and fight elections, half the battle could be won.
10. The very circumstances that have pushed team Anna into fasting and politics .i.e. public angst, anger and disgust against corruption, existing polity and politicians have given team Anna its greatest advantage in terms of public sympathy and popularity.
11. This has also lead team Anna to the constituency of 120 cr. voters giving team Anna the head start in the run up to the elections in the very near future.
12. It is for the team Anna to preserve its constituency, capitalize on public sympathy and build on its popularity through its leadership, statesmanship and actions.
13. My humble suggestion to team Anna is (a) Do not waste time (b) Do not speak in many voices. (c) Do not indulge in populist statements and unnecessary statements /debates /bickering on TV channels. These serve no purpose.
14. Have faith in the wisdom of people and voters of this country.
