“I am alright now and ready for fight as well (crusade against corruption). I will travel around the country and visit the states to awaken the people. Fight will continue till the country becomes corruption-free,” the Gandhian said.

He also rejected suggestions of differences in the erstwhile Team Anna,which he disbanded recently. “You will see that we will fight unitedly.”
