* The BJP has clarified that would vote in both Houses of Parliament in favour of all the three sticking points raised by Anna Hazare


* Both the houses of the Parliament issued a statement supporting the formulation of a strong Lokpal bill.


* Sri Sri Ravi Shankar expressed his contentment on the process of reaching a consensus among political parties on introducing Jan Lokpal Bill in Parliament.


* Terming it as a "win-win" situation for both sides, another Team Anna member Medha Patkar said while there was no surrender of Parliament supremacy, there was also victory of people`s power.


* Hazare has been fasting since Aug 16 - over 270 hours so far - demanding a more inclusive Lokpal Bill.


* His normal diet when he is not fasting consists of milk and fruits, dalia (wheat porridge) and simple khichdi. Most of the time he skips even this simple meal.
