The Anna-naming fever seems to be particularly high in Bihar and MP, where as many as 200 babies have been named after him. In Darbhanga, Bihar, nearly 100 infants were named Anna in the past one week. Surprisingly, even girls are being named Anna.
According to sources, in the last one week, four women admitted in the maternity ward of Lok Nayak Hospital have named their newborns after Anna Hazare. A source at Vinayak Hospital says that between August 16 to 22, out of the five deliveries that took place in the hospital, three newborns were named Anna on their birth certificates.
According to sources, ever since Anna went on his anshan, many parents, cutting across caste, creed and gender have taken a fancy to naming their babies after the Gandhian. In Damoh district in Madhya Pradesh, 22 newborns have been named after the anti-corruption crusader.
