History seems to be repeating itself for Mayank Gandhi. One of the core committee members of India Against Corruption (IAC), Gandhi would have been a politician by now had things worked out. The situation is more or less similar to the one Gandhi found himself in 2007, when he moved out of a movement citing various reasons.

Gandhi had joined the Lok Satta Movement in 2005-06 and worked with it for two years, but then he left midway because, in his own words, petty politics within the movement did not give him the feel-good feeling.
