Kejriwal meets Anna Hazare 'to seek blessings'

October 01, 2012 11:51

With a deep rift apparent, Arvind Kejriwal met his mentor Anna Hazare in Delhi on Monday morning.

Kejriwal, who launches his political party on Tuesday on Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary, said that he sought 75-year-old Anna's blessings.

"Our ways are different but our destination is the same," he said.

Kejriwal was Anna's preferred aide in the India Against Corruption movement that they frontlined. The divide was caused by Kejriwal's decision to enter politics.

Anna initially suggested that though he would not join the party, it would have its support.

But in recent days, Anna has denunciated the plans that led to the disbanding of India Against Corruption.

Among the contentious issues facing the group of activists now is who will keep that name.
