Anna slams Kejriwal, says politics spilt movement
September 29, 2012 09:30
In a veiled attack on his former close aide Arvind Kejriwal, Anna Hazare said "politics has split" the anti-corruption movement and the pro-party group has gone against his will.
The Gandhian activist also decried efforts to link him with some parties and "communal" outfits, in an apparent reference to allegations that he is closing ranks with RSS through yoga guru Baba Ramdev to run the anti-corruption movement after the split with the Kejriwal-led group.
"Those who favour party have been saying that if Anna says, then they will not form a party. But despite that, they have decided to go ahead with the plan against my decision. Sometimes, it is also said they were forming the party because Anna has decided so. This is not right," he said.
