Anna asks who's AAP, Bedi says Kejriwal using Lokpal for gains

December 16, 2013 11:22

Ties between Anna Hazare and his former protege Arvind Kejriwal reached a new low on Sunday with Hazare associate Kiran Bedi accusing the Aam Aadmi Party chief of trying to keep the issue of the Lokpal alive for political gains even though most of their demands regarding the Bill had been met.

Hazare denied Kejriwal's claim that he had been misled by "some people" to believe that the government's Lokpal Bill, was strong and effective.

He wouldn't try convincing AAP otherwise though, Hazare added, as "it wasn't an important enough party". -- The Indian Express
