Anna Hazare praises Mamata for her simplicity

February 09, 2014 17:53

Anna Hazare has lauded West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her simplicity while taking a jibe at AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, saying some people take bunglows despite promising not to do so.

Banerjee wears slippers even after she became the CM but some people opt for bungalows forgetting their earlier pledged, he said in an apparent reference to Kejriwal.

Asked if Banerjee is a good prime ministerial candidate, Hazare evaded a direct reply, noting, "I did not say that. I had written a letter to all parties that if they are willing to accept a 17-point agenda, then they can let me know."
