"Don't need a Kiran Bedi or Arvind Kejriwal," says Anna Hazare

January 28, 2015 18:07

Anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare today said his movement does not need a Kiran Bedi or an Arvind Kejriwal and he believed in "Ekla Chalo Re (walking alone)."

Speaking to NDTV at his village Ralegan Siddhi in Maharashtra, the 77-year-old Gandhian distanced himself from the two most prominent faces of his 2011 anti-corruption campaign, who are now the main political rivals in poll-bound Delhi.

"Let Delhi decide whether to choose Kiran or Arvind. Why drag me into the muck?" Anna Hazare said.

"I don't need Kiran Bedi or Arvind Kejriwal. I have the people with me. Why should I be upset at not having a team?" he added.
