No rift with Arvind Kejriwal : Anna

New Delhi:Anti Corruption Anna Hazare on Monday said that he has no differences with Arvind kejriwal and will support him if he contests elections.
Hazare, who concluded the first round of consultations on the course of his apolitical anti-grant movement, also met Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, 12 days after they formally split on the issue of the movement taking a political plunge.

Hazare and Kejriwal downplayed differences with both saying there were no rift between them and that they will help each other.

Kejriwal said they came to meet him as Hazare is in Delhi. “We have a relationship. There is no fight between us. He himself has said the goal is same though the paths are different. We told him that whenever needed, we are there to help you. He told us media is creating an impression that there is a fight,” he said.

However, Hazare differed with Kejriwal’s assertion that he will return to them if they work honestly and the claim that he was the first too moot the idea of forming a party.

“If he has said that, it is wrong,” Hazare said when his attention was drawn to a interview by Kejriwal in which he claimed that the veteran activist asked him about the proposition.

Kejriwal had also claimed in the interview that he sought three days time from Hazare to answer his query.

Hazare had on Sunday fired a salvo at the Kejriwal-led group, saying they had not responded to his questions on how to present a political alternative to the people in the fight against corruption and dubbed the path of politics as one “full of dirt”.

The path of “politics is not sacred and it is full of dirt” but the route of agitation is “sacred”, Hazare had said.
