New Delhi: It is the second day of anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare's visit to Delhi. Arvind Kejriwal met Anna Hazare along with Manish Sisodia and assured that he'll support Anna in all his movements. This was the first meeting between Kejriwal and Anna after they parted ways.
Kejriwal also said that their destination was ultimately the same. "We came here to assure him our support in all his movements. Our roads are different but the destination is the same. We will keep meeting and supporting each other. There is no fight," Kejriwal said after the meeting.
Anna wants to chalk out a strategy to fight corruption and a long term political option. "If I had to enter elections I would have done it much earlier. I have not even fought Panchayat elections. When I talk about alternative, I am not talking about political alternative," he said on Sunday.
Asked if Kejriwal had fooled Team Anna with his political ambitions, Hazare said, "no, it is not a question of being cheated." "Politics is not the right direction. If politics would have given us a bright future, then why India once called a golden bird had to mortgage gold. This country will not get the right future from politics," he said.
This is in stark contrast to what Anna had said at Jantar Mantar earlier. He had spoken about the need for a political alternative and to send good, clean candidates to Parliament. Anna will meet retired IAS and IPS officers on Monday.
