Anna Hazare is “saddened to see” that some colleagues of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal have gone to jail, while some others are “indulging in fraud”.
I am very hurt… When he (Kejriwal) was with me, he wrote a book on gram swaraj… Will we call this gram swaraj? That is the reason why I am sad. The hope which I had in him (Kejriwal) is over.Anna Hazare
His remarks come on the heels of AAP MLA Sandeep Kumar’s arrest for rape.

You are going to roam the world after launching your party. You will hold rallies in the country but how will you find out that the people who join your party have a good character or not? He (Kejriwal) did not have an answer for that.Hazare to Kejriwal
Hazare also pointed out that a background check was necessary for every candidate joining the party.
Arvind has been with me for many years. I was hoping that he will set a different example for politics in India and that he will also give a different direction to the nation.Anna Hazare
