Arvind Kejriwal power hungry, says Anna Hazare
Apparently disappointed
with Arvind Kejriwal for not responding to his 17-point agenda, social activist
Anna Hazare on Thursday accused the Aam
Aadmi Party (AAP) leader being power hungry.In a statement issued on
Thursday, Hazare said: "I had handed over a 17-point agenda letter to Kejriwal and told him that I
would support him if he agrees to
it. But till date, neither Kejriwal nor his party has given me any assurance on it.
It is now very clear
that these (AAP and Kejriwal)
people are thinking of power more than of the nation.(Even if AAP comes
to power) nation will not have any bright future as there is no difference between them and other parties."Hazare
has endorsed Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee as a likely prime ministerial candidate. Banerjee had
agreed to Hazare's 17-point
agenda, which includes village-centric social and economic initiatives and proposals such as boosting vocational
education and stricter laws
against corruption."I didn't support any political party in the
past. For the first time
in my life, I have announced support to Banerjee because no other party responded to my letter except her. I feel if the 17-point agenda is implemented, it will change the entire picture of the nation," he said.
The social activist reiterated that Banerjee's "austere lifestyle" and her "sincerity" has not been seen in any other leader in the country. "I came to the conclusion that people like her should lead the nation. I agree with her views... I have not supported Banerjee or her party, but their social and national thoughts... my support is limited only to the forthcoming elections," he said.
Hazare said that transfer of power from one party to another was not going to change the national picture but that the entire system needed restructuring. "Banerjee is working in West Bengal with this idea. If the idea spreads in the nation, it will be a different picture altogether," he said.
