Anna Hazare distances himself from Delhi CM, says "no relations with Arvind Kejriwal"

NEW DELHI: Sidelining himself completely from his one-time protege Arvind Kejriwal, Social activist Anna Hazare on Monday said that now he has no relations with the Delhi chief minister. "Now I have no relations with Arvind Kejriwal. I don't know what is right or wrong but it hurts me whenever I read about him in newspapers," the 79-year-old Gandhian activist told media on the occasion of poster launch ceremony of Shashank Udapurkar's film 'Anna'. The film will zoom into his life from Hazare's childhood days to his enlisting in the army and his ultimate return to his hometown to raise his voice against the raging corruption. Hazare and Kejriwal had fallen out following the latters decision to join active politics after floating a political party. Hazare had earlier expressed his disappointment on the warm embrace his Arvind Kejriwal and Lalu Prasad shared on stage on the sidelines of the Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar's oath ceremony in Patna. "It's good that I left Arvind's company, or else I would also be facing a similar predicament," Hazare had said.
