Anna blasts AAP

Anna had said, “When AAP came to power in Delhi, people’s expectations increased and it was felt that there will be a change in the country.”

“However, their credibility dwindled. An important reason for this decrease was that these (AAP) leaders reneged on their poll promise of not accepting government facilities like official bungalows and other perks,” he said.

“Despite the poll promise, (Kejriwal) took a big bungalow and government vehicle and even a hefty salary hike,” Hazare said. Dismissing AAPs allegations of EVM manipulation, Hazare said the Election Commission had asked anyone doubting the EVM machines to substantiate their claims. “They (AAP) should have come forward to prove their charges. Now it is late,” he said.

“Had (AAP rule in) Delhi become a model, the whole country would have emulated it. However, the lust for power is a bad thing,” said Hazare, whose anti-corruption movement led to the political rise of Kejriwal and his party.

“AAP should have stayed focused on Delhi. It should not have ventured in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. People realised that they are hungry for power,” he remarked. Then they called Anna as  a BJP agent.
