Best wishes to you, Hazare tells Kejriwal
Mumbai, Feb 10
Gandhian activist Anna Hazare
Tuesday extended his "best wishes" to his protege and AAP leader Arvind
Kejriwal as his party headed for a landslide win in the Delhi assembly
election.
"I extend my best wishes to Kejriwalji," Hazare told journalists at his village Ralegan Siddhi in Maharashtra.
Kejriwal
became a household name when he was a key aide to Hazare when the
latter launched a hunger strike at the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi in 2011
in support of a Lokpal Bill.
Hazare urged Kejriwal "not to forget that 'andolan' (struggle) whether or not you are the chief minister".
He
said Kejriwal earned people's trust by taking part in that
anti-corruption agitation. "That is why he got so much support now. I
urge him not to make the mistakes he committed earlier."
Hazare
also criticized the Narendra Modi government for enacting a legislation
that makes it easy for authorities to take over land from the farmers.
