1983-2011 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Eighteen months after they came together to launch their anti-corruption movement, Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal officially parted ways today. Opposing the decision of the Kejriwal-led group to form a political party, Hazare barred them from using his name or photograph. Speaking to mediapersons at the end of the nine-hour meeting, Hazare said: ŵhere is nothing wrong with fielding a political party but I will not be a part of it. It has my blessings and we will work towards the common goal of eradicating corruption. If they feel they can get a majority, it is a good thing, but they cannot use my photo or my name... The paths have been separated. Late in the night, Hazare met yoga guru Ramdev. However, no details were available on their meeting. Hazare also rejected the ÅÓeferendum carried out by India Against Corruption (IAC) which reported huge support in favour of a political party. Ū will tour the country and awaken the people... It is our misfortune that despite our best efforts the team is breaking up. I do not agree with the way the referendum was conducted, if the verdict was so clear, why call this meeting at all? he said. Hazare was flanked by Kejriwal, who refused to answer questions, and Kiran Bedi. According to IAC sources, of the 45 people who attended todayÃÔ meeting, only eight members opposed a political option, including Hazare, Bedi and Justice Santosh Hegde. Earlier, Kejriwal had said that they would not launch a party without HazareÃÔ support. However, he declined to answer questions on this issue today. Avoiding any reference to the meeting, Kejriwal later tweeted: Ťountry is on sale. It is passing through very difficult phase. I will do everything possible for me to save my country. Seeming to voice Team KejriwalÃÔ stand, Giriraj Kishore, former registrar of IIT-Kanpur, said: ŵhere are allegations that we exploited Anna. The fact of the matter is that people who are accused of that have also made Anna Anna. Bedi tweeted: ŧeel Anna was being expected to support political option when he was never inclined. Was it a case of misjudgement on the part of some? http://www.indianexpress.com/news/team-splits-anna-tells-kejriwal-faction-not-to-use-his-name-photo-for-new-party/1005185/0 they couldn't even stay united for more than 18 months and people though they were the next big thing in india:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Anna has met Ramdev so lets see how that works out:hmmm:
Sachin=GOD Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Yeh toh hona hi tha. Kejriwal has developed political ambitions on the back of Anna's popularity and now he will come to know of the ground reality.
