Questioning the need for the anti-corruption movement turning political, activist Kiran Bedi on Thursday alleged that Arvind Kejriwal has changed his stand on the question of the movement’s character and not Anna Hazare.
She said Hazare can unite all movements across the country and put pressure on political parties on the issue of corruption and bringing of a strong Lokpal bill. ‘What is the compulsion to float a party,’ asked Bedi, who sided with Hazare on the issue of staying apolitical and continuing with the movement. Hazare parted ways with the Kejriwal-led group which is planning to form a party to fight corruption. She said she will ‘never go political’. ‘There is no change in Anna’s thinking. Arvind’s thinking has changed. May be, Arvind’s vision on movement might have changed. He might be thinking that enough is enough,’ she said.
