Kejriwal has lost credibility: Hazare

Following the crushing defeat of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi municipal elections, Arvind Kejriwal’s former Jan Lokpal movement ally Anna Hazare blamed the party leadership for failing to live up to expectations and losing mandate within a short period of time.

Hazare also questioned Kejriwal’s leadership on Wednesday saying the party has lost credibility. He said there was a difference between AAP’s “words and actions” which led to their defeat. “Unki kathni aur karni mein bahut antar hai,” Hazare told reporters in Ralegan Siddhi adding that Kejriwal had promised not to take official residence but availed every benefit from the government.

On several occasions in the past, Hazare has been critical of the Delhi CM. “People’s expectations had gone up when AAP entered politics, but it’s credibility went down very soon,” Hazare said. HTC
