Arvind Kejriwal was carried away by wealth: Anna Hazare after AAP's Delhi ouster
New Delhi/IBNS: Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was carried away by the wealth, said social activist Anna Hazare after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was swept away from power in the national capital by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Speaking to the media, Anna Hazare said, "I have always been saying that a candidate's conduct and thoughts should be pure and life should have sacrifice to secure the faith of the voters.
"I told this to Arvind Kejriwal repeatedly but he didn't pay heed to it. Instead, he focussed on liquor for the sake of money. He got carried away by wealth."
