Arvind Kejriwal to Launch A New Political Party Today


Kejriwal met Hazare in the capital on Monday for the first time since they split and said that although their paths now diverged, their destination was the same.

"Anna is in Delhi, so I naturally had to meet him. Our ways are different, but our destination is the same. I have told Anna that I will support him in all his movements," Kejriwal told reporters after the meeting.

He blamed the media for trying to project a rift between him and Hazare, and explained that Hazare would not join his political party.

"He has already said that he will not be part of it as he thinks politics is not the right direction," Kejriwal said.

Hazare arrived in Delhi on Sunday to meet activists and decide the future course of action in his campaign against corruption.

Hazare had parted ways with Kejriwal on September 19 over the issue of the launch of a new political party. He has also banned the use of his name or photograph by any political outfit.
