New Delhi, Oct 1 (IANS) Veteran activist Anna Hazare Monday said he would campaign for his former Team Anna colleague Arvind Kejriwal if he contested elections against union minister Kapil Sibal.
“I will tell Arvind, fight elections against that man from Chandni Chowk, what is his name… Kapil Sibal,” Hazare said at a press conference. Sibal, who represents Chandni Chowk constituency in parliament, holds the portfolios of communications and human resource development.
“If he fights against Sibal I will go and campaign for him,” he said.
“So far, I have not found any faults in Arvind. He has sacrificed his family life to serve society,” he said.
“I have no differences with Arvind… Why should we have any difference? They want to contest elections, I don’t,” he said.
Kejriwal was a key member of the Hazare-led Team Anna that launched a spirited campaign for a stringent anti-corruption Lokpal bill. They parted ways after Kejriwal announced the launch of a political party.
The party will be launched Tuesday, Gandhi Jayanti.
