Arvind Kejriwal misused Lokpal agitation funds: Anna Hazare in video

published on November 20, 2013

New Delhi: A day after social activist Anna Hazare reiterated that his name should not be misused by Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), a video has emerged in which the anti-corruption activist is seen saying funds collected during the Ramlila Maidan protests were being misused.

The video of a closed-door meeting, recorded in December 2012, shows Anna saying he was disappointed with the way the over Rs 3 crores collected during the Ramlila agitation in his name for the Jan Lokpal movement were being misused.

The AAP, in its reaction, described the video as part of a smear campaign to discredit Arvind Kejriwal, who is leading AAP’s battle in the December 4 Delhi Assembly Elections.
