Kejriwal taught a lesson as he opened liquor vends: Hazare

Mumbai: AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal was doing a “good job” as Delhi Chief Minister, but he started opening liquor vends and faced the people’s wrath as a result, activist Anna Hazare has said.
He said a woman, Rekha Gupta, becoming the new chief minister of the national capital was a matter of pride.
As chief minister, Kejriwal should have set an example before society but went astray, said the octogenarian activist whose anti-corruption movement is credited for the birth of the Aam Aadmi Party.
“The earlier CM (Kejriwal) was doing a good job and became Delhi chief minister thrice. I did not speak anything (against him) as he was doing a good job. But then, he slowly started opening liquor vends and issuing licences. Then I got upset,” Hazare said.
Hazare, notably, is known for a staunch opposition to the consumption or sale of liquor.
Kejriwal was once Hazare’s associate in the anti-corruption movement, but the two parted ways after the former formed the AAP in 2012.
