Bhubaneswar: Social
activist Anna Hazare on Saturday said he will campaign only for
candidates put up by Arvind Kejriwal and ruled out the possibility of
supporting people from other parties.
"I will campaign only for Kejriwal's candidates," Hazare told reporters here. "There may be good people in other parties but who has the control?"
Criticising other political parties for indulging in politics in the name of caste and communities, the 75-year-old activist also accused them of practicing unfair means to collect donations.
He said other political parties collected huge donations from vested
interests and corporates but break them into amounts less than Rs 20,000
to hide the identities of the don rs.
He also accused political parties of being controlled by individuals.
"I know Kejriwal. He has not done anything for himself. He is doing
everything for the country," Hazare said, reiterating that he will
however examine the candidates and back them only the deserving ones.
"I will check them. If they are found to be good, if they are proper candidates, I will campaign for those candidates," he said.
The India Against Corruption founder is on a three-day Odisha visit since Thursday. He addressed students, farmers and others.
