Ridge between members of Anna Hazare widens

Anna Hazare's aides, anti-corruption activists, Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal had begun their assaults agains the corrupt governments but there gap between the members seemed to grow farther apart while Kiran Bedi takes the side of BJP government claiming that their support is required. Arvind Kejriwal on the other had is against both the parties, Congress and BJP.

Bedi was not seen at the Sunday's protest outside the residences of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and BJP leader Nitin Gadkari. She said that the political alternative they aimed to provide to the people was not going to be achieved in a single night.

Kejriwal said that of their two goals one one to prove the association of Congress and BJP who are corrupt together, and the second one is to establish the dictatorial nature of the government. He said that BJP and Congress do not point out each other's mistakes.

Kiran Bedi begged to differe saying that Arun Jaitely, Sushma Swaraj, LK Advani and Nitin Gadkari were receptive to our suggestions. She added, "Arvind and Bhushans had several meetings with them. And they agreed to support in some ways, not in all though. But at least they were not dismissive as the ruling party." She questioned that their co-operation must be recognized and accepted.
Kejriwal, acknowledging the differences in their opinions said that Bedi was under the opinion that BJP would still stay the same after it rises to power and that they are working to convince her that she was under the illusion.

He also told the media talking about his differences with Anna Hazare,  "TV channels are showing videos of people wearing 'I am Arvind' caps. This is very unfortunate. Anna Hazare is our leader. I respect him like I do my father. He is our leader am just a soldier."

Can the now defunct Team Anna members make a difference in exposing the corrupt side of the governments is something we have to wait and look forward to.
