Following the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister in the excise policy case, social activist Anna Hazare on Wednesday said that he was upset that Arvind Kejriwal, “who used to once work with him and raise his voice against liquor, was now making policies.”

He said his arrest was because of his own deeds, adding that, “Nothing works in front of power, everything will happen as per law.”

This is not the first time Kejriwal has been at the receiving end of Hazare’s criticism. Ever since the duo had a fall out over Kejriwal’s political plunge in 2012, Hazare has been disapproving of the Delhi CM.

Hazare had said, “I hope no Kejriwal comes out of my movement again.”

In a hard-hitting letter to Kejriwal, Hazare accused him of being “drunk on power” and not being “a man of his words”.

On Thursday, the AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal was arrested in an excise policy case by the ED.
