“He was my colleague in the fight against corruption... At that time, I felt the educated, new generation could help rid the country of graft. But it was a big dream -- and my dream lies shattered,” Hazare said in an anguished note.

Hazare said when Kejriwal launched the (Aam Aadmi Party) political outfit, it was the Lord who gave him wisdom to keep away (from Kejriwal) or even “my reputation would be ruined”.

“Since then, and even after he became the chief minister, I never felt a desire to meet him. Now, I understand why he always used to address me as his ‘Guru’. The Lord has saved me,” the 79-year-old said in a statement from his village Ralegan-Siddhi in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra.
