Amid the recent political upheaval in Delhi, veteran social activist Anna Hazare expressed contentment at the electoral defeat of Arvind Kejriwal, as reported by Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) successfully toppled the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) by winning 48 out of 70 seats, with Kejriwal among the notable losers.

Raut seized the moment to question Hazare's silence on the corruption allegations that have surfaced against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government over recent years. He pointedly asked why Hazare remained silent during instances of alleged corruption under Modi's leadership.

Furthermore, Raut criticized election procedures since the BJP assumed power, claiming victories are achieved through manipulation and financial influence. He suggested that an alliance between AAP and Congress could have altered the Delhi election outcome. Meanwhile, Hazare reiterated his belief in the importance of integrity and blamed Kejriwal for focusing on monetary power.
