Activist Anna Hazare, renowned for his anti-corruption stance, praised AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal's early achievements as Delhi Chief Minister. However, Hazare voiced disapproval over Kejriwal's introduction of new liquor vends, a move that stirred public backlash.

Mentioning the recent leadership change, Hazare lauded Rekha Gupta's appointment as a matter of pride for the national capital, asserting that her rise was due to her 'pure thoughts and deeds.' This shift suggests changing public sentiment against Kejriwal's controversial policies.

The AAP government's excise policy, which caught the attention of investigative agencies like the CBI and Enforcement Directorate, was a key factor in Kejriwal's political decline. Once allies in the anti-corruption movement, Hazare and Kejriwal have now diverged in their paths.
