New Delhi, Oct 1: On the eve of the launch of his political party, activist Arvind Kejriwal Monday met Anna Hazare in the capital for the first time since they split, and said that although their paths now diverged, their destination was the same.




Kejriwal, who is set to launch his political party Tuesday, on Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary, said there is no rift between him and Hazare.

"Anna is in Delhi, so I naturally had to meet him. Our ways are different, but our destination is the same. I have told Anna that I will support him in all his movements," Kejriwal told reporters after the meeting.

He blamed the media for trying to project a rift between him and Hazare.

"There is no fight. Our relationship and communication will continue, we will keep meeting," he said.

Kejriwal said that Hazare would not join his political party.

"He has already said that he will not be part of it as he thinks politics is not the right direction," Kejriwal said.

Hazare arrived in Delhi Sunday to meet activists to decide the future course of action in the campaign against corruption.

According to Hazare, politics cannot combat corruption. He claimed that he did not find the answer in the political alternative proposed by the Kejriwal-led group.

Hazare and Kejriwal parted ways last month and Hazare banned use of his name or photograph by any political outfit.
