New Delhi: Two
prominent members of Team Anna, Magsaysay award winner Rajendra
Singh and Gandhian activist P.B. Rajagopal, Tuesday resigned from
the movement, citing Arvind Kejriwal's allegedly autocratic
decisions and the political activities of the group.
"I dissociate from the team. The team is turning political. There
were statements indicating that, including on Hisar," Rajendra
Singh told a TV channel. He added that Kejriwal was "taking
autocratic decisions".
"I have sent in the letter (to Anna Hazare) expressing my
difficulty in continuing in the team. They have told me not to
take any decision like this. I am in the midst of an all-India
yatra," Rajagopal told reporters in Kerala.
Team Anna member Kiran Bedi told reporters here that the two who
had left "were volunteers who come and go".
Earlier, Swami Agnivesh and former Supreme Court judge N. Santhosh
Hegde had distanced themselves from the anti-corruption movement
led by Hazare.
