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.
