Newly-formed Swaraj Abhiyaan today said they might not ask anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare to get associated with them at this juncture fearing the personality cult projection, but might approach the veteran activist in future.
"In future, if we might have a desire to have him (Anna Hazare)...we will request him to be with us and guide us. But right now we have not approached him," Swaraj Abhiyaan leader Yogendra Yadav told PTI in Goa, where he is on a private visit and will also meet local leaders.
If we do so, Swaraj Abhiyaan, a group formed by expelled AAP leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, would be accused of harbouring personality cult like any other party including AAP, he said.
Responding to a question, Mr Yadav refused to judge the performance of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on the scale of one to ten.
"As a matter of fact we have made it a policy of Swaraj Abhiyaan not to comment on everyday affairs of AAP.. Media loves it but we won't comment," he said.
Mr Yadav said the demand for full statehood for Delhi is justified.
Replying to another query, Mr Yadav claimed AAP leaders have compromised but that does not mean the volunteers have.
"It is not the ordinary volunteer who has compromised. AAP movement has some of the finest social activists.. they have not reconciled with corruption.. Their spirit has to be kept alive," he said.
"I came to know that I was expelled through television channels. I have written to the AAP disciplinary committee to send me the letter of expulsion which they have not done," Mr Yadav said.
"But you also remind yourself that you have set out to walk on the path difficult, this has to be long journey, one stumble is not good enough to stop a long journey. One fall is a reason for you to say all right, I need to be more strong.. for me the small stumble is a reason why people like me put in extra energy," he added.
