2. Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal part ways
Gandhian Anna Hazare who had sat on a fast in Mumbai towards the end of 2011 drawing poor crowds, parted ways with his close associate Arvind Kejriwal, after the latter sat on a fast in Delhi in March this year, but the government did not relent. Ultimately, Kejriwal and his associates decided to enter active politics, and towards the end of the year, floated the Aam Aadmi Party.
Kejriwal began to make sensational expose almost every week,over Robert Vadra's land deals, Nitin Gadkari's shell companies, and offshore black money accounts.
Later he concentrated on Delhi's local issues like higher electricity rates with an eye on the forthcoming assembly polls. On the other hand, Hazare confining himself to his village Ralegan Siddhi, decided to tour the country to “awaken” the people about corruption.
