The AAP leader said he and his colleague Kumar Vishwas would go to Ralegan Siddhi tomorrow but not share the dais with him and sit among the audience, as Hazare had said he would not be sharing dais with any political leaders.
"We whole heartedly support Anna Hazare and are with him physically, emotionally and financially. Tomorrow, I and Kumar Vishwas are going to Ralegan Siddhi. But, respecting his sentiment that he won't share dais with any political leaders, we would be sitting among the audience," Kejriwal said, while addressing a gathering of volunteers.
Braving the cold weather, 76-year-old anti-graft crusader began his fast on Tuesday at his native village in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district.
He had made it clear that he will not end his protest till the anti-graft law is passed. Hazare is fasting near the Yadavbaba temple in the village under the banner of 'Jantantra Morcha'.
The AAP leader, who has defeated three-time Delhi Chief Minister in December 4 elections, termed the present Lokpal Bill as "Jokepal Bill" and questioned that was is it the same Lokpal Bill the which Anna wants.
"If the government passes this Bill in Rajya Sabha, then you have not accepted the common man's view and this Bill won't put a check on corruption but promote it... It would be a joke on the people of the country," Kejriwal said.
