The Aam Aadmi Party's loss in the Delhi polls on Saturday triggered sharp reactions from Arvind Kejriwal's former colleagues in the party and in the 2011 India Against Corruption movement who blamed his "shift" from the idea of providing an alternative politics for the defeat. They also accused Kejriwal of shattering the dreams of those who supported the anti-graft movement. Maharashtra based activist Anna Hazare, who led the 2011 anti-corruption movement for a Jan Lokpal bill that brought the then ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) to the negotiation table blamed the liquor scam for AAP's defeat. Hazare, who was against forming a political party, parted ways with his protege Kejriwal after he formed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2012 following the movement. "With the liquor policy issue came money and they drowned in it. The (AAP's) image was tarnished. People saw him (Arvind Kejriwal) talking about clean character and then about liquor," he told reporters in Ralegan Siddhi .
