Rift in Team Anna is getting thicker day by day say sources. The anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare must have been perturbed with the growing indifferences between the members. The main man in controversy was Arvind Kejriwal, who heads the Public Cause Research Foundation (PCRF). In a recent bid another prominent activist of the team Kiran Bedi has written a letter to the misuse of funds in the PCRF.
Anna today at Pune revealed the letter issue and said, “She (Bedi) has written an email to me saying that funds are not being handled properly in Arvind’s NGO. I spoke to Arvind by phone and told him that this was wrong and must not happen henceforth,” Hazare said. The veteran downplayed that he had ever written a letter to Kejriwal.
However a section of media had earlier quoted that a letter was doing the rounds amidst the volunteers of India Against Corruption in this regards. The letter cited to be from Anna to Kejriwal stated, dated May 3, “I have received an e-mail from Kiran Bediji. She has written that it is necessary that a budget of the PCRF be prepared. The budget should have details about how much we are going to spend on different things. The money being spent on the PCRF staff is a lot. The money has been donated by public, and we must spend it carefully.” (With Inputs from Internet- Aarkay)
