Comparing West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee to former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare on Wednesday said that Mamata had made more sacrifices and lived a simpler life than Kejriwal. "Mamata lives in a simple flat even when she is CM, while Kejriwal opted for a bungalow after becoming CM. Even in their personal life Mamata lives more simpler life than Kejriwal," Anna said. "I support Mamata as an individual because of her thinking and sacrifices she had made. I do not support her party," said Hazare while clarifying his stand. He said Mamata's economic policies and planning centred around villages, while the policies of main parties like Congress and BJP are centred around big companies, which he believes is responsible for economic problem of the country.
Criticizing Kejriwal for deciding to fight the general elections and quitting the post of Delhi CM, Hazare said Kejriwal is in haste. "Anything made in haste cannot last long," said Hazare adding that Kejriwal should have first showcased a model of governance in Delhi and then announce his participation for the 2019 general elections. "How wise it is for a CM to sit on protest on road and cause inconvenience to its own people," questioned Hazare.
On the candidature of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for PM post, Hazare said, "He (Rahul Gandhi) needs little more experience. Right now he is not mature enough." However, Hazare believes that neither Rahul nor Narendra Modi would become a good PM because their economic polices are similar and in favour of big corporations.
