Was Lokpal money spent on Delhi polls, Anna asks Kejriwal

Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal today denied that financial donations to 2011’s massive anti-corruption campaign fronted by Anna Hazare have been spent by his party on its campaign for the Delhi election. If he is found guilty, Mr Kejriwal professed at a press conference, he will not contest the election which will be held on December 4. Mr Kejriwal said that he has received a letter from Anna, who he described as his guru, asking him to clarify whether the funds they raised during their crusade for a law that creates a Lokpal or national ombudsman have been diverted.
