BARWANI: Criticising Delhi chief minister and former AAP colleague Arvind Kejriwal for joining hands with JD-U’s Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav for upcoming Bihar assembly election, Swaraj Abhiyan leader Yogendra Yadav on Monday said the move is like writing obituary of “anti-corruption movement”.

“Sharing stage or having direct or indirect alliance with leader like Lalu Yadav, who is symbol of corruption, is end of the ideology on which AAP was formed,” said Yadav adding that AAP leaders might have compromised with the ideology but the grass root workers, who had joined the movement and then party to fight against corruption will not accept it.

Yadav, who was in Barwani to participate in on going indefinite protest of oustees to protest against increase in height of Sardar Sarovar Dam, said AAP has reduced to be regional party of Delhi, which is only dealing with the local issues of Delhi. “By supporting Nitish-Lalu alliance in Bihar poll, AAP has projected itself as a regional party which has no national vision,” said Yadav adding that he is working on national issues of farmers and their right and he do not find it appropriate to dedicate his energy to think about a regional party (AAP).

He said the person who was fighting against corruption till yesterday, will now be spotted with Nitish and Lalu. The days are not far when he will be flanked by other leaders, whom he had termed corrupt during movement.

Meanwhile, referring to the Vyapam scam, Yadav said it is impossible that those in power did not have any knowledge of such irregularities. “Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shviraj Singh Chouhan must resign on moral ground,” he said. He went on to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for allegedly acting against the interest of farmers and poor. “Modi’s government represent the interest of corporate,” he alleged.
