Not so long ago, when
Anna Hazare was spearheading the Jan Lokpal Bill movement,
Arvind Kejriwal was his trusted lieutenant. The current Delhi CM could be seen at Anna's side in most of his rallies and was the de facto second-in-command of the movement. However, it is no state secret that the glory days of the duo's camaraderie are now behind them. Only last month, the activist had said that the 'hope with which (he) was looking at Kejriwal is over'. The rift between the two has widened to such a level that Kejriwal gave a royal snub to the makers of Anna's biopic when they requested the Delhi CM to make their film tax-free in Delhi, according to reports.
