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'.
