Shortly before the meeting with Kejriwal, Hazare took a pot shot at the Delhi CM and praised his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee for her simplicity.
Hazare told reporters that Mamata wears slippers even after she became CM but some persons take bungalows despite promising not to do so.
Hazare, who had Kejriwal as a key figure in his anti-corruption movement in 2011, has had differences with the Delhi CM over formation of Aam Aadmi Party, after which the two parted ways.
Hazare said that from March-end or the first week of April, he would travel across the country to search for good persons.
