"Arvind Kejriwal reached the village this afternoon, while Kiran Bedi and Prashant Bhushan will be reaching tomorrow morning," Hazare's close aide Datta Awari said over phone from Ralegan Siddhi.

The meeting is being held in the backdrop of Hazare making public his displeasure over the government "targeting" his team members. Bedi, Bhushan and Kejriwal have been served breach of privilege notices and Kejriwal has also been slapped with Income Tax notice.

At the meeting, Hazare and the core committee members are expected to discuss strategy on current issues, including the notices issued by the Centre.

On September 2, while addressing a gram sabha meeting at Ralegan Siddhi, Hazare had launched an attack on the UPA regime, saying half of those in the government were liars. He had singled out Union home minister P Chidambaram, describing him as 'mischievous'.
