Earlier in the day, Hazare slammed Kejriwal saying that power induced intoxication had made him deviate from the ideology and ideals of the movement that led to the creation of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Anna Hazare wrote, "This is the first time I am writing to you after you became Chief Minister. The recent news about the Delhi government on the liquor scam is disheartening."
Unlike the first two, the third mass movement has no leaders. Events have shown that the enactment is dangerously divisive, and the CAA is the forerunner to the National Citizenship Register and National Population Register which the government is committed to implement. Once implemented, the nation could witness the largest statelessnes crisis the world has ever witnessed.
'Today is the Constitution Day and today it is also the foundation day of Aam Aadmi Party. This is not a coincidence,' said Kejriwal in his tweet.
He said the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi "is only misleading the people of the country and leading the country to autocracy" and added that the BJP-led Maharashtra government was speaking "lies" over the past four years.
The 81-year-old was awarded the third-highest civilian honour of the country in 1992.
Attacking the Modi government Hazare on Tuesday said the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Bill 2013 were passed five years ago but the Centre was delaying it again and again.
Attacking the Modi government he said, “Lokpal kanoon bankar 5 saal hogaye aur Narendra Modi sarkar 5 saal baad, baar baar bahanebaazi karti hai. Ye Narendra Modi sarkar ke dil mein agar hota toh kya 5 saal lagna zaruri tha?"
“The Narendra Modi government first said that Lokpal could not be appointed as there was no Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha (who is to be part of the selection process) and later it said there was no eminent jurist in the selection committee,” said Hazare.
