New Delhi: Twelve days after his split with Anna Hazare, activist Arvind Kejriwal is all set to formally enter politics on Tuesday with the announcement of a political party.

Kejriwal and his key aide Manish Sisodia will make the announcement at a function scheduled to be held at the Constitution Club in New Delhi today morning.

The vision of the party, Constitution and selection of members and candidates will be stated at the function, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanthi.

In a bid to reassert their commitment to Lokpal agitation, Kejriwal will also announce the appointment of an internal Lokpal to probe cases of impropriety.

Yesterday, Kejriwal and Sisodia met Anna Hazare, who was in Delhi to chalk out his future course of action with regard to an apolitical anti-corruption movement.

Hazare has been opposed to the movement turning political and parted ways with the pro-party group led by Kejriwal on September 19 after a meeting in New Delhi.

The veteran activist had attacked the Kejriwal-led group, saying they had not responded to his questions on how to present a political alternative to the people in the fight against corruption and dubbed the path of politics as one “full of dirt”.

Kejriwal earlier said they were not entering politics to acquire power as politics is yet another tool for strengthening of the anti-graft movement.

The proposed party is likely to first test its strength in Delhi Assembly polls in 2013, skipping Assembly elections of 2012 in BJP-ruled Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.

Earlier, the Kejriwal-led group had decided to form a preparatory committee consisting of 80-100 members, including some retired judges, to chalk out the details of formation of the party.

It was also decided that an internal Lokpal, having retired judges as its members, will be constituted to ensure internal discipline within the party. The preparatory committee, however, was not formed despite the plan of having its first meeting on August 26.
