"No," Hazare said at his native place Ralegan Siddhi in Ahmednagar when asked by reporters if Bedi had consulted him before joining BJP.

Asked if Bedi was in touch with him, the anti-corruption activist said she had not been to Ralegan since the last agitation over a year ago and she had not been in touch with him.

"She did not call me or talk to me before taking the decision to join BJP," Hazare said.
