"I am a little saddened by Anna's support to the government Lokpal Bill," Kejriwal said addressing a press conference here on Sunday.
"May be Anna is not completely informed about the bill. When we meet him we will try to explain him about the loopholes, Kejriwal said.
"Anna's health is very important for the movement and the country and he should immediately end his fast," the AAP leader said.
The current Lokpal will remain under govt's purview, Kejriwal said.
He slammed Rahul Gandhi and said the Congress is misleading the nation on lokpal.
"The Lokpal Bill in its current form, won't send a mouse to jail, forget a politician," Kejriwal said.
The net result of passing this Lokpal is that Rahul Gandhi will get some credit, Kejriwal said.
Arvind Kejriwal, who was part of Anna Hazare's original movement for Lokpal, stressed the need to bring the CBI under the purview of the new corruption watchdog.
Arvind Kejriwal said that his party will continue the struggle to craft a better Lokpal Bill.
The Aam Aadmi Party has raised questions over the Lokpal Bill being pushed forward by the government.
The party has made it clear that the Lokpal Bill in its current form is unacceptable to them.
The bill in its current form will not stem corruption, AAP leader Prashant Bhushan said.
