The common man of India does not want corruption.
He wants to lead an honest life...
but the system of our country is such that we cannot function without bribery.
This entire system must be reversed and...
politicians & officers start reporting directly to people, is what we aspire for...
Everyone, get ready to work.
We bow to our motherland!
Victory for Mother India! Long live the revolution!
We bow to our motherland! Victory for Mother India!
Long live our revolution!
We bow to our motherland!
This time as well, Aam Aadmi Party will seek public donations to contest elections.
We know that some parties...
tie up with country's select few...
and get thousands of crores to contest elections
And if these political parties ever win... they serve those few people only
I...
first of all... accept this "I-Fund Honest Party" Challenge.
By contributing rupees 10,000 as donation to my party.
And, I am hereby inviting 10 people to offer donations to my party...
Following their confirmation... they are....
First one is... Mr. Rajeev Bajaj...
...India's leading industrialist and my good friend
Gul Panag, who is a film actress and also connected with the party
Dr. Vipin Mittal... my family dentist... is also a neighbor... and my friend
Hong Kong based NRI, Mr. Amit Agarwal
Dr. Munish Raizada... who is an NRI from USA and my friend.
The PM shamed because of Sonia!
Long Live Anna Hazare!
Anna Hazare group thank you...

I am Anna, you are Anna, now the entire nation is Anna...
If you support the anti-corruption movement please join us...please join us...
Don't wait...you need to join this group
We all are against corruption...

If you support corruption, stay wherever you are.
We bow to our motherland!
Victory for Mother India! Victory for Mother India!
My name is Munish Raizada...
I moved to the USA in 2003 and settled in Chicago...
I am a doctor by profession, driven to reform my motherland as well.
In 2010 when the Anna movement sparked off,
just like millions of other Indians...
I too thought that the country can be corruption free.
Then in 2013, I quit my medical practice...
and through the Aam Aadmi Party,
I decided to pursue my dream of transforming the system so I came back to India...
and started working to bring a change in the political culture of the country.
I have been an Arvind Kejriwal fan. Let me share a few instances...
The same Mayur Vihar where Anna ji had gone,
I went to the same place for the first time, one midnight.
I saw Arvind sleeping on the floor over a bedsheet.
I asked Arvind where to sleep?
He asked me to sleep on the floor.
I was reluctant to sleep on the floor as I am not used to it.
But I admired him for being down to earth.
When Arvind asked me "What can you do for me or the country?"
By chance, I said that I can even sweep the country. At that time the party didn't have any symbol...
I said, 'If required I can sweep the country and even sacrifice my life for the country...
but you will have to assure that no one should cheat us, and become MLAs & MPs...
or this party will be like Lalu Prasad & Mulayam Singh's party.
I met Arvind for the first time in 2006...
when he was working on an RTI.
For a park related issue which was also a playground,
and it was handed over during Sheila Dixit's reign.
So, the RTI draft was to made to show how and why...
the park was acquired & portrayed as an electricity grid.
For that purpose, I met Arvind for the first time and he helped me in drafting the RTI.
I think I read somewhere or someone told me that there is no candidate for Chandigarh.
So, I messaged Arvind that, "I believe you are looking for a candidate for Chandigarh...
I am interested so, "Can we meet?" And he said, "Come right now".
And I happened to be in Delhi that day.
We all practiced Vipassana meditation twice a year...
Be it Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, myself and even Prashant Bhushan.
We did Vipassana sessions regularly, during winter and summer vacations.
After Vipassana sessions Arvind would become more aggressive.
So, we joked saying that he didn't follow the Vipassana procedure properly.
The best thing God did for mankind is that...
I can't read your mind and you can't read mine.
Yes...
God did it for a reason because if we knew each other's hidden agendas,
then the entire nation would have been in jeopardy.
So, what was going on in his mind, how could I tell?
This is good or else things would have gotten worse.
So, how could I know what was in his heart?
Corruption will fall, with Kejriwal ...Kejriwal
I strongly opposed this slogan.
I told all the senior leaders of the party, that with this ideology we cannot fight corruption.
So, I asked them to rephrase this slogan as,
"Corruption will fall by one and all"
5 Years of Kejriwal!
I request everyone to remain calm.
The movement felt like being in a trance... all because of Annaji
In that hypnotic state of mind, we simply kept moving forward.
And in that hype, we took a man like him, from Jantar Mantar and placed him on Delhi's throne.
By constant hammering of the slogan "Kejriwal for 5 years"
We just blew off their minds
I think you are referring to their poster boy, Mr. Naveen Jaihind...
that in Haryana he used to constantly attack you.
Yes, he would privately tell me that this man is a fool and he has no brains.
He also insisted that neither should I listen to him nor should I entertain him at all.
On one hand, he spoke against him, and yet he was working with him. This was a daily practice.
This is Aam Aadmi Party, Dallas team. We support Aam Aadmi Party because...
it has the ideology, which Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh,
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan dreamt of.
No RTI means no vote. we will not vote the parties, who are not under RTI.
Every time after 50-50 years people are getting votes based on 2 Rupees worth of food grains...
But this time we want the system to change.
No one is a master, we are all servants of our nation.
If the idea of being a master overpowers you then things go wrong.
Right.
Thinking of yourself as a master is a mistake No one is a master, we all are servants.
Just like I am still serving the nation even at the age of 81.
India Against Corruption!
We bow to our motherland!
The first time line is from November 2010 to April 2011 up to Jantar Mantar hunger strike...
from the inception of I.A.C. up to the hunger strike at Jantar Mantar...
Then from Jantar Mantar hunger strike in April 2011 up till the Ram Leela Hunger strike in August 2011
Thereafter, from August 2011...
till September-October 2012...
was when our movement was split after which, Anna ji had also quit the movement.
Later I convinced him to return from Ralegan Siddhi,
back to Delhi as the nation needed his service...
the volunteers needed his leadership,
and after that the phase in 2012, when this party was formed.
by this time I guess, most of the initial members had left.
So, let us know that when the Anna movement sparked off,
that time I guess you had a full-time professional job and you also had a celebrity status...
where typically people cash in on an audience during public appearances
So, how come you jumped into this full time?
Right now, you are sitting exactly at the same place, where the genesis of this revolution sparked off...
It was a day before the Holi festival...
We sat down to eat right here, on this first-floor lobby of my house...
We were three of us...Arvind, Manish, myself...
& Rauf, our childhood friend from Pilkhuwa, had come...
he is a common friend of Manish as well... We studied together in grade one...
He had come as he usually celebrated Holi-Diwali with us, while we visited him during the Eid festival...
This was our routine program...
So, we were sitting here & discussing...
all that was happening at the Commonwealth Games...
The scams had already begun... which must be opposed. But how?
Because in our country... people don't raise their voice & come forward...
So, I told them that there is no point in just thinking & talking about it. Let's make a plan!
And if everyone present feels that we must at least try to make an effort for our country, then let's just do it.
So, I went to my daughter's study room...
and tore 2 pages from her math book... and we started working on it.
Then Arvind said, "Sir let me do it". And he jotted down the plan.
And it was concluded, that if the Lokpal bill is passed it will certainly curb corruption.
Because all other agencies are compromised, including C.B.I & E.D. So what to do?
Even in court, justice gets delayed. If you file a case it could take 30 years to resolve
So Lokpal was the only solution But what is Lokpal?
Lokpal can unfold many possibilities but it has not been implemented yet.
So, then we decided to consult Anna Hazare...
And at that moment we called Anna's assistant.
Mr.Suresh Pathare...
We asked if we could speak to Anna? He said, "I'll check as Anna is busy with someone else."
I asked him to call back when Anna ji is free? While we were eating we received Annaji's call.
He is the next Gandhi of our nation...
Anna Hazare is a storm in another form!
Imagine a massive black & white poster of Mahatma Gandhi...
and in front, Anna Hazare is sitting on a white mattress.
When you see the image from a distance, you see that Mahatma Gandhi is holding Anna in his arms.
Long live our motherland!
Victory for Mother India!
We bow to our motherland... We bow to our motherland!
Long live our revolution...
If we all unite our force will be in billions...
I am Anna, you are Anna, entire nation is Anna."
People of the entire nation have gathered here in support of our movement...
and today is the 9th day, but nothing has happened to me yet.
Today Jan Lokpal's three issues...
have received support with regulations, from the parliament
I express my gratitude and congratulate all the members of the parliament.
Victory for Mother India!
Kejriwal for 5 years...
I Arvind Kejriwal swear by the almighty... and solemnly affirm...
I shall have true devotion and allegiance towards the Constitution of India, established by law...
Victory for Mother India!
Kejriwal for 5 years... Kejriwal for 5 years...
Never be arrogant.
Kejriwal for 5 years... Kejriwal for 5 years...
Not all is lost, as now there is Hope.
Finally, we will be ruled by an honest party... Aam Aadmi party!
We will show what a democratic government can do? For the people, by the people, of the people.
Long Live Gandhi's India!
Victory for Mother India!
Kejriwal's government got embroiled in another Scam!
As the bus scam surfaced Delhi's transport minister Gopal Rai submitted his resignation.
Over a controversy of the app-enabled premium bus service.
Aam Aadmi Party in trouble over advertising scam!
Delhi's ACP orders probe against Manish Sisodia.
In the breaking news, Delhi's law minister Jitendra Tomar has been arrested.
and he has been taken for interrogation to Hauz Khas police station.
Tomar is accused for submitting fake documents of graduation & LLB degree.
CAG exposes Delhi's ration scam, similar to Bihar's fodder scam, shuttled ration via two wheeler.
Another 325 crore scam mushrooms, Kejriwal government collapses.
There were too many scams. It was an era of scams!
People used to discuss the Coal-gate scam, the 2G Scam...
And, they also discussed how the coal blocks were incorrectly allotted.
People also spoke about the Volcker deal, Scorpene deal...Air India Scam...
So there were plenty of scams, like the rice export scam
and the Adarsh scam...
Scams !!! Scams!!! there were so many scams and I knew all the details of these scams.
As a news reporter, it is my job to talk about these scams.
It's obvious for a news anchor to talk about the news And these scams were the main news.
We need to make our nation corruption-free. We have to stop this buffoonery.
Every day the poor people are being looted and this needs to stop.
when we have elected our representatives, they need to serve the nation...
and not their own business interest.
People never came to him for eternal revolution,
during the reign of the UPA government,
one by one so many nationwide scams...
surfaced which was the breaking news and it affected people's consciousness.
Welcome sir, please come...
Kejriwal for 5 years... Long Live the Common Man!
We were so motivated that after the formation of the party,
the volunteers in Chicago, USA...
organized a national level convention in May 2013...
in which Arvind interacted with the volunteers through a video call
So, you can understand that even the NRIs wanted this change and they expressed their solidarity.
Many people may not be knowing that the NRIs in America had organized a Dandi march as well.
My name is Kundan Sharma. I am from Delhi and by profession, I am a Software engineer.
I came to London for the first time in 2011 and went back to India in 2013...
with the hope to change the country. I am married and have 2 children...
I wondered how could I contribute while sitting far away in London?
So, I thought if I can't do much, at least I can help by contributing money.
So, at that time I was in London and my car was in Delhi and I thought it is of no use to me now.
So for the first time, I wrote a mail...
to Aam Aadmi Party stating that I have a car and...
you can use it, or else I can sell it and donate...
...the money to the party as that car is of no use for me.
Arvind Kejriwal responded to my mail in affirmation
and someone from the Aam Aadmi party office...
went over and picked my car from home.
So, currently, the Aam Aadmi Party Canada team is doing a call campaign.
So, we are sitting here in a common room around 1 A.M. So, there are a lot of people involved...
I guess there are approximately 25 people who are making calls sitting in different rooms.
So, you are making for Amethi or Varanasi? Varanasi...
Okay, you are also Varanasi, And you? Varanasi volunteer database.
Okay, volunteer database... and I guess you guys are for Amethi right?
And, here also we can see a lot of people making calls All right brother, okay brother...
So, we have chosen Amethi and Varanasi today, Oh my god, everywhere people are making calls.
Alright, That's great sir!
This is another volunteer Nidhi, I think she needs some energy.
Some snacks...
Last night also I think you were working till 4 A.M. I think, well I was also there till 4...
So, how many calls have you made till now? 11.
11... okay great, and this is me...
Well, can you see me? Hi, I am Sumesh.
Let me make your video... Okay Hi, I am Sumesh...
so, till now I have not made much calls, I am just coordinating.
How has your experience been Sumesh, so far? Oh, it's great. It's just great.
I mean no pleasure like this. I mean working for the Aam Aadmi Party, there is no pleasure like this.
I want to appeal to all the good men, organizations
and political forces of our country to unite.
We have got this historic opportunity to reform the country.
Come together and join hands with us, we will move aside and focus on you.
We should not have any egos... all of us should unite
Even in the existing political parties, many good people feel suffocated.
I want to tell them to, start a protest to reform the parties or leave them and join us.
We have a huge responsibility, that cannot be fulfilled...
by waving the tricolor flag & shouting slogans.
We have taken the burden of executing a huge task and by shouting slogans...
they will not evacuate the parliament... because this is a very difficult job.
Hence we have to work very hard day & night...
and we all must be very well aware of this fact.
I had completely shut down my business approximately around 2011 to 2015.
The distance between Delhi to Karnal is not too far, it is just 125 kilometers.
Annually, I guess... I went home just 8 to 10 times for one day...
to meet my family and children.
I gave 4 years of my time in Delhi.
Okay, so were you married at that time?
Yes, I am married since 8th December 2002.
But leaving behind family, children & business...
I only know how I handled their phone calls...
calls regarding school fees for my children
wondering how to manage the school fees...
Because the only thing in my mind was to save the country.
I gave everything in the fight to save the country and ignored my family.
In 2013 when Aam Aadmi party announced that they will contest elections...
I closed down my institute and shut down my business in January 2013 and came to Delhi.
I was here for one and a half years. I worked with them as a full-time volunteer...
and since I had a background of social and political experience,
So, I was asked to coordinate with the Lower House of the Parliament.
So, that time we were all thinking that Arvind Kejriwal is someone...
who landed down from the sky, through a parachute to do something for the country.
He is a brilliant manager.
So he managed everything and started this movement...
by joining hands with many eminent personalities from different fields.
We thought whatever Arvind is saying is correct and rest all are wrong.
We trusted him blindly and did many misdeeds.
But we thought we are fighting to save our country, so this is nothing...
as we wanted to reform the country and fight against corruption,
we felt it won't be possible without a party...
so we supported Arvind thinking that we won't be able to do it otherwise.
This was the first time I joined hands with a political party.
What the government could not do in 49 years, the Aam Aadmi Party was trying to do that in just 49 days.
It is another thing that was not implemented.
If I try to make changes like him, even I cannot do it so rapidly...
It just cannot happen immediately. It is impossible to see results quickly.
The 49 days government of the Aam Aadmi Party were great!
What Congress could not do in 5 years, they did in 49 days.
49 days are too less.
Aam Aadmi Party is very nice and Arvind is a nice man. He listens to everyone and especially the poor.
Aam Aadmi Party was very nice.
I liked the Aam Aadmi Party.
Somewhere it made me feel a little bit secure.
When you go out of the house there was no traffic problem...
& the traffic policemen were stationed everywhere
Everyone was so scared, that they folded hands and refused to take the bribe.
It was a great government!
I have always lived by...
and have unwavering faith in these principals... they are...
Participation... accountability...
Transparency... De-centralization...
& Integrity.
Arvind said," don't say anything right now,
as eventually we will bring accountability, transparency
and change the working of the party and bring good leaders."
No one wanted to remove Arvind Kejriwal and be a leader in his place.
Everyone wanted to work under Arvind Kejriwal's leadership.
if we don't follow our principles,
how can we expect others to follow them?
We want to establish transparency,
but if we are not able to establish it at home in our party,
how can we establish transparency...
in some other government institution?
We were losing these 5 principles.
We made the mistake of following the wrong man.
So many people were trusting this one man, Kejriwal...
so even I had no difficulty in trusting him.
because I thought that all these people live here itself so they know him very well.
So, what is the problem now? Where did Kejriwal go wrong?
According to me, when Kejriwal...
won the elections with 70 seats he changed his mind.
whether he thought about this earlier or not, no one can know...
this is something that only he can answer.
We can just express our opinions on this issue, but we cannot read his mind.
We are not professional politicians.
We are social workers. We gave time to this work...
by keeping aside our jobs and families.
It was our valuable time and...
this man used us for his personal gain and cheated us.
This is inexcusable and hence we decided to stay away from this man.
We sent him a notice to return the Aam Aadmi party logo...
that we had created and to stop using it henceforth.
Slowly the Aam Aadmi Party...
which started as a moral project, came to an end and collapsed
I am not saying that when I left the party it was over
because everyone believes themselves to be at the center of everything.
So, if I fall on the street the whole world will collapse. It is never that way.
But if you see in Delhi in 2015 before coming into power,
when the ticket distribution had started the realization had also started.
People raised their voices against what they saw inside but they didn't speak outside.
And after coming into power everything collapsed quickly.
They gave tickets to corrupt people...
we had hope in this man, but he is no good.
The whole world had hoped from him.
But what has happened is, that he was like a doctor fighting against severe disease,
but he succumbed to the same disease and got sick.
I remember this incident that happened during our fight to save the country...
when Aam Aadmi party won 27-28 seats in Delhi, I went back to Karnal.
I reached karnal at 4 P.M and I got a call from Delhi at 5 P.M.
I cannot name that person as currently, we are fighting a lawsuit against him in the court.
he called me and asked me to return to Delhi...
with my team of 5-7 people who were with me 24/7.
We reached karnal at 4 P.M. the next day after winning the elections.
We came back at 5 P.M and waited at the border.
Please listen to this carefully...
You left from Karnal at 5 P.M.?
Yes, we reached Delhi border around 6.30- 7 and on the phone, they asked us to wait at the border.
They asked our whereabouts, and we replied that we have crossed Sonipat.
They asked us to wait near Delhi border, so we waited there and took some refreshments.
It was around 7-7.30 in the evening.
We met a man who gave us two SIM cards...
and he asked us to put it inside the phone.
we did that and we got a call and they asked to call some people.
We dialled around 25 numbers and...
we clearly said whatever we were asked to say...
that we are calling from Nitin Gadkari's office or Arun Jaitley's office.
We had a list in front of us and we were doing as asked...
We were told that these men might join BJP,
so you must find out and let us know so that we can cordon off them.
And the funny part is that the place where we were having tea-coffee, there was a TV screen...
and we see that Arvind Kejriwal on TV...
He said that Bharatiya Janata Party is calling his MLAs
and trying to buy them, offering them 35 lakhs.
It was the first time I realized this and I was stunned...
that we are the ones doing this, and on TV he is saying such a big lie.
It was the first time I realized that we are doing something wrong.
Hello sir, I wanted to meet the Chief Minister.
He is not meeting anyone.
I can't meet him. How can I meet him?
I said he is not meeting anybody. He hasn't updated his schedule with us.
You can check with the administration officers.
If I want to meet him, how can it be made possible? There must be a way out.
He meets here.
Does he meet here or there?
He meets here, but you have to check with the administrative officers...
as I am for security from Delhi Police. You can go to gate-1 and ask?
Okay, can I meet Mr. Gopal Mohan who sits here?
he hasn't come in yet. he comes around 10-11, only they can tell.
Okay so, the security will inform?
No, not the security, the administrative officers. please go to 1 number gate and find out from there.
So, does the C.M. come here?
Don't ask me all this. Go ask there.
No, I was told that the C.M. comes here at Janta Darbar.
Right now Janta Darbar has stopped, the officers attend to people's problems related to medical etc...
No, I was told that the C.M. meets here.
Yes he does but not anymore...
Can you tell me when will he meet?
I can't say.
So, should I go ahead and ask there?
Yes, the officer will tell you.
Alright!
Hello sir, I wanted to meet the C.M., Mr. Arvind.
You can't meet the C.M.
So, how can I meet him?
the meetings have been stopped.
Till when?
I don't know.
