First, Maharajas controlled the country. Then it was the colonial rulers. In recent times, increasingly corrupt politicians have taken over the reigns of India. Finally, for the first time, the common man rises.
Activist Arvind Kejriwal who split up with Anna Hazare recently said he will launch his own political party soon. With a Gandhi cap perched symbolically on his head, he stated that October 2, Mahatma Gandhi’s 143rd birthday spelled a big day for the common people who are tired of corruption at every level.
Despite the split with Hazare, Kejriwal reassured the public that there was no rift between them. He said that if they put forward a good candidate, Anna would support them. He said that the common people would fund them to fight the elections since they have lost faith in the existing political parties. The name of the party has not been decided yet but he would contest for the assembly election in Delhi next year. Kejriwal’s decision is supported by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) who said that all Indians had the right to contest elections.
