One thing that is great about India is the freedom to speak and the spaces available in our democracy to protest which doesn't exist in many places in the world.
— Arvind Kejriwal
We are not entering into politics to acquire power.
The representatives of people become uncrowned kings and queens once they get into Parliament.
We want to spread the movement and want people to join in. Any one who is against corruption should join, be it Baba Ramdev or the common man.
Khap Panchayats are a group of people who come together. There is no bar on people to assemble in this country.
I don't agree that the Somnath Bharti incident has been an embarrassment.
It is a British legacy that we have such a strict hierarchy that we can't even write a letter to our PM.
Actually, no one is born honest or corrupt.
I completely disagree if someone says that corruption of junior government officers should be overlooked.
MPs are basically bonded labourers of their parties. And it is the party high command of each party, which takes decisions.
People like Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, who have spent Rs 500 crore to build their brands, will take that money back from us only. How can they deliver good governance?
Our kids are our biggest assets. They are the future of our country. If we provide them good education, no one can stop India from becoming a developed country.
Providing good education to all citizens is necessary if India wishes to be counted as a developed nation.
We fought against British not because of the color of their skin but also because of the exploitative character of their government.
We have police stations for the poor but CBI, CVC and CAGs for the rich with nearly nil recovery of ill usurped wealth.
We have a democracy of elections to elections. After winning an election, the parties become brazen and arrogant. They would do all wrong things and if you question them, they would say - why don't you change the government next time? But that would be five years later. What do I do right now? I am suffering right now.
Doing politics over water is not good as people from Punjab and Haryana are also our own like that of Delhi. Everyone should get water.
We need to work out what kind of systems of governance we should have.
When you are running the country it means you work for the poor people. It doesn't mean you siphon off money of disabled people. It does not mean you allot public property like coal for free to rich people.
We, alone, can't change the country. We should do it together.
No one can create a movement. No one can create a Gandhi.
I want to remain a common man, want to spend time with my family.
We have ended the VIP culture in Delhi. We made additional night shelters for the poor. We have started the anti-corruption helpline. We are impartial and are not against anybody.
Why should the PM be placed on such a high pedestal? That an ordinary citizen should not even have the guts to write a letter to the PM?
AAP was formed to expose the Congress's scam. We could never think of an alliance with the Congress, but to fight the BJP we have to think of something like that.
Lots of people tell me I am straightforward.
We have never said that we want to challenge the institution of Parliament.
If you walk on the path of truth all the powers in the universe help you.
It is easy to talk about development. However, it entails painstaking efforts to actually make it happen.
Many people say that we have sufficient laws in our country, just that they are not implemented properly. I completely disagree with them. I have studied many of the laws very carefully. We are still being governed by the same colonial laws which existed in British times. They have not been changed. Many of these laws need to be changed.
The CVC and CAG are independent but merely recommendatory. The government often ignores their advice.
No one gets punished for corruption in our country.
Indian polity has failed to provide solutions to the common man's problems.
My children feel proud of me. Since their father is honest, they have nothing to be ashamed about.
We have to make the bureaucracy accountable to the people. It is not something esoteric, it can be done.
I am an ordinary man.
We never said that we don't have faith in Parliament. We have great respect for Parliament.
No person can fool all the people all the time.
I am a man in a hurry. We have to work both from office and roadside. I am impatient.
I have not flouted any rules on transfers or posting.
I will keep repeating, that if you find me guilty of corruption then take the strictest action against me.
No alliance can be formed on Twitter.
This democracy is not by the people, of the people, for the people. This democracy is about by the party high command, of the party high command, and for the party high command.
Our aim should be to not allow a single corrupt politician or even a family member to enter the House.
I'm diabetic.
There isn't a single developed country which does not have its citizens well educated.
Economic growth and 'future superpower' status is all very good but that doesn't guarantee dignity for every individual.
Our anti-corruption systems have inherently and intently been kept flawed.
Right to Information is a small concrete step in making our polity more democratic.
At the heart of all problems lies the politics of the country.
