Arvind Kejriwal

I never imagined in my life that I will fight elections or form a political party.

I want to request Modiji that you cannot accomplish nation-building by disappointing the government employees.

I will involve everyone to make Delhi an ideal state.

I want to tell the law and order machinery not to spare anyone who indulges in unlawful activities.

I respect Kiran Bedi, she is like my elder sister.

I want to make Delhi a place where people of all religions feel safe.

There are a large number of institutions in this country which we should not politicise.

We feel that the government should not interfere too much in private sector.

We are against crony capitalism.

People are sick of the political system and the players in the system - BJP, Congress, Akalis. They want a good alternative and those who can deliver.

Life remains the same for me. It's always been a battle against injustice and corruption. That battle goes on.

Everyone should have enough to be able to eat and sustain their families. I'm not saying everyone should become extravagantly rich but everyone should have sufficient food and good education.

Yes, I do believe in karma. In my childhood I was a believer.

There cannot be any company or organisation where 100% of the people are sadhus or mahatmas.

They say Kejriwal fights a lot. Yes I do, but not for my wife or children. I fight for your rights. So you tell me, should I fight or not?

Education is the antidote to poverty.

I am not a terrorist, I am a former chief minister.

I accept I use bad language, but I speak from the heart.

Contrary to what certain sections of the media have been reporting, there are no differences between Swami Agnivesh, Kiran Bedi and me.

If someone thinks that education, health, infrastructure all are different sectors and issues and they ought to be fought independently, then they are mistaken. There is an underlying pattern in the process. And that is bad governance.

In fact, the media should not be run by the government at all.

I am not against privatisation of the media channels but I stand for a strong regulation and transparency.

Movements live on a day-to-day basis.

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.

We need to work out what kind of systems of governance we should have.

I have seen my parents struggle with meagre means to run a family. That's why giving free and good education, free health services, water, electricity, public transport and safety of women are my top priority.

I think the economics of this country is intricately linked to the politics of this country and the two cannot be separated.

You need your private space.

Too much of power has got concentrated in the hands of the Central and state governments.

There is a perception that anganwadis are merely places where food is provided to children.

We want people to tell us the possible steps that can be taken to save ourselves from the harmful effects of air pollution.

Delhi becomes a gas chamber every year with the advent of winters, mainly due to stubble burning.

A lot of people has lost their lives due to indiscipline on the roads.

Congress as well as BJP candidates are in the pockets of Adanis.

Even if AAP wins municipal elections we will continue to demand probe into EVM tampering because it threatens the base of democracy.

Hatred will only breed hatred.

Only love can heal hatred.

It requires guts to leave the chair of chief minister.

We have to make the bureaucracy accountable to the people. It is not something esoteric, it can be done.

Corruption has to be removed from the whole country.

When ordinary people come together, they can upset the mighty.

I want to appeal to all people to come together across the country and stand against this politics of corruption.

When I used to fight against the corrupt system, my wife ran the house and my mother supported me.

My job is to change the system so all of India can shine.

Indians are first class people suffering from third class governance.

We play politics for the good of our people.

It's the public which decides its Chief Minister. We live in a democracy.

In a democracy, people are supreme.

Individuals do matter and personalities matter in politics. But if issues are sidestepped due to personalities, then that is very dangerous.

Leadership is important in politics.
