It's Aam Aadmi vs Neta, not Modi vs Rahul: Kejriwal

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) founder Arvind Kejriwal spoke about the challenges faced by the party in the context of the upcoming Assembly elections to be held later this year and Parliamentary elections of 2014. Kejriwal was speaking at an event organised by Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti (CYSS), a students' organisation that supports AAP, in North Campus at Delhi University on Monday.

Kejriwal said: "In six months, we need to do what Congress did in 100 years and BJP in 40 years."

Expressing optimism about upcoming general elections, Kejriwal said, "Everyone is saying that the next election will be Modi vs Rahul. According to me its going to be aam aadmi vs the neta (ministers). The youth of the country have risen against corruption. I think this country is changing and the upcoming election will reflect that change."

Criticising the UPA government over the VVIP chopper scam, Kejriwal said Obama had rejected the AW-101 choppers saying they were "very expensive". A "rich nation" like the US found it too expensive to afford, and yet our ministers wanted to travel in it, he said.

Kejriwal also pointed out problems in several Indian laws. He said, "Many people believe that our laws are good, but the implementation is faulty. But this is not true. Our laws are wrong and they help the corrupt."

UPA's proposed Lokpal Bill also received flak from Kejriwal he said Lokpal is a toothless body without investigative powers. "It will receive complaints and forward it to the CBI, which the UPA has complete control over. This is Manmohan's 'strong' Lokpal," Kejriwal said.
