Arvind Kejriwal, the top man of the Aam Aadmi Party, released its manifesto for the national election today, and underscored the party’s focus on combating corruption and decentralization of politics.
The manifesto promises swift punishment for corruption, a law for a Jan Lokpal or anti-corruption ombudsman, a citizen’s charter that will punish officials who don’t finish work in time, decentralisation of power and self-rule.
Kejriwal, who made a stunning debut in the Delhi assembly election in December with promises of clean governance and cheaper water and electricity bills, quit as Chief Minister in February, after failing to push his Jan Lokpal Bill.
Police reforms are also on AAP’s agenda after several clashes with the Delhi police during its 49-day rule.
