New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said that it is his government’s dream to make Delhi corruption free. He vowed to take all steps to make Delhi first corruption-free city in the country.
During his address at Chhatrasal Stadium over Republic Day, Arvind Kejriwal said, “It is our dream to make Delhi the first corruption free city of India. I was not born in 1947, I was a small kid in 1977, but I am present today to see a revolution. If good people with honest intentions come together then it is possible to make India corruption free.”
Delhi CM claimed, “I do not say that corruption has been completely eradicated from the city in the last 20-25 days. But I have come to know that officials are now afraid of asking for bribe. The corruption has gone down by 20-30 per cent.”
He also said, “Anti-corruption officials have told me that all the traps laid by them to catch officials taking bribe red-handed are failing in the last few days. I want all the traps to fail and not a single officer should go to jail.”
“While coming here (Chhatrasal stadium) my car stopped at a traffic signal. Many people surrounded it. Many of them were auto rickshaw drivers and they told me that cops have stopped asking for money for the last 15 days,” said Delhi CM to substantiate his claim on decreasing level of corruption.
He also added, “This is not a small thing. It is a big thing. In this 65 years many governments could not remove corruption, but if good people come together with honest intention it could be eradicated.”
