Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal on Sunday read out a letter from her husband at the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) rally held at Ramlila Maidan in which he sought the cooperation of 140 crore Indians to build a new India. In the letter, Mr. Kejrwal said that Mother India was in pain as despite being a great country rich in resources and culture, India is still a backward country.
“I am in jail, here I get a lot of time to think, I get broken sleep at night. I think for Mother India. Mother India is very sad, Mother India is in pain... Let us together create a new India, the India of the dreams of 140 crore people, an India where every person will get enough food, every hand will get work, no one will be unemployed, no one will be poor, no one will be illiterate. Every child will get a good education, whether rich or poor, every sick person will get good treatment, whether rich or poor,” Mr. Kejriwal’s letter said.
He added that he was taking the liberty to give these six guarantees to the 140-crore people of India that will be implemented in the first five years on behalf of the India alliance if it comes to power. He apologised to the INDIA bloc partners that he did not get to discuss these guarantees with them before announcing them as he was in jail.
