The 76-year-old Gandhian invoking the holy text Gita suggested the new government serve the society and the country with a “selfless motive” and “not think of the results”. “The ultimate aim of politics is to serve (‘seva')... to serve society, to serve the country, and ‘seva' (service) means selfless service.
“Whatever one does in politics, do not think of the results and that is service and that is the worship of god,” Hazare said.
Dressed in his usual aam aadmi avatar, Kejriwal in his speech promised to the people a “corruption-free government” and new style of governance without “arrogance of power”.
“Kejrwal has not become CM today or these people have not become ministers today. That was not our aim. It is 1.5 crore people of Delhi whose government has been formed today,” he said to a resounding applause at a jam-packed venue.
The two had parted ways last year when Kejriwal decided to form the AAP. Their ties has soured during the Delhi Assembly elections, when Hazare asked Kejriwal not to use his name in the campaign posters and pamphalets.
