Hazare's massive rallies earlier calling for the passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill at the very same venue saw Kejriwal coming into limelight as a national anti-corruption champion before he took a plunge into mainstream politics calling for a “systemic change”.
The new Chief Minister in his 20-minute speech invoked his mentor Hazare, who he said had labelled “politics as dirty”.
“Annaji used to say that politics is dirty, but to clear the muck one has to enter the muck.... If we want to clean the system, then we will have to enter into this ‘dirty politics',” Kejriwal said in Delhi.
