“My will or that of Yadav or Kejriwal may not necessarily be the country's will. What matters is what the country wants. The common man wants that India gets a prime minister like Arvind Kejriwal. He is a hope among the people,” he said. The AAP leader, who is overseeing the party's membership drive—‘Mein Bhi Aam Aadmi'—said although BJP won elections in four states last year, the Delhi assembly victory had an impact on the nation.
“In the five states that went to polls last year, BJP won in four while AAP won 28 seats in Delhi, but it had a huge impact on the whole country,” he said. He said people now feel politics is coming closer to them, which is why it is an important change.
The AAP leader said party members and Anna got along well because they shared a common ideology.
“We got together at Jantar Mantar... We had our own background and priorities based on our ideologies. “He has played an important role in giving this whole movement a new change in the country... it has been registered in history. On a personal level, all of us respect him,” he said.
Rai said the Lokpal Bill passed in Parliament was not the bill everyone fought for.
