Activist Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday unveiled his “Aam Admi Party (AAP)” with an inaugural don-ation of `1 crore from former Union minister Shanti Bhushan and an objective to change the “rule of politics”.
Incidentally, the AAP borrows its name from the Congress slogan “Congress ka haath aam admi ke saath”. Mr Kejriwal later told reporters that Gandhian activist Anna Hazare has blessed his party and had wished him luck.
In a meeting involving 300 founding members, the name Aam Admi Party, proposed by Mr Kejriwal, was adopted along with the party constitution which has the proclaimed aim of establishing “swaraj” and “decentrailisation of power”. A 30-member national executive was also elected and included Mr Kejriwal, Mr Manish Sisodia, Mr Prashant Bhushan, psephoplogist Yogendra Yadav, Mr Gopal Rai and Mr Mayank Gandhi.
Ruling out indulging in the politics of allian-ce, Mr Kejriwal said: “We are not entering politics with an aim to capture power. So we will not have electoral alliances with any. We are here to change the rules of politics. Our objective is not solely to contest elections but to establish the rule of aam admi.”
The AAP constitution says it will have an internal Lokpal and Lokayukta and the option of “right to recall” against its office-bearers.

You are showing dream to Aam Admi. Do not disappoint them. I wish you good luck.
We are very proud to have persons like you in India who has exposed Prime minister, Sonia gandhi nephew and Rahul Gandhi's brother-in law Robert Vadra, gadkari, Salman Kurshid looting our public money and not providing efficient service to public. We have heard about developed countries where PM, president and ministers resigning from the post and making public service clean of corruption if any allegation against PM or president or ministers is made. But in India, the corrupted rulers are continued to rule and making further prevailing of corruption. Please make India corruption-free and choose sincere leaders who will honestly work and respond to Aam admi and prove that democracy is for the people (aam admi) and by the people (aam admi) and turn India into developed country.
