On Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's stand leading to withdrawal of ordinance protecting convicted legislators, Kejriwal said: "On Tuesday, the cabinet approves the ordinance. Manmohan Singh alone does not have the courage to do so himself. It is sent to the President, and within 3 days, it is withdrawn. They themselves draft the ordinance, and themselves tore it up. Do they think the people of this country are fools?"
On Rahul Gandhi's promise to bring about changes in the system, Kejriwal said: "The Congress has been in power for the last 10 years. They could have changed the country, but in the last 10 years, they looted this country."
Asked why Anna Hazare was not with him, Kejriwal said, "Anna thinks politics is dirty and muddy. We said, we want to change the system from inside. Rajneeti (politics) is a good word by itself. Men like Patel, Nehru left everything to join politics, but today 'rajneeti' is mere 'dalaali' (brokering)".
'I was a commissioner in Income Tax. An ordinary IT inspector normally makes Rs 1 crore in a year. As Commissioner, I could have made crores and travel in a car fitted with beaconlight. But I left service, and decided to serve the nation', said Kejriwal.
