”I am trying to say that all the people who have joined us are working for the country and not for power. Our motto is not to stay in power,” he said.
Asserting that he did not want AAP to become a “power centre”, the Chief Minister said, “AAP is not important in the long run. In the long run, AAP should vanish. It should not exist after we reach out aim.”
Kejriwal was sharply critical of large sections of the media and demanded that funding of the media houses should be made transparent.
”Ordinary journalists are very good. At reporter level, at the middle level, patriotism is there in everybody,” he said adding that in many media organisations money played a role which cannot be overlooked.
He said that he had heard that big industrial houses had huge stakes in some TV channels. “It should come out who is having how much stake in which channel.”
Another point was about political leanings of the media.
”A channel is owned ny a Congress MP. So there should be statutory warning like the one on cigarette packets that this channel is owned by this political party so that the public decides whether it wishes to watch it or not,” he said.
