AAP not against capitalism, but against crony capitalism: Arvind Kejriwal at CII-17/2/2014
New Delhi: Arvind Kejriwal yet again chanted the anti-corruption mantra when he was expected to spell out the Aam Aadmi Party's economic policies at the Confederation of Indian Industry meet in the capital on Monday.
Addressing heads of corporate houses, he said, “When corruption ends, cost of doing business will go down and employment will be created.”
Largely perceived as an anti-industry party owing to its run-ins with discoms and large business houses, Kejriwal tried to make AAP's stand clear over economic policies ahead of the General Elections and said he was 'not against capitalism but against crony capitalism.'
He counted his achievements during his party's 49-day-long tenure in Delhi while assuring CII members that countering corruption was the only way out and AAP's actions were indeed justified. The former Delhi CM said, “We ordered an audit in power companies within five days and people say we can't govern.”
“Independent surveys have said corruption in Delhi has gone down,” he said pointing out the efficacy of his methods.
Kejriwal blamed misgovernance in the country and spelled out the need for radical reforms. “We are first class citizens victims of third class governance,” he said.
“We may have made mistakes. Our policies may be wrong. But our intention is right. We want to make a new India,” he said. Reaching out to the corporates, he added, “Please join us and help us when we are wrong, be a part of our movement.” more

Not a bad idea! After all AAP is not just for confrontation but also conversion-changing dishonesty to honest. more

It is true. The hard core business houses, they feel they are above the law. The Hon'ble Supreme Court judges are using very harsh words, which we are finding in the news papers. But the response from sahara group is trying to dodge the matter. Any way thanks for your response. more
