"It has been 75 years of independence. In these 75 years, we achieved a lot, India gained a lot but there's anger, a question among people that several small nations who attained independence after us, surpassed us. Why did India lag behind? Every citizen is asking this," the Delhi CM who is also the convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party asked.

Kejriwal also appealed too the people of India to end communal hatred and spread love. This is not the mission of any party. BJP-Congress should also come together and all patriots should join the mission he said. We have wasted 75 years fighting against each other. Now 130 crore people should come together and make India number one, he also said.
