Kejriwal wishes AAP workers on party foundation day
New Delhi (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the Aam Aadmi Party, which celebrated its 11th foundation day on Sunday, saw many ups and downs but with the love of the citizens it recovered and became a national party.
Addressing the gathering, the Delhi CM said his party will continue to move ahead with ‘strong determination’.
“On this day in the year 2012, the common man of the country stood up and established his own party ‘Aam Aadmi Party’. From then till today, there have been many ups and downs in these 11 years, many difficulties have also come, but there has been no decrease in our spirit and passion.
Today, this small party has been transformed into a national party by the people with their love and blessings. The blessings of the public are with us and we will all continue to move forward with our strong intentions and work for the public, he wrote in a post in Hindi on Twitter.
AAP was founded on 26 November 2012 by Kejriwal out of the 2011 India Against Corruption (IAC) movement, a citizens’ movement against the backdrop of corruption scandals that emerged during the UPA government.
He decided to form the party on this day because the Constitution of India was adopted on this day in 1949.
“Best wishes to all the workers on the foundation day of the party,” Kejriwal said in his post on Twitter.
