Kejriwal likens his 49-day rule to ‘Ram Rajya’

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday likened his 49-day rule in Delhi to ‘Ram Rajya’ even as he tried justify his decision to quit as Chief Minister, saying he had made a mistake but it was not a crime.

“Our government slashed electricity tariff and gave 20,000 litres of free water to every household. During our tenure, we brought down inflation. But most importantly, we brought down corruption which Congress and BJP could not do in 65 years. During our 49-day government, people used to say that Ram Rajya (welfare state) has returned,” he claimed while addressing a rally at Vivekandpuri in Sadar Bazar Assembly constituency here.

Kejriwal further claimed that his government had done more work than what the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre had achieved since coming to power.
