Arvind Kejriwal is Indian politician and social activist who is Chief Minister of Delhi since February 2015. Previously served as Chief Minister from Dec 2013 to Feb 2014. He is the national convener of Aam Aadmi Party. AAP won 2015 Delhi Assembly elections with majority obtaining 67 out of 70 assembly seats. Kejriwal is Mechanical Engineering of IIT, Kharagpur & worked for Indian Revenue Service as a Joint Commissioner in the IT Department.
Here's looking at what makes the AAP chief 'Kejriwall'
The systems man
Kejriwal has in the past spoken well of the Delhi Metro. Unlike Indian Railways he says capital's metro service is not a sea of confusion and chaos. And that's because service has correct systems in place. He have a car but known to take metro frequently to work.
A man possessed
His energy levels are high & party colleagues say's he sleeps barely 4 hrs a day. Night before Anna Hazare's fast, he and other senior leaders spent night at Bedi's house. Colleagues say Kejriwal coughed through the night. The next morning, he nibbled at a plain toast, drank milk and was off to venue in flash.
Averse to ceremony
In the revenue service, Kejriwal was Strict, no-nonsense and absolutely upright. He refused to have peon and cleaned his own desk, emptied his dustbin and studiously avoided the office get-togethers. He does not celebrate his own birthday and those of his childrens.
First day lessons
On the 1st day of his job in 1995 in IRS, Kejriwal recalls what a sr. official told him: the 27 yr old was advised how to make money at start of one's career & then pretend to be an honest officer for the rest of his life. A shocked arvind Kejriwal said it impacted him & his career took, from a small bureaucrat to activist to politician.
Blunt talker
Delhi's CM has been provocative and outspoken in front of TV cameras, unbelievably blunt at times. Senior colleagues such as Prashant Bhushan hd been seen straining and trying their best to rein him in. Arvind Kejriwal of early days & now are somewhat different, he appears a lot more restrained & mellowed.
Movie buff
He is a fan of Aamir & admires his work & enjoys comedies as well.
Steel worker
Once out of IIT, He was in Tata Steel, Jamshedpur, and apparently liked the job. He admired hard work and sincerity the workers displayed. He served the company for 3 yrs & returned to Delhi as he wanted to take civil services exam. His dream was to join the police service, but he qualified for IRS.
Universe's power
On breaking his 2 week fast in April 2013, Kejriwal talked of what gave him the strength. If you walk on to the path of truth all the power in the universe will help you.
