Arvind Kejriwal taking charge as Delhi chief minister.
Chief Minister
Arvind Kejriwal has a plan. To catch government officials who ask for bribe red-handed.
In his first speech after being sworn in at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan today, Mr Kejriwal said, "If anyone asks for bribe, don't say no. Set it up and alert us. We will give you a phone number and we will catch the officer red-handed."
It was at Ramila Maidan that Mr Kejriwal became a nationally-recognized figure in 2011 when he flanked Gandhian Anna Hazare who fasted for 13 days to demand the new anti-graft law that has just been cleared by Parliament and births a national ombudsman or Lokpal.
His Aam Aadmi Party was born out of that anti-corruption movement. Mr Kejriwal's main election promise for the Delhi elections, the first his party has ever contested, was that he would rid the capital of corruption.
In his 20-minute speech today, he made the crowd take a solemn pledge that they would never give or take bribes. "We must promise we will never give or take bribes," he said.
"I promise I will never give bribes or take bribes," he said and asked people to repeat after him.
