Kejriwal sir, welcome.
When you went to jail, you got treatment. How did they get me? They tried their best. I am a sugar patient, and I want to break it. I have been taking insulin for 10 years. I stopped insulin for 15 days. Really? Did you feel at that point that it didn't come out? These people will give me the path if I follow them. He takes money from power and power from money. Then no one arrests me. Cancer is challenging the whole system. The whole is sitting to protect the system. Lawrence Bishnoi is in jail in Gujarat; he is imprisoned there, and from there, he comes here to Delhi. He is getting everything done inside. Where does he have a phone?
You went to jail if you're coming from a party. All top leadership arrested and jailed. So it's a little political case. Memon crime in Delhi today also. Unfortunately, the most common name in the police is Amit Shah. If G has it, then you are telling him as a Chief Minister you are doing nothing for Memon safety. I am doing what I can. I don't usually talk about wealth creation. I am giving some relief to the man by providing him electricity. I freed her for the good of her child. Schools were built; nation-building was better than this. The work of what could be behind each one.
There should be a revenue surplus, but year after year, Delhi is getting less and less lonely. There is a state in the whole country whose budget has a surplus of 800 thousand in Uttar Pradesh. There is a loss of crores or not in loss. I kept it. If you come back, then will you become CM? If you think I am honest, vote for me again. Three things I had said in the 2020 elections: that Yamuna will be cleaned, I will provide clean water for 24 hours, and the third, I will give you the roads of European standards. I couldn't do it, and what I will do in the next term.

Invite a political leader. Our only motive has been how we can find solutions to India's problems and provide valuable insights about future growth so that we can give information. For this, today's podcast is very important. Delhi's ex is with a political leader, Chief Minister, and the Leader of Aam Aadmi Party, Arvind Kejriwal.
In Delhi, every year, as the issues of women safety and crime increase, every day, 17 children and 10 females are kidnapped. That is why today we asked him to know which laws in Delhi have gaps and issues that he addresses. There are some things to do or some measures which are increasing the overall status of Delhi.
Apart from this, we also got information from him about the vision for the next 10 years. It is said that Delhi has become a world-class city. We are trying to build a city, but how? What is its reality, and how does it implement? We knew that it would happen. Recently, when Kejriwal sir was in jail, he was given treatment like solitary confinement. Why was it given, and what effect will this have on him and his party?
What about Financial Express and leadership? Can a state set an example for the whole country? How can other states solve this? Let's talk about it, but this episode starts before you do.

Hey, Kejriwal sir, welcome. Thank you so much for having me here. Thank you, sir. You gave me so much time, and I really like this approach that when I asked you, "Sir, is there something I won't ask you?" and you're like, "Nothing is free flow. Whatever you want to ask, go ahead." Very few people give you the opportunity, especially in the field of politics, where people control too much. I am so thankful to you for giving this opportunity.
Thank you. You know, before we start the podcast, I've been thinking about this ever since we decided to make a podcast. I was thinking about what I would ask. The first thing is that I did a lot of research, and you have a lot of supporters and lovers who have extreme love for you. Whatever you do, it feels good, and many more are opposite, meaning there is no sentiment in between. There wasn't any, so there was a lot of polarization. That's why I thought I'd ask you, what is the one thing that you feel is the most misunderstood about you?
People think they misunderstand you. Did I actually not pay much attention? I would have paid more attention to my work. I'm more of a colic, and I think this is an opportunity I have got. You see, in 2010, you had heard of me, right? There was suddenly an Anna movement. The public started to know, and suddenly a party was formed. Then suddenly, I entered politics by chance. I did not know that we would be successful.
How did you win? I think it's a lifetime opportunity God has given to people. If you have been given the opportunity, then stay here for as many days as you want, but we can do something good for the country. If it is for the people, then we do that much. People will keep on saying things like Dr. Manmohan Singh. He said a good line: "History will judge me more kindly than we are." History will judge what you are doing. Who is saying what about me today? I don't pay much attention to it beyond that.
You feel like you're doing the right thing, and when you are in public life, you should not worry about these things. Then who is saying what? If someone constructive criticism comes in, you can improve yourself, and you must listen so that you keep on improving yourself. You are not in an echo chamber. If you are hearing good things, then I definitely listen to that to improve myself. I will try to do it; the rest goes on.
But has it ever happened that you did something good, did the work, and then your team or people said that at the ground level, they perceived it the wrong way? Do you think I am doing a good thing? I was trying. This happens many times. Then I explain to people that I... During the course of the interview, remember something. When you come, I will tell you something immediately. I can't imagine that we did something to him. I have perceived it wrongly.
If I remember something, then I will tell you a larger narrative that will... It's around because you recently went to jail, right? If you go to jail, then people think you must have done something wrong. What happened? Do you think after that your image has changed? If we did something wrong, if it would have happened, I would have got something more than 500. Reed has arrested me. Manish arrested, Satyendra Jain, Sisodia arrested, Sanjay Singh, Vijay Nair was arrested, Vibhav, my PO has arrested him. All top leadership of a party arrested, arrested and put in jail.
And more than 500 raids have been done in a new... Money is nowhere in the Supreme Court or lower courts. I am asking him again and again, where is the recovery? Where is the money? If you guys say you are saying that there is a scam of 100 crores, 100 crores must be there somewhere in cash. There will be some property, some purchase, or some sale expenses somewhere. I did not get anything in these. So people, it's a purely political case.
Number one, unfortunately, I am in that case. The Supreme Court cannot discuss details. The court has put a condition that I will not discuss this case in public, but this will affect my image. The people of this country are very wise. She speaks less, but she sees everything. What is going on? A simple, honest man, a common man who is poor and does nothing for the people. I was trying to get a hold of him, implicated in a false case, and put in jail.
If my image would have been tarnished, I would have been... After coming out of jail, I spoke to the public. I went there and did a lot of walking, and as many people as I could. Means she is hugging me and doing her right. She is kissing, which means the public has gone mad. At this time, if the public misunderstands, I will tell you I have been very public.
One, the people can be harsh on you whenever they want. They can be very rude to you. If the public... If anyone was wrong, then the public would tell me on my face. She says, "Kejriwal, you have betrayed us. You have become corrupt. You came saying something, and if you had done anything else, the public would have told you on your face."
So this was their purpose, that my image as an honest person is to be thrown mud at. Beyond that, spoiling that image but not doing this. God bless me with the love of the people. You definitely don't think it makes a difference. It made absolutely no difference whatsoever. Some sympathy has been generated among the public. There's a lot going wrong with it in the middle.
When you went to jail, so what if I go now? Yes, I meet many women, old mothers. I meet someone who cries on seeing me. In front, that son, when you went, I was at home. I cried a lot and prayed that you would come back. When you went to jail, did you feel at that point, "Friend, I am stuck in the wrong place, and now they'll never let me go out?"
No, people, when I entered politics, it was then that I knew that the path I was taking, I have chosen this path. It is not an easy path. It's very difficult. If I follow their path, own takes money from power, fight for power and win, get lots of money every year, earn money, and then invest that money again, buy the votes, and win the election. We power with money, money with power. If I choose that path, there's no problem. Then nobody would have arrested me.
Then I would have been one of them today. I challenged the whole system. I am challenging the whole system. Today, if we fix the schools in Delhi, there was a huge education mafia. We are deliberately criticizing the private education system. Government schools are getting worse and worse, being spoiled so that people were forced to come and enroll their children in private.
When I became CM, we got government schools built. Before that, I remember not just in... This is a narrative created across Delhi and nationally being done that the government has no business to run schools or government can't run schools. If the government cannot run the schools, then the schools... This planning should be privatized. Commissions and all this and all this and all this, like that.
The papers were coming out in those days before I came. Before I came into politics, across the country, such papers were coming out that schools, hospitals, this should be privatized. The private sector, the government should get out of education and get out of health. My heart used to say that again there is government, then why are we paying tax? We pay taxes for the comfort of these people. Are you saying that this is again the government?
Will you tell me? Then I thought that it would be late. Certain areas which the government must do. You can pick any developed country and see. Pick up a European country and see, pick up Japan, look at the UK, and look at the health and education. It is excellent, is run by the government, and is in very good quality. It is free for everyone.
Then when I was not made, I used to think that these two things, health and education, are the responsibility of the government. There is a responsibility, and the government should give it. It should be given as it is, and it should be given for free. After becoming a good person, we should give it beyond that.
When we started working on education, government schools have done very good things. You will be surprised that 4 lakh children have taken admission in private schools, removed their names, and admitted in government schools. I went to the class and asked the children who all have come from private schools. Then many kids raised their hands. So I said to one, I asked which school you came from. He said St. Columbus.
St. Columbus is one of the best private schools in Delhi. St. Columbus, if any child is born after cutting off my name, then my private... A greater quality than this is coming to school. What could the statement be? So when we exposed this primary school mafia, I ended it. The same way in the hospital, there was a health mafia inside me.
Like I was in politics, I lived in slums before coming to India. It was next to the beautiful city of Nandanagar. GTB Hospital was a government hospital, Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital. People there, I used to take him with me when I got sick. The condition of that hospital was so bad. Bad condition. I was there in the hospital. The doctor would have prescribed it. There were medicines, but there were no medicines in the hospital.
I used to get tests done in the hospital. I used to write them down. There are no tests. There were machines, X-rays, etc. I would have written to you there. There were many shops outside the hospital. So you used to go there and buy medicine from the shop. And from there, the commission would go inside again. This was the setting inside. After we came here, government hospitals were given a makeover.
We have made them centrally air-conditioned, nice, clean, and now all medicines are available. Medicines are available, all tests are done, all the machines work outside. The shops are closed. Whose shop was this? Somewhere, someone from any leader, from any party, from these people, if there were public connections, then all the health mafia.
We ended the water tankers in Delhi. The tanker mafia used to be active. Now it is very private. At least I will give you an exam. Like the first almost 50 Delhi at 60 water was supplied through tankers when my government was formed. Today, 97% of the people get their water through pipelines. There are still three or four areas where even where the tanker goes, the pipeline is laid quickly.
But there is a very small, very small. Now we have exposed the tanker mafia. All these mafias, he won't sit quietly, and there are many more big ones. There was a mafia whom we demolished. Obviously, when you are walking down this path, this is the whole system to crush you. I am busy today, whether it is a party or not. Whether it's a party or whether it's a party, the only aim of the parties is the common man.
Destroy the party, destroy Kejriwal. It shut down our business; it shut us down. Whatever was going on, the system was working well. These were their systems. All those systems, he is demolishing it. So you said tanker mafia. I will do research on it. I was there, and I talked to a lot of people. I did not encounter many people while coming here. I talked to 10-15 people. They are tankers. Mafia is still a big problem for...
Tanker water should be available, and it costs Rs 5000. There are some areas inside, I told you that. But there are still areas where tankers go. And right now, we have searched the whole of Delhi. This one is inside a colony in Rajendra Nagar. Just now, we started the pilot three days ago. We inaugurated it and spent 24 hours there. Clean water will come straight from the tap.
If you can drink a glass of water from it, then I will... I went there and drank water from the tap, asked people. I asked, and they said water is available 24 hours. It started from here and spread all over Delhi. We are spreading it all over Delhi now. Water will be available through taps 24 hours a day, and clean water will start being available in Gujarat from 30.
For years, their government contested the last Gujarat election. We made education an issue in the elections. I said I will make your school good. I will educate your children. I will do well, so vote for me. The Prime Minister is there again. The Prime Minister went to a government school. I want to sit and take a photo with the children. They did not have a single school in the whole of Gujarat found a place where he could sit and get his photo taken.
They set up a tent. An artificial classroom was set up in a tent. I made it and placed four desks in it and had the net on it. I want to take a picture, place four desks in it. He placed three children on the seat, and she sat on one. There is a teacher sitting in front of him, and the window that is visible is not the window. That painting is the window painting of the tent.
Yes, there on top of the tent, the Prime Minister is taking a photo of himself while showing cares for education. In 30 years, he has become such a government that could not build a school where the Prime Minister could go and have your photo taken. This is the difference we are making in the lives of the people, which have happened in 2 years till date.
The work of the people, what do the people need, friend? A common man. What does a common man want? A common man wants, "I want my children to study." That's all. Or even a rickshaw puller. Even when the government schools were bad, he was sacrificing his income. You can get your child married in private. I tried to recruit him at one time. I will eat less, but my child will be able to study.
A common man wants to study and get a good education. What does the man want? A sick person in my house. Let there be good treatment, let there be electricity and water. Yes, till today, no one has talked about this. I did not even talk. No one talked about it. The first time we visited, I started mentioning things, and people lapped us up.
Brother, once 67 seats came, one bar 62 seats came. Doing something good, we will be there. But do you think that you are so... Everyone talks about more distribution. Your most important point in every campaign is your speech. There is wealth distribution, and now you also said the same thing that I am going to some like people good school, good this is good.
I want to provide water, good health care to everyone. But you don't talk about wealth creation. What do you think? Which economic... You will talk about the scheme. So I can tell you one thing. This will improve the economic state of Delhi. I will explain it to you. I am roughly a two in economics. There is a theory called trickle-down theory, which...
But till today, in the last 75 years, all our governments have... Whether it is this party or that party, the trickle-down theory works that you give all this to just a few top people. Give money to this country, and then we will set up this industry, and then this will improve the economy, and then it will drop, drop by drop, drop by drop, the poor access to man. It has not happened yet. Till now, this theory led to the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer.
The second theory is that the poor became poorer, and this stagnation comes the world over. Experience shows that it causes stagnation because demand in the economy decreases. The poor are getting poorer and poorer. Near the poor, we don't have money to buy. What can we do? Like when I came to Delhi, our minimum wages used to be around Rs 7000. We revised it and made it 13000.
What is the minimum wage in Delhi now? When we see money going into the pockets of the poor, if money goes into the pockets of the poor, then the poor goes to the market, buys soap and clothes, buys matchbox, buys kitchen utensils, buys household items, buys refrigerator, buys a sofa, buys a chair. If one buys food items, then the economy demand is created.
And when the economy demand arises, then new industry is being started. When will the industry stop? This happens when the economy is in the biggest trouble. There is stagnation when there is demand in the economy. It ends. Hello, take what I am saying. It's bottom-up what I'm doing. Demand is created within the economy, and the economy grows, and this ends the economy.
It doesn't happen the opposite of what I'm doing. T is the world-recognized method that you can use in any... Whatever kind of work you do, take the help of MNREGA. Doctor Manmohan Singh, who had come for MNREGA, the aim was to provide a small job to a common man. Money will go in his pocket, and when the mango... If money goes in the pocket of the common man, then he goes to the market and buys something else.
I am a common man who works in Delhi. I am seeing this in two directions. One side, I am giving relief to a common man. Inflation has increased so much that household expenses cannot be met. If I could, I made some electricity free. Do you know how much free electricity an MP gets? Member of Parliament meets. How much? Per 5000 units. What does he do? That brother, which one is he? It hits a big arrow.
Now, if I take one of my Aam Aadmi, I will give Rs 200 to a family in Delhi. There was an uproar when the unit electricity was made free. If I had gone, then I would have contributed 200 rupees in his life. That little money I saved made good schools for his child. This made his education free. What else can be a good work for nation-building? Nation-building can do better than this.
What work can you do for me in this world? Name one country which is a developed country and where education is not good. Without giving education to every child, can you? You can't make the country a developed country. Can't make an agreement that is the necessary, not be the sufficient condition, but this is necessary. You need to provide good conditions to every child in the country. Give education. I will have to do that.
I say it's free. I am also preparing my people. I am doing it, friend. I am investing in human capital. It's not an expense; it's an investment. I agree on which you... Then you are taking all these initiatives. There should be revenue surplus, but your estimation was... I was reading economic... The estimate for the survey was around 4966 crores will have a revenue surplus, but it is only around 3231 crores.
So surplus? So there is no loss in the whole country, right? First, like year on year, it is decreasing. The idea is not to create revenue surplus. The idea is to spend on the people's surplus. What will you do after doing it, and what will you keep in the bank? You will do money; more money will come. Then you will be able to... Just when our government was formed, earlier Delhi's budget used to be in deficit.
Every year, the CAG reports that since our government has been formed in Delhi, I am so... I am providing facilities, so-called give free seeds. I have been to good schools, made them good hospitals, made free buses for women, gave me free travel, made electricity free, so many... I built a metro, and I will come on it. What have we done? So much on infrastructure? Even after doing this, if my Delhi budget... Delhi is the only state that is not in loss.
There is a whole country whose budget is surplus. Everyone else is in deficit in the whole country. One in Uttar Pradesh worth Rs 800 crore. There is a loss every year, and no one knows how much. If I have accumulated debt, then if I have surplus 3000, I have a surplus of four crore rupees, and I am in loss. So I didn't keep the other one aside. I am providing facilities to the people. On the other hand, I am also creating infrastructure.
I am conscious of the fact that I was Chief Minister of the Capital City of Delhi of the country. We gave Delhi the power of the country. In 65 years before me, I built 62 flyovers. I built 38 in 9 years. Flyover, build Delhi Metro. 200 before me, I covered 450 kilometers. Before me in Delhi, they were negligible. CCTV cameras, I have 3 lakh CCTVs. I installed a camera in Delhi, and you know, you will be surprised about Delhi's CCTV cameras.
Density is the highest in the whole world. New York, Tokyo, London, most 1860 square miles, which is on CCTV camera, more than any other city in the world. Today, CCTV camera network, which we have first, I had 66,000 street lights in Delhi. 4 lakh street lights have been installed in 10,000 km. I have built 6800 km of new roads. I have installed a new sewer system of 4000 km that I have laid the pipeline. Did I tell you? Pipeline network laid water pipe 4000 km.
So on one side, we provide convenience to the public, also giving the other side of the city. But we are also creating infrastructure. Even after all this, if you say that so many CCTV cameras installed on so many street lights increased on Memon crime in Delhi today, the name comes the most in any country. Unfortunately, we don't have police. The police is with Amit Shah ji.
I wish we head Punjab. We have taken over Punjab. Crime should be reduced a lot in full state Punjab. According to India Today's own report, I think Punjab will be at second or third place in terms of lowest crime. When we had taken over, it was a complete gangster mafia. There are not that many gangsters there. I have controlled those people a lot. I have been caught and put in jail.
I can say that we have 100% improved that wood. B, very color statement to make quite a difference. There has been a lot of improvement, and if I say it is a different matter, but you of India Today hit search and see. India Today, this is the report which I think Punjab is second and third best. And you are telling that as a Chief Minister, you can do something for Memon safety. I can't do it. I'll do what I can.
I could have installed street lights. I could have installed CCTV. Whatever I could do, we deployed marshals inside those buses. There was a lot of impact. There was a lot of eve teasing in the bus. Pickpocketing happens inside the bus. There are a lot of them, so we just deployed marshals. Every bus had two marshals and a big one.
There is an interesting incident when a bus marshal saw a man who is a little getting down from the bus with the child, and the child is crying a lot. So the bus marshal suspected something was wrong and went downstairs. I followed him to the railway station. He caught that child and kidnapped him and ran away. I was just deploying marshals, so whatever we could have done it, but overall law and order situation is not in my hands.
Delhi police is not in my hands. It was just me coming from my hotel. I was watching the campaign at various places on the way. What is your campaign? They did not give what they promised, and now he is saying, "If they won't give it, then why didn't they give it?" Till date, people of Punjab will give Rs. 100,000. I will not let any of our terms expire. And if we don't give it, then the public will stop us from that.
You just came here on the way from the hotel. Did you see even one such hoarding of BJP? In which they have written that vote for us, we will do this. So BJP has given us half in Delhi. Government, whose is the remaining half? There are many things of this center inside Delhi. There are many things under us, but they are under us.
When I go among the people and ask for votes, I still ask for votes on my work. When I mentioned it to you, I didn't tell them anything. I didn't abuse you. I didn't give you anything. I told you I made schools and hospitals, built mohalla clinics, and built roads. We fixed the water network and made it metro. Till now, I have done my work. BJP 10 years, there is not a single work in... Did he just go and abuse me?
Yes, Kejriwal did not do this. Such a Kejriwal, such a... Hey, tell me about your work. No, I ask them what they will do next. They have absolutely no vision. We are unable to tell this. What will you do? Will you abuse Kejriwal further? We will abuse the country by abusing it. You will improve. I am counting my work; count your work. Do positive campaigns.
As many young people as you can see, are you explaining this in simple languages? Like you are talking about Central BJP. After this, BJP has half control over you. What does it mean to have half control? What are the powers that you have, and what other powers does he have in Delhi? Inside one of their... They have as much land as Delhi has. If you want to make a house inside, then make land inside Delhi.
There are many issues related to land use; they have it. Okay, so today inside Delhi, so many slum colonies are being built. Why is an illegal colony being built? Hey, because there is a severe impact of houses. A lot of people are coming into the city. People are aspirational; people want to buy a house. If you don't have a house, then it is an illegal colony.
Mushroom late R 177 1797 illegal colony in Delhi. Second, they have police, law and order; it's theirs. There is work. You see, today for the past one and a half, two... Within a year, Delhi gangsters, there are 11 biggest ones in control, gangsters of the country who have taken... Everyone knows about complete control of Delhi.
Please tell me their names here, who? Everyone knows that these are gangsters. The police also know; the Home Minister also knows. Why aren't those gangsters doing anything? In fact, why are you not catching the complaint? He takes action against him by arresting him, taking... There are many cases where people showed courage. They arrest him for complaining. So what is the message to gangsters?
The whole is sitting to protect. Which case was this of Delhi Police system? I don't remember the Delhi Police. Lawrence Bishnoi's statement is in Gujarat. He is imprisoned in Sabarmati Jail, and from there, he is getting everything done here in Delhi. How is he doing? Where does he get the phone from? Where does he have all the paraphernalia? It is coming from. How is he operating from Sabarmati Jail in Gujarat, owned by Delhi Police?
A statement came that behind this crime, or he is behind the murder, and he is there. How is it operating from? Secondly, 17 children are kidnapped daily in Delhi. On average, 10 women are kidnapped daily in Delhi. Getting on average in Delhi, three women are being raped. Where is BJP doing? What is the central government doing?
When you went to jail, how did you get the treatment? Why? It was different. It was very different. He tried his best to break me. Was I given almost like a solitary... What does confinement mean? Solitary confinement is given to dreaded terrorists when you're left all alone. You are not allowed to speak to anyone. So the whole day, from morning till evening, you are being in the cell. Yes, you are allowed to speak only to your security guard and only to the medical staff. No one else.
So what happens at 6 am? Your cell door opens, and the lock opens. If he goes, then the other prisoners would be free. How can they roam around and play with each other? Talk to each other? You can gossip in the group. I can sit all day, and then in the evening at 7:00, the lock is put again. But the water came. I was not allowed to talk to anyone. I was in complete solitary confinement.
That too, the mind spoils it. It jams me emotionally. No VIP treatment for the man. You got it upside down. It was completely upside down. This was the VIP treatment that he gave. Completely broken, like so many before me. Political prisoners also came. When they had visitors, they used to visit them. I was allowed to meet him in a room; they could sit across each other and talk to each other.
And I was not allowed to meet him. I am the one who... You have seen them in the movies, right? Are straight across them in the same way. It used to be that even Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab Chief Minister, never used to come to meet me. Then would be sitting on that side, and I would be sitting on this side. He was not allowed to meet me in a room. Many such things of mine.
These people stopped taking medicines for 15 days. I am a sugar patient, diabetes patient, and I have been taking insulin for 10 years. I stopped taking insulin for 10-15 days. Really? Or so I had to actually go to the court and take orders that I should be administered insulin. It isn't allowed, right? You can't do that. My insulin started reaching 350-400.
He said I kept asking for it. Yes, I am giving insulin. Then when I felt like giving it, it might be missed. I heard that Jai Prakash Narayan went during the emergency. When he went to jail, his kidney was fine, and when he came back after four months, both his kidneys were damaged. Then I began to feel that something was wrong. Then why aren't you giving me insulin?
I told my lawyers that in court, if you apply, they will help you in every way. I tried to break it in every way possible. I am blessed by God for trying. Geeta supported me a lot. I read it there, but when I was inside, someone... At that moment, I felt like giving up, my friend. I mean, how long will I last like this?
Think it's in my grains. Come, I'll give up. I can't give in against the injustice. I can't do it no matter what happens. When I will finish it, I get that. But you are in jail. I will again put all your senior leaders in jail, in those who operate your closes with the government, and that too in jail. He is again one.
There comes a moment when you again look at the top. You leave me. I was hoping you would come out. So you had to come. What is the expectation? Come out. I had done nothing. If I had done something, if I had done that, I would have joined BJP today. We would have made peace with them in NDA. I would have gone. Had I not done anything, Manish did not do anything, Satyendra Jain, if we hadn't done anything, we already knew it today.
If not tomorrow, then the day after, three months at least I have to come out for six months because anything... No, how long will the court keep us inside? You are confident. We are confident. Then you, when I come back, will you become CM? When I came back, I was asked to resign. There was no need for us to be late. There was no compulsion, yes, but there was one thing in my mind that, friend, no people about me, like you said, your image has taken a beating to me.
I had this in mind that what people think of me about. So I thought that if people mind, I think that Kejriwal is dishonest, then I should not sit here. So I declared if I did, I would make people think I... If I am dishonest, then I can't sit on the chair even for a minute. I will not sit; I am resigning. If you think I'm being honest again, vote for me.
You will vote for him again. I will accept this as a certificate of honesty, and I will sit again. If people vote for me again, then I will take the responsibility. But you will take, and you will set. But is not the Supreme Court's yardstick? You, CM, that small one from him, he too has changed. Conditions will change, and so will... There have been many obstacles; all the obstacles have been completed.
And people say that even though you are still the CM, no, you are, but you are called a super CM. The media calls you super CM. The people who say their work should be done, but is it not true? No, I don't think so. Atishi ma'am takes all decisions independently. Absolutely. Late is nothing that she comes to you and like gates.
There is no harm in consulting. You should consult everybody, so there is no harm in judgment. Consulting, but the final decision stops the buck. So you talk about what you were before and now. What should I do? I have made some statements. I had seen some things that people used to say. It seems that Kejriwal sir has lied a bit.
They also say that they turn back every few times. Let's take a U-turn. Starting right from... Let's to you. After Anna movement, came to power. Anna Hazare recently visited your... He said that you are power-hungry, be politically ambitious for that whole movement, which was a movement against corruption in the country. You played with the sentiments and your...
To empower personal political ambition. I will try. Do you think so, Anna ji? If he is a good person, then why should he say such a thing? Very naive person, and these people go to them and fill their ears. If Anna ji stays, then he has a design. No, the other side of the story they went. What will happen? Sometimes Congress goes to them; sometimes to them.
When BJP people go near me, they... If you get to know the side, then that will be the first thing that is truth. And Kiran Bedi ji also said the same thing. Kiran Bedi is openly in BJP. She is a BJP member, okay? And then all this that was with you. Now this is also wrong against you. Some people think it turns you off.
Look, first of all, they were our friends. There is also an institution; there is an organization. A company is an organization. Some people, when new people come, they leave. This sequence of coming and going continues, but definitely, I always feel hopeful. I hope the old people will never come back. Sometimes, and I really cherish those memories that I spent with them and hope to return.
Will come someday. Like you give statements. You made a statement earlier that I swear on my children that I will contest for Congress. I will not join, and then you shook hands. Then, Videm is not wrong because people think that you are against the Congress. You are against those who do wrong things. Then you step forward and extend your hand that let me go with Congress.
This is very... It was a big dilemma when we reached our seat. Our elections were held in December 2013. 28 seats came. Congress had got eight seats. This was also high. The guy did very good maths. There were 35 seats to form the government in Delhi. I want 36, sorry, I want 36 seats. We got 28. Congress got eight seats; BJP got 34 seats.
So we had decided that we will join the Congress. Without a government, the Congress went ahead and announced that we are ready to give our unconditional support. Kejriwal is ready to become CM and fulfill his promises. Complete it. We did not tell us to be with you. If you don't want to do this, then Congress said this.
The plaintiffs were false; he got scared, and I supported him. We are giving electricity. When we formed the government, we said we will make it free. Electricity should be free now. I can't do that. Water won't be free. Can I now put this big dilemma aside? They will not take support from us. On the other hand, others proving us wrong on our promises.
It is because Kejriwal is scared that these promises are false. It can't happen; it's not practical. Therefore, I am not making this, so I have told the public. He went in the middle and said it was open. It was me. I did not go to Delhi secretly. There were words in those days. I heard every word. I went to a public meeting and I said that I had sworn that I would be a member of the Congress.
Now Congress is saying that I will not take support. What do you want? You are the most important for me. What do you want? Should I form the government with their support or not? I want to form the government. 270 out of 272, it was almost like a referendum. 270 people in the meetings said that you form the government, and we will fulfill your promises.
Then I formed the government. The other thing that you had promised me that you would be a common man. All VIPs want to live like men. But you don't believe in cultural power. Still, 45 to 70 crores of taxpayer is yours. Security and your living expenses, it happens. No, no, it's all wrong. These are the figures that they threw in the market.
I want to tell you one thing. You are indicating towards the CM residence. Construction of the CM residence is the same. Are you talking? You said you will live a simple life, but you too. So that CM is living a powerful life. The residence that was there is not my residence. Number one is that of PWD of Delhi Government. The department made Abdul Kalam sahab was in Rashtrapati Bhavan.
They were in Rashtrapati Bhawan and say 250 or there are 300 rooms. That does not change the fact. If he was a simple man, then I am Delhi Government. I stayed in the CM House when I was the CM. When I was an activist, I was from Delhi. I used to live in a slum. When I was in income tax, I was the joint commissioner of the flat in Kaushambi.
When I lived in heaven, God gave me given responsibility according to that responsibility. I am living in the same house as I was in today. I am not the CM. I did not spend two days. When I get out of jail to clear, when I return to prison, how difficult it is in the dungeon. I would stay if I loved this house. Rest there for at least three to four months.
I would have done it like I came out in two days. I have vacated the house. But as a CM, do you think you should set up a president? Why are you spending so much? Reduce it. Build a small house, but it is not the one that figures. More than half of the figures being quoted are wrong. I don't know if that is it.
I can't get into the details of each and every item, but those figures are inflated. That which is being thrown at you by social media. I know that because the Economic Times, there was an article that a house worth 45 crores was sold for Rs 1 crore. Curtains worth Rs. 6 crore, marble and such. He had made a list, and that was, and again and again, many newspapers.
This is what came to me, and hence there is no... The reality is that most of the figures are colored. Then another thing, people say that you sanctioned 8500 crores were to be spent for cleaning Yamuna. No, we have to clean Yamuna; we will do it. But she is still as useless as ever. In fact, more dirty than ever as it was before.
So nothing has worked in it in all these years. I made a promise in the 2020 elections. I will clean the Yamuna in the next five years, 2024. No, yes, but within the last five years, first two and a half, Corona happened this year. After that, all this, he filed this fake case of jail. My entire team is scattered. Satyendra Jain, Manish Sisodia, then I went to jail.
So enough, there was much disturbance. Work has started on that. I think now the next... We will clean it up within five years. I believe you said that the last few... There was a lot of disturbance over the years. Is that the reason why your advertising budget has gone up? So that is the disturbance which is against your...
His image has been hampered by advertising. Where has your advertising budget increased? The advertisement budget has not increased from Rs 4200. These are another numbers, lots of news channels. So I don't know where these come from. Numbers that this... There was no advertising in the last five years. The budget has been reduced considerably.
So, sir, why these numbers? All of these keep coming in the news again and again. The numbers you are saying are not all wrong. Hara, almost 488 crores advertise. Your expenditure is Rs. 4000, 488 crores. Absolutely wrong. So this is not even for elections. There's nothing that you're doing absolutely wrong.
Why do you think then there is so much news? So many channels are created about you and us. The whole system is not under control; they are under the control of... That's basically the wrong figure for abusing to defame. Giving, like you were saying that why did you put me in jail then? There are many stories surrounding Kejriwal. What did he do? He ate up so much money.
So all this is to defame us. So many figures are being posted, so that is another thing which is a huge problem. If Delhi is polluted, then it is in Punjab. Crop burning causes a lot of pollution. It happens a lot, and you people have... I have not done anything. It is not a Punjab end Delhi problem; it's a North India problem.
A lot of stubble is burnt in UP. A lot of stubble is burnt in Madhya Pradesh. A lot of stubble is burnt in Rajasthan, Haryana. A lot of stubble is burnt in Punjab too. Stubble is burnt, so it is a pan-India, pan-North India problem. Pollution. So just like the central government did during the time of Corona.
Corona was not a state problem; it was a national problem. Yes, then he said a central government has taken it under control and dealt with Corona, and all the states cooperated. And then for us, we are all successful as a country to deal with Corona. In this also, I am... The center seems to have a responsibility.
We will have to be taken, and the stubble will have to be taken care of. Find the solution and give it to all the states so that all the states are with the center. We can solve this by coordinating. When you spoke about Punjab in 2022, our government was formed by taking into account the figures of 2021.
See, 60 to 70,000 farm fires. Late this year, there were 8000 or 9000 farm fees. Almost happened; it just came down. Substantively, we are taking making efforts, whatever we can, but alone in Punjab, it's not a big deal. It's a pan-North India problem, and all of us need to do that. Fingers point at each other; we all together should resolve this.
Again, you can claim you pretend that you are a common man. You are more VIP culture is not believed, and then your lawyer is Abhishek Manu Singhvi. They charge fees in crores. Where does the money come? He is a government lawyer, and he is the government's lawyer. The government gives the money. Now you will say why...
If she hires such an expensive lawyer, then we will lose the case. What is this? We also have our best lawyer. We will file the case. Why should the Delhi government lose? Why should we lose the case? We have won all the cases till now. I am the best lawyer that you think he is. Is a good lawyer; you are happy with him?
Of course, you talk about everybody. What is going on around pension? What's the story around that? Old age people, the pension has been stopped only for handicap. Have people received pension? No, no, no. This, when I went to jail, these people behind my back, old age pension stopped for three to four months. I had done it; it has come now after everybody's return.
Everything has been done; everyone has got their handicap. I have also got the widow's widow. I was getting everything else for the handicap. The shutdown of the people was also stopped; that too I had stopped it. I got the old age one too. Who had control when you went from behind? I had closed down a lot of systems.
You had derailed me. Tell me through LG what are your plans? Which two-three such... You are taking initiatives so that Delhi's business owners will benefit. People of Delhi will benefit in revenue. The most important step to move the economy forward. If I had looked at the women workers, I put money in my pocket. I am from Delhi.
If the economy grows, it will be because of these shopkeepers. If you go from here, then the stuff... You don't think everyone will be on sale. There will be more demand, and money will naturally increase. If we go, the demand will increase. The demand will increase. If the minimum wage increases, then people will increase it.
By putting money in the hands of the common man, this benefit is big. Money in the hands of top 2025 people put it, so what do they buy? Aeroplane, let's buy Mercedes, let's buy mangoes. Man does not benefit from the economy. The demand would not have increased. So what I did? Only the common businessman is benefiting from it.
Apart from that, we have inside Delhi. Now GST has arrived. Earlier, there used to be VAT. Instead of increasing the weight, we kept it continuously. We had reduced tax raids and almost stopped them. We don't raid inside Delhi. Have faith in us. We are trying to build systems. We do it so that there is no need to raid.
If you read this, then it will be a friendly one for the businessmen. The system gets to work easily. Is doing business in Delhi good or not? The more we have under our control, the better. Delhi is a complex system, yes, because if India follows global standards.
Let's talk. Everybody is saying that in India, now the next 10 years are ours, the next 20 years are ours. Yes, we have a lot of opportunities, but we rank very low in ease of doing business. If you correct yourself, then you are a chief minister. As much as was in our hands, we... The systems have been simplified as much as possible.
Things were in our hands. Can Delhi feel it? You think that Delhi has one window system. One window system will come in Delhi by then. Cannot come until Delhi becomes a full state. It becomes that many things are in their hands. Hey, okay, what are the other things you are doing so that we grow Delhi rapidly?
Delhi is a capital city. Delhi is like... Three things I said in the 2020 election. There was something I couldn't do, which I regret, and what I will do next term. I had asked to clean one Yamuna. Yamuna, I will make it clear. Secondly, I said 24 hours I will provide clean water in your tap. The pilot project has begun.
But now I will do it in the next year. And the third, I said European standard rules. I will give you clean and greenery on both sides. Horticulture, good roads, excellent roads I will give it to you. I will do it next year. So are you accepting it or you couldn't? Yes, I am assuming I am not in last year. I could do it next year because I have a plan.
I am an engineer; I am not a politician. This is my weakness, so I have to work on my... Get the electricity fixed from... Electricity first in Delhi. There were still power cuts for eight hours each. I don't have 24 hours. I am nowhere. Tell me where is some competition here? There is power cut 24 hours a day in Delhi.
There is electricity in my summer of 2014. Who remembers when the 8 and 10-hour power cuts? It seemed that I and my power were in Delhi. Minister Satyendra Jain stood up. Wires have to be replaced in Delhi. The change has stunned the whole system. Now, if there is 24-hour electricity in Delhi, then your next... What is the vision? Where do you see Delhi in the next 10 years?
I think we'd like to convert it into a world-class city. The city that everyone will be proud of. And today, he is not here. He is not here today, I accept that. And what is missing apart from... So many things are missing. So many things missing in a truly world-class city. What is pollution? There are roads. There is infrastructure. There is cleanliness. All these things we will fix it one by one.
You will be doing this, but next three years, next five years, I have these three. These three will do it for sure. Suppose you become the Chief Minister. What next? Do you feel that what is your biggest challenge? There will be something that will stop you from achieving all these goals. We are central in doing [music].
The government has to work with them. Work with them on many other things. Obstacles come; many things happen. Obstacles come, then we hold the feet of the beggar who has to cry for someone else other than them. No challenge, no challenge. Look, whatever I am talking about today, it's not rocket science. Which roads to build? Rocket science is the technology in the world.
Money is available; money is needed in Delhi. What is the government's intention to clean the Yamuna? So many rivers have been cleaned in the world. We will also give water. What is the big deal? How many cities in the world have no water? I have given it; I will also give it. So it's not a rocket science. Technology is available; money we need.
We just have this. This tussle has consumed our country. There is political tug of war. It's dirty. You think anyone else except you? There is a politician in the country whose intentions are Dr. Manmohan Singh is very clear. He was a very good politician and very honest. He was also highly misunderstood. Yes, do you think you are a successful CM?
But I feel you have done as much as was in your power. I did everything I could. I did everything I could. I did the best I could, and I did it selflessly. I did nothing for myself. When I left the house today, the day I had the CM in Delhi, no house to live in. Many people said that the CM remained CM for 10 years. I could have built 10 houses, but I don't have even one.
I had received offers from many people here and there. I was touched by their offers. Still, I am one of our... I am an MP and staying in his house. But would you do you not regret anything? To me, everything seems to be okay. Everything could be fixed. I did as much as I could. Everything is wrong; even the decision is wrong. It happens; the intentions were not bad.
And at what time? But it so happened that you felt that now I have no... Intention is only and only selfless. And now I want to become a politician, and I have to grow up. And when I grow up, I will become more. I will be able to bring about change. I will be able to bring about more impact. Growing up is never that.
Whatever happened, it kept happening. We and you, Anna movement. Look, it was never my dream to become a CM. The dream of joining politics does not arise. If he was not a CM, then being an MLA is a far cry. It was not a dream to become a counselor. It was not a dream to become a counselor. I lived in the slums of Delhi for 10 years.
From the year 2000 to 2010, Delhi's worked in the slums. I had left my income tax job. When I used to live in slums, there used to be some party. I was not there when I left my income tax job. So there was no party, no future. Actually, my batchmates drove me crazy. I thought he had lost his mind that the income... Quitting the tax job and moving to the slum.
If he is staying, then why did you do it? It was from inside that we have to do something for the society. I want to do something, but I can't do more by becoming an income tax agent. For the society, I felt I could not. Why was I not able to pay income tax commissioner? You do a small assessment. Yes, what do you do in it? There is a lot in it.
Wouldn't have... Then when Anna joined our movement, the demand was that the law be passed. He didn't pass, then he challenged again and again. If you have guts, then do politics. If you have courage, then show me your courage in politics. A political party, when we see a V on the wall, push the wall. We have no option apart from entering politics.
When politics I came in and formed a political party, somewhere far away, there wasn't even a remote chance that even one of our... The seat will come. One seat will come. On 26 November 2012, our party was formed. There was no chance at all, and after a year, after we came to power in Delhi, I never thought in my life that we'd go.
I will never enter politics in my life. I thought that becoming CM was a far-fetched idea. And who supported you? Who do you think that absolutely you became CM overnight in one year? Because forming a political party was difficult for him to bring funds, to gather people for it. Supported, people had a lot of support.
More people supported people. People were late, like five, six individuals who are together. No, no, no. And how did you collect funds in the beginning? Than people, what is this? Says the crowd funding. Maximum was crowd funding. End. Then you became CM. Then how did you choose people? Everybody in your team says that a lot.
There are too many highly educated people. They are visionary people, and they say very good things. Do you agree that you can go to some party? Like Abau, we have very educated people. Raghav is educated. Sanjay Singh, Gopal Rai, Satyendra Jain, Manish Sisodia, read this much. We are a team of educated people, good people, honest people who want the good of the country.
It is a natural attraction. I am on the side of Aam Aadmi Party. Gravitating that any BJP leader is good at that work. They must be some Nitin. I like Gadkari ji. I like his work too. He has done a lot. I have worked on the roads. You think I have done it? He looks good, but Dr. Manmohan Singh about you, he was very good.
What you said that you are very good, you are very good. He seemed educated and calm, were not toxic, were calm about their own. Are your achievements so many? Look, he inspired me more and wrote the right Information Act, gave MNREGA right, gave the education act, and gave the nuclear deal. How many works did he ever sing?
He gave them the nuclear deal; he gave them the... I felt that the stake was in the interest of the country. Government on that, how many people have the courage? Happens all over the world. In 2008, economic depression was sinking the whole world. She was doing this because she was an economist, and he saved India.
In India, no effect of that economic depression. It happened, and some poor people mean they were so quiet and so... I mean, you feel like worshiping him. Do you want to become my PM? I have never done anything like that. The God had not even thought of me becoming the CM. I made up my mind to become PM. VM, I did not think that my purpose is to work.
I enjoy working in politics. I am not enjoying it at all. Okay, here is my last question. Okay, tell me, whoever is watching this, and any... It is not necessary that the state is from Delhi. Hey, ho, right? He is nowhere in his life. Someday there will be an election, and he will have to vote. Should he see two or three things in between?
Choosing a candidate, even if it is a state election, ho election, you choose both candidate as well as you choose both the parties blindly. There should not be a supporter who is blind these days. Devotees say that should never happen. Don't be a blind follower of anyone. I will even say that the day when I become a common man, Aam Aadmi Party is dishonest.
Let the day come when Aam Aadmi Party gets ruined, and the day Kejriwal becomes dishonest, I don't vote. When you vote, think about your country. Think about the society. I am with BJP. If I am there, then I will vote for BJP. If I am from Congress, then vote for Congress only. Don't ever do this.
Then how do you judge your... Keep your eye, and you are open. Don't go by university. The filth that is coming into the university. Filter it. Today's generation is very... This is an intelligent generation. Search for the truth. Try to find out and vote on that basis.
I can understand that sometimes options or it is also a very big problem. There are no options in front of you. The option is I don't like these things, and I don't like this also. This is a very big problem. It's like I was speaking to a few people. Right? I am talking about Central Election.
There were people saying that we have... Please tell me the second option. I agree with you. I hope they will be a good option in the country. No future, but today there is not. I will not say it is late, but if the people feel that there is no option, maybe God will give another option in the next few years.
So you made three promises or four promises. If we talk about the promise one by one at night. First of all, I will give you a brief about Yamuna. I told you, yes, so how will you clean it? Yamuna, as I told you, Yamuna till Wazirabad. It is clean, and we pick up the water directly from there, take it to your water treatment plant. They go and give its water to the people again.
After Wazirabad, when in Delhi enters the Yamuna, that's where all the problems start. That all the sewage of Delhi goes into it. A lot of sludge comes into Yamuna from UP, and a lot of sludge from Haryana goes into Yamuna through Najabgarh drain. Delhi's sewer goes into Yamuna. In Delhi, 1797 Kachchi Colonies became illegal colonies.
Yes, unplanned colony. In the colony, there was no sewer system inside. I had a sewer system in these colonies in 10 years. It has been provided at 80 because so much... There is no provision for laying sewer system inside the colony. It was not an easy task, Massa. I told you 6800 km of sewer pipeline laid.
He is in these colonies now as an individual. Lay the pipeline and give individual connections as well. They all have been staying at home for a few days. If individual connections come, then those who... Sewer, what was every man's... Every man's sewer. It used to flow into the drains daily, and there from here it used to go into Yamuna.
Now it goes into sewer, will go through the system and into the sewer system through to sewage treatment plant, and he will be treated there in the same way. Divert Shadra Drain and Najafgarh Drain will build a new sewage treatment plant for both of us, and both of us are there. When the sewer of Yamuna stopped flowing into the... If this happens, then Yamuna will become clean.
So this, it is possible, it is doable, and it does not cost much. It's all planned for the coming time. In how much time will this happen? Next year, I will complete it within a year. And how many sewage systems will have to be built in one go? There is already a place where you can divert everything.
Are you not having a sewage treatment plant? It is a lot, around 35 already. So at least one, we are increasing their capacity by 1.5 times of several sewage treatment plants. Capacity is another one that the purity of its water is measured. I call it a technical term of 30/40. It is in it, meaning so much dirt is going in it.
It is now 30/40, so the sewage that goes is sewage that goes to the treatment plant. The output is the purity of the output. Right now, it is 30/40. We will bring it 10 by 10 in that. The water will become very clear. Then it will be 10 by 10. When the water goes into Yamuna, it will give you... It will look quite clear.
Then all the sewage Delhi has, as many treatment plants, we are improving the quality of their water, enhancing the output and capacity of... Then all the water went there. If this happens, Yamuna will be cleaned. If you did everything, I told you the second one. Now Delhi has water 24 hours water supply. If it is not there, then you will ask where are the 24 hours when there is no water in Delhi today.
100 MGD water is being produced. The water requirement in Delhi is approximately... We planned for 1300 MGD, so we made a plan for 1400 to produce MGD water. Where will it come from? Now I should keep asking from UP. I will keep asking Uttarakhand for those who give it. No, we will keep making efforts, but he is not going to give it.
So we did this. I have seen that the Yamuna is going away every year in the rainy season. The Yamuna overflows, and it spreads to the surrounding area. The ground recharges the entire area. The whole area across the Yamuna is for water. Our East Delhi or North East Delhi, you dig in it, and water comes out three to four times.
There is water on the feet, so we are sitting in the water, and they are shouting for water. So we are... The problem with water is that it contains ammonia. There is too much salt in it. If there is hard water and ammonia, then we will d... Amona brought the Jashan plant from somewhere. We tried it, and it was very successful.
He cleaned the ammonia. We reverse... He brought osmosis RO plants. The hardness has been removed. Now we are able to see everywhere. We will set up a plant and ammonia plant, and today we have also done identification of the tubewell. I can only ring it and take out the water from there.
We will install RO plant where there is hard water. We will clean it here with 100 MGD water. I will take it out from there. Then from Wazirabad to Palla, Yamuna flows there on both sides of the river. There is absolutely clear water on either side, and we 100 MGD by boring and from there 1400.
I will produce MGD water, and this within two to three years. How much will it cost? 1300, then I will buy 1400 by doing MGD water, and then we escada. The system will be installed in this also, Escada, which was installed yesterday by installing the Escada system. We will make the best modern water plants.
They will give you water 24 hours a day in Delhi, and this should also happen in the next four to five years. So it may happen in the next four or five years. Not a rocket science; it's doable. And European build roads, the problem with roads is that if any road gets damaged, then now PWD...
Someone is giving a contract for that pit. There you see me walking on the sidewalk. There is a broken curb stone on your road. They are broken, then they have a contract. Then that means it's a complete patchwork that is going on throughout this thing, and there is a lot of corruption in this. If any road has been made three times on paper and money is being raised, and there is a road where it should be built.
If it does not work out, then we will make the whole Delhi a... By doing GIS mapping and using it, we can... Comprehensive contract. I will give a black top painting to a 10-year-old central verge footpath. End horticultural plants. This is all in that one. This will be in the contract of only one person.
It's his responsibility, not his upfront payment. You will get it, and you have to maintain it for 10 years. If he does not maintain this, his money will be deducted. If he takes it, then he will have all this black money for 10 years. You won't find any potholes on your top either. If it happens, then fix it within 24 hours.
If it doesn't happen, his money will be deducted, and then the pit. Horticulture and flowers will be fine. It will look good; grass will grow on both sides. And if that happens, then your pollution will also reduce. There will be cleaning, and there will be daily cleaning as well. So they clean the roads with vacuum cleaning, and twice a week on the streets, it will be cleaned with water.
This is all included in that. So you are saying that now you will not give the contract for construction but maintenance. If the contract including, yes, is made, then it is done. It needs to be repaired; everything needs to be fixed. And you have to maintain it like this for 10 years.
It has happened somewhere; it may happen all over the world. This is what happens in a place. You have done one more thing. I promised that I will give you... How can I give it? People asked me, "Will you give it to me?" As if I... When I said for the first time that I will make electricity free. When I give it, these BJP people shouted a lot.
Where will it get the budget from? It will go into deficit. It will happen; it will happen. I did it, we and the budget is still profitable in Delhi. So I tell people that income tax, I am that person, so I know the accounts. I am a magician of accounts. Don't worry; do it. I will do it.
Give me... I will give you creative accounting here. You should understand that creative accounting is useless. The government has to reduce unnecessary expenditure. I am very much like you in everything. We save money in every work of PWD. We have built a flyover worth Rs 350 crore. 100 crores were saved in that.
Yesterday, Atishi ji, if she has come after inaugurating the flyover, then her 50 crores less than the estimated cost. Have you ever heard that that flyover is ready? There are 250 in the government. Despite this, the work of making crores is completed in crores. It happens, and it takes 10 years to complete it.
In being ours, we make it ahead of time. If we save money in every other work, then that we can save money and never give money to people again. Sometimes they give free electricity, and sometimes free medicines. Let's give it a go, and you just told me that you... The education system has improved a lot.
When our government did two things in the system, education was made up of four or five percent of the total budget. Would have been spent on... This is our ideology and our belief that as long as the children of this country get good... The country will not improve until education is not provided.
So we increased the budget from 5 to 25 kath of Delhi budget and set aside for education. That was huge, very huge, very huge. With that money, we changed all the buildings, the toilets, fixed the drinking water, this, that. The whole environment has changed. But that was the easier part. How do you teach teachers?
You will motivate me to study, then we will give you. We sent all the principals to foreign countries. Sent to Harvard for training, Cambridge. Sent to the US, sent to Singapore. Different principals are sent to different places for training. The number of teachers sent for foreign training, we sent him to IMS for training.
For this, I am Ahmedabad, I am Lucknow with them. We partnered and sent him here. When he came back from there, they were all charged up. And only those teachers are ready to take the responsibility. Delhi government has 600 Haj teachers. We did not change any teachers in the schools.
Till yesterday, we used to abuse the teachers, saying that this teacher, she does not teach. She comes and sits under the tree. That's what you keep knitting sweaters, isn't it? Listen, those same teachers did wonders. It's amazing that the result is coming on 99 today. Delhi government schools compared to 92 par in private schools.
The result of Delhi government is at 92, 99% of schools. But you have not given 30 children yet. We also sent it to France. Just now, we sent it to France. Could Delhi government ever think about children? This time, more than 2000 children have appeared for NEET, and I have cleared JE from government school.
Government school children appeared for NEET exam and cleared the JE exam. And we just started a course, an apprenticeship course in us children, 11th and in the children of class 12th. This sinks inside them. Let them tell you that I don't want a job. I will not do the job. I will not give the job. I will become one.
I am not going to ask for a job. If I become one, I will teach them how to do business. How to teach every child to do business. We will give you Rs. 1000 from the government. If you do business with such a thing, then listen to it once. It feels very awkward in 000. What is it? Business happens; we can come together.
If you can do partnership, then you can have five children together. 00 have come, three children have come together, 000 donation. They develop an idea; they think of an idea. There are different types of ideas. We have one lakh children in schools. There are 50 thousand rupees in 11th and 12th. Teams are formed of children who do business.
She is working on ideas and wants to
