Arvind Kejriwal, in a letter published in the NDTV, addressed the people of Delhi. In his 'open letter', he has touched upon the issues which he has been criticised for, the reasons why AAP should be given another chance and quite ingeniously, contains every element of his manifesto for the Delhi elections 2015. Here is the full piece, sourced from NDTV. Give it a read. Please note: It is unedited. About a year ago, thousands of young men and women in Delhi began something they had not done before. They sat around dinner tables, discussing and debating politics with their family members. People in Delhi have always debated politics, but this time it was different.

It's also a commonly-held belief that I gave up the Chief Minister's chair in Delhi to fight the Lok Sabha election and become Prime Minister. I didn't.

I requested a fresh election for Delhi the very moment I resigned. Inspite of being a minority government, our approval ratings were 71%. But the Delhi election never came.

In hindsight, perhaps we were too trusting. It was a mistake, an honest mistake; but a mistake all the same.

Fortunately, the windscreen is greater than the rear view mirror. After all, if the people give us the full mandate to govern, they will rightly expect us to lead with patience and savvy.

As someone recently said, it's what we can do as a party of Delhi for the people of Delhi that's important - we acknowledge this and we do take it very seriously.

AAP means a lot of things to a lot of people. To some, it's a force that can combat cronyism and finally allow people to do business. To others, it represents a change from communal and sectarian ideologies. To most, it's a chance to enjoy the rights, freedoms, and safeguards that our constitution bestows upon us.

We took the opportunity to represent some of these broader issues in the last election: the right to do business without hafta, and the need to protect the country from open theft of precious national resources.
