No wonder, Kejriwal’s resignation from his CM-Delhi position battered the nation’s faith in him. His decision to squander the opportunity people gave him in the last Delhi elections left people with questioning the party’s capabilities and distrusting his capability. But in his (Kejriwal’s) interview (Source) with ReadersDigest tells a different and bright side of the story – a story that talks about how strong he is as an individual.

1. An IIT Kharagpur graduates who gave his life for the good of the society.

Unlike most of the IIT graduates who choose to earn high salaries abroad, Kejriwal decided to stay in India and work for the society. “I saw a lot of poverty, sick people on footpaths, some even with gangrene. We used to bring such people to the Kalighat ashram in Kolkata and nurse them. If they were dying, Mother Teresa’s message was to let them die with dignity,” said Kejriwal in the interview.

2. Started his NGO Parivartan informally during his career as an Income Tax officer

In quest of changing the Indian democracy as we know it today, which as it stands, “is so complex and so unworkable”, Kejriwal took several initiatives during his career. While working as an Income Tax Officer, Kejriwal in 2000, started his NGO Parivartan, with a seed money of Rs 50,000. The idea was to put an end to paying bribes in the Income Tax Department.
