New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced a mobile number Friday where people could give a “missed call” if they wanted to see India as the number one nation in the world.
Kejriwal said in a video address: “I am issuing a number today, missed call number 9510001000. Those who want to see India as the number 1 nation in the world, the most powerful nation, and the best nation should join this mission.”
Earlier in the day, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s house was raided by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with an alleged scam in the recently-withdrawn excise policy of Delhi’s Aam Aadmi Party government.
Sisodia, who is in charge of the excise department, is under scanner for “deliberate and gross procedural lapses” in allegedly giving undue benefits in the tender process.
Reacting to the raids, Kejriwal said in the address: “CBI is doing its work. There is no need to be scared. We should let the CBI do its work. They have an order from the top to hassle us. Obstacles will come but the work won’t stop.”
The chief minister also lauded Sisodia as the “best education minister in the world”.
On Wednesday, Kejriwal had launched another national mission called “Make India No 1”.
“We have to make India the number one nation in the world once again. We have to make India great again. We are beginning a national mission called ‘Make India No 1’ today,” Kejriwal said in his address.
Urging all the countrymen to connect to the mission, he said, “Every citizen of this country, its 130 crore people have to be connected to this mission.”
