Arvind Kejriwal today(Nov,26,2012) formally launched his "Aam Aadmi Party" with a strong Rally at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, making a 3000-strong crowd chant a series of anti-graft and other vows that he said were at the core of his party. Kejrival has revealed the name and Constitution of the party few days ago in a press conference and has requested people to assemble at Jantar Mantar today for its Formal Launch.
Former commando Surendra Singh who revealed graft in pensions was also a part of rally.
Mr Kejriwal chose to launch his party on November 26 as the Constitution of India was adopted on this day in 1949.
The party has named 23 members to its national executive, including Manish Sisodia and lawyer Prashant Bhushan, who are close associates of Mr Kejriwal. Mr Kejriwal will be the national convenor, Pankaj Gupta the national secretary and Krishna Kanth the national treasurer, it was announced .
India Against Corruption member Kumar Vishwas said 200 offices had been opened already. "It's an Aam Aadmi party... they (the aam aadmi) will run it," Mr Vishwas said, adding, with a smile, "The donations are coming to our party account and people are giving cheques, so they (other parties) need not to worry." he quipped.
The party's official website is www.aamaadmiparty.org, and accounts have been set up on social networking sites like Facebook (aamaadmiparty) and Twitter (@aamaadmiparty) to share information about the party and its functions.

"We vow that we will neither give nor accept bribes. We vow to get voter identity cards made and go and cast our vote. We vow to not take money, alcohol or any other form of bribe to cast our vote. And we vow not to cast our vote based on caste or religion," the activist-turned-politician said from the stage; the crowd solemnly repeated the vows after him. ."This party is result of our struggle against corruption," Mr Kejriwal said, his team and he repeatedly stressing that this was a "people's party." The acronym AAP means "you" in Hindi.

He should win a state, prove himself before going national. Let his record speak for himself rather than run his mouth. We all know that they are corrupt, nothing new. We want to know how honest are you sir!
