Abstract
Aam Aadmi Party, an Indian political party was formally launched on 26
November 2012, following the difference between the activists Anna Hazare and
Arvind Kejriwal over the issue whether to politicize ‗India Against Corruption‘
(IAC) movement or not. In India, the political corruption and instability could be
observed in the whole government system. Kejriwal made a controversial decision
to fight the corrupt government system by direct involvement in politics.
Demonstrating a bold and democratic attitude, Aam Aadmi Party demanded that
India, as a democratic country needs transparency, accountability, fair legislative
system and common involvement in governmental affairs. In 2013, Aam Aadmi
Party became the second largest vote-getter party in Delhi Legislative Assembly
by grabbing 28 out of 70 seats. The significant part of its agendas was the
introduction and legislation of Jan Lokpal bill in India. Due to unsupportive
attitude of other major political parties in India, Aam Aadmi Party stepped down
merely after 49 days in government. In 2015, Aam Aami Party again accomplished
a historic win by securing 67 out of 70 seats in Lok Sabha with a pledge to clean
up politics.
