Perhaps more relevant to HN, Arvind Kejriwal graduated from IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) which is somewhat analogous to MIT in the Indian context. He then joined the administrative services.

So he is a techy turned bureaucrat, turned activist, turned politician.

AAP (Aam aadmi party)'s performance is unprecedented for a 1-year old party taking on national parties that were 50-year old with far more money and resources. Its a stunning debut for the AAP!

> He co-founded a political organization named Aam Aadmi Party (Translation: Common Man Party) that won 27 of Delhi's 70 seats in its electoral debut, just 6 shy of BJP (an established National Party), and almost three times the no. of seats won by Indian National Congress (the incumbent party in Delhi).

AAP won 38 seats and BJP won 30 [0]
