over

conference,
Kejriwal
said,”Just
day
before
yesterday,
we
announced
that
we
will
launch
a
mission
to
make
India
No
1.
That
has
started
to
happen,
it
will
take
time,
but
it
will
happen.
We
will
work
together
to
make
it
happen.
India
got
independence
75
years
ago,
people
are
asking
why
we
are
not
at
the
top
sp
far?
We
have
such
intelligent
people
but
we
are
still
not
at
the
top.
If
we
keep
voting
for
the
same
old
parties,
this
will
never
happen,
we
will
not
rise.”
“Today,
Manish
Sisodia
was
declared
the
best
education
minister
in
the
world,”
he
added.
“But
the
CBI
is
raiding
him
today.
There
will
be
several
roadblocks.
This
is
not
the
first
raid
on
Manish
Sisodia.
There
have
been
several
false
cases
—
against
him,
Satyendar
Jain,
and
against
Sisodia.
They
will
not
find
anything.
Let
CBI
do
its
job,
they
have
orders
from
the
top.”
“Today,
I
am
launching
a
number
–
9510001000.
All
those
who
want
to
join
the
mission
to
make
India
number
1,
give
a
missed
call
on
this
number.
Spread
the
word,
tell
people
and
bring
them
along,”
Kejriwal
said
