“The Aam Aadmi Party is a small party, we are in power in two States and the PM is determined to finish our party. Together, they sent four top leaders of our to jail - myself, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and Satyendra Jain. They thought this will finish us but the truth is that we are not just a party but a thought,” Mr. Kejriwal added.
