India leader warns about corruption
Tuesday, 25 February 2014
India could break apart if it doesn't tackle corruption in its political system, the leader of its newest party has warned. Arvind Kejriwal of the anti-corruption Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) told the BBC that politicians were to blame for India's frequent communal riots. The AAP has said it will fight the forthcoming general elections. The party made a spectacular debut in recent Delhi elections and spent 49 days in power before Mr Kejriwal quit. Mr Kejriwal resigned after an anti-corruption bill was blocked in the Delhi assembly. He said if corruption was not tackled the country would not survive - and millions of Indians would remain poor and illiterate, according to BBC.
