History of AAP

The Aam Aadmi party was formed in 2012 by people who were not into politics before. The party was not having any political background too. It was formed by the people who raised their voice against corruption and formed a movement called India Against Corruption. It was led by Anna Hazare. The main motive of the movement was to bring a Jan Lokpal Bill which would enable a free investigation against corruption in the country. It led to a country wide protest and large number of people stood up with them. Anna was a follower of Gandhi and believed that issues can be solved by protests but Kejriwal believed that it was necessary to politicize the issue. So they parted their ways and Kejriwal along with some supporters formed the Aam Aadmi Party. On 28th December, 2013 Arvind Kejriwal became the chief minister of Delhi.

AAP was formed by a common man – Arvind Kejriwal who raised his voice against corruption. He was a former bureaucrat who was graduated from IIT Kharagpur. He has also served the country by working at Indian Revenue Service. He has received Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership.
