In the coming Delhi Assembly polls on 7 February, the Bharatiya Janata Party, which won the most seats in the 2013 Assembly election, is up against the Aam Aadmi Party for the 70 Delhi constituencies. Both parties have discounted the Congress as rival. The BJP is going forward with Narendra Modi as the face of their campaign, while the AAP is projecting Arvind Kejriwal as a chief ministerial candidate for the second time—Kejriwal resigned from his post in February last year, after just three months in office. The current AAP campaign is significantly subdued when compared to the run-up to the 2013 polls. In 2011, Mehboob Jeelani caught up with Kejriwal while the Lokpal agitations were in full swing. In this extract from The Insurgent, we see a more obstinate and fiery Kejriwal compared to the man standing for chief ministership today.
