We have 1 lakh volunteers who gave up everything, their jobs, careers, and gave their time to our political campaign. I don’t know how many political parties can claim to have such a volunteer base. We also raised questions that were not being raised before. We made crony capitalism into an issue, we made swaraj and the idea of radical political decentralisation an issue. We raised funds through transparent means. What we raised was insufficient, but we practised the politics of using white money. And more than the vote share, we created a very large support base. For every one person who voted for us, there were four others who thought of voting for us, who said we are nice guys; maybe the next time they will vote for us
