Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday named over 20 top politicians including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as "corrupt", and attacked him and BJP's Narendra Modi for spending crores on creating a "brand".
Addressing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national executive here, Kejriwal outlined the party's objective vis-a-vis the Lok Sabha polls: "We have to ensure that no corrupt person is elected to the parliament."
Reading out what seemed to be a prepared list at a packed auditorium at the Constitution Club, Kejriwal said he had a list of "corrupt people" in politics.
"I have made a list of corrupt people. This is just the beginning and the list will grow.
"I am presenting the names to you, and you decide whether these people should be elected to parliament or not."

Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday threw a challenge to BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, saying he was ready for a debate on Article 370 "anytime, anywhere".
"If they want a debate on Article 370 with me, let them tell me where and when they want to talk about it. Even if they want to hold the debate in Ahmedabad, we are ready for the debate anytime," Omar said at public rally here.
He was reacting to the Gujarat chief minister's call for a debate on Article 370 and whether it has benefited the people of the state.

"Even if Modi becomes PM for ten terms, he will not be able to do away with Article 370. You talk of debate, BJP does not indulge in any debate," Farooq told reporters here.

Gulail, the investigative website which released tapes of purported conversations between Narendra Modi's aide Amit Shah and suspended Gujarat police officer G L Singhal to allege that the state government had subjected a young woman to illegal surveillance, on Thursday released photographs to seek to establish that the woman had known the Gujarat CM at least since 2005.
Gulail uploaded a dozen pictures of Modi's presence at the first edition of 'Kutch Sharad Utsav' in October 2005. In one of the pictures, Modi is engaged in animated conversation with IAS officer Pradeep Sharma and the woman with her face partially masked.
As per the recordings of the purported conversations between Shah and Singhal, the state police mounted an aggressive surveillance on the woman, introduced by the website as Madhuri (not her real name), in 2009 at the instance of "sahib". She was tracked in gyms, at the airport, in aircraft and even in hospital where her mother was admitted.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today claimed that BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally, scheduled here on Sunday, is aimed at creating communal tension and divide people in the name of religion and region.
"People should be cautious of the attempts taken by a particular political party to create communal tension dividing them in the name of religion and region," Omar said at a gathering after laying the foundation of Sangar Bridge over River Tawi in Challana of Jammu district today.
"The rally of December 1 announced by BJP in Jammu is aimed at this target," the Chief Minister added.

Was the poor turnout at Sunday's Rahul Gandhi rally a sign of Congress' waning popularity? The BJP is confident that it was an indication of people's mood. Almost every BJP event on Monday was rife with talks about the Congress "flop show", and how their PM candidate Narendra Modi was a much bigger crowd-puller.
Chief minister Sheila Dikshit told a news agency that Rahul's rally had less crowd because of strict security set up and police's refusal to allow people to carry water as they waited at the venue. "The security was very tight. People were not allowed to carry water bottle. So they may have been thirsty," Dikshit said. She also said people who had come early had to wait long and might have left before Rahul started his speech.
"Sheilaji is blaming it on lack of availability of drinking water. But the fact is that there is no water left in Congress party now. Sunday's rally has cleared all doubts about people's preference in the coming elections. BJP is coming to power with two third majority," said senior leader Nitin Gadkari at an event in which Congress member Trilok Chaudhary joined BJP.
Reacting to CM's clarification, BJP state president Vijay Goel said, "Dikshit is saying that people left the rally due to unavailability of water. I would like to tell her that the situation is same across the city and soon people will be forced to shift out of Delhi due to water scarcity."
Most stark attack on the rally came from Harsh Vardhan who said Rahul's body language shows that he is frustrated and disappointed, and is aware that his ship is sinking. "His speech indicates the possible defeat of his party in the upcoming elections. The so called future PM of Congress party, Shri Rahul Gandhi, made false and misleading statements during his rally," said Vardhan in an official statement.

The Narendra Modi factor will hardly help BJP's fortunes in Delhi, believes Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal who said that "even God can't save" the saffron party as it seeks to wrest power in Delhi.
"BJP ko Delhi mein Bhagwan bhi nahi bacha sakte, toh Modi kya bachapay enge (God can't save BJP in Delhi, what could Modi do)?" Kejriwal said during a press interaction here.
And, as the political atmosphere hots up in Delhi ahead of the December 4 assembly elections, Kejriwal responded to comments by chief minister Sheila Dikshit that he had no experience of governance saying that neither did she have any prior experience of running a state before coming to power.
But the AAP leader noted that Congress acknowledges he was a "honhar" (capable) candidate.
