In his Independence Day speech at a city government function held at Chhatrasal stadium, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lauded his government's efforts in the health and education sector and said that the Delhi's"unprecedented development" is being discussed all over the world. "Unprecedented development has happened in Delhi during the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s over three-year rule. The initiatives of the Delhi government such as improvements in the school education and the health sector scheme such as Mohalla Clinics are being discussed all over the world. Former secretary general of United Nations Kofi Annan will come to India with a delegation to visit Mohalla Clinics in September," the Chief Minister said. The Chief Minister said if the countries such as Japan, which was ravaged in World War II, managed to rise again and why India is lacking behind. "Many other countries that gained independence after India are now more developed and far ahead of use. If a good education is ensured for all children in the country, our poverty and unemployment can be removed within one generation," Kejriwal said. He further said that the opposition charged the ruling AAP of being "stubborn", Kejriwal said, "Yes, we are stubborn because we want a corruption-free, rich and educated India. Our dreams are big but achievable." Meanwhile, when people present at the event started chanting,"Bharat Mata Ki Jai", Kejriwal said the slogan will be realised when all the children will receive a good education, farmers will get the price for their crops, women will be respected, and no country in the world will be able to browbeat India. The Chief Minister said while the national Capital had come up with best drainage system thousands of years ago, it now lacks a decent sewer system. "But, the wind of change is blowing now. Delhi will have the best sewer system in the world in the next five years," he said. The chief minister signed off rendering "Hum Honge Kamyab" along with school children present in the event. Earlier, the chief minister unfurled the tricolor and was accorded guard of honour by contingents of the Delhi Police, Home Guards and students from government schools. He awarded medals for gallantry and meritorious service to serving officials and the families of personnel who died performing their firefighting duty.
