Arvind Kejriwal joined the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) in 1995 as an Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax Department after passing the Civil Services Examination.
Non Government Organization (NGO)
In December 1999, while in service with the Income Tax Department, Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and others found a movement called Parivartan (meaning "change") in the Sunder Nagar area of Delhi.
In 2005, Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia launched a registered NGO to Kabir.
In 2001 the Delhi government enacted a state-level Right to Information (RTI) Act, which allowed citizens to access government records for a small fee. Parivartan used RTI to help people get their jobs done in government departments without paying bribes.
Politics
Along with other social activities such as Anna Hazare, Aruna Roy and Shekhar Singh, came Kejriwal, did we recognize him as an important contributor to the campaign for the Right to Information Act (enacted in 2005) at the national level.
He resigned from his job in February 2006, and later that year, he was given the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership for his involvement with Parivartan.
India Against Corruption
In 2011, Kejriwal joined with several other activists including Anna Hazare and Kiran Bedi to form the India Against Corruption (IAC) group. The IAC sought to implement the Jan Lokpal Bill, which would result in a stronger Lokpal.
The campaign evolved into the 2011 India Anti-Corruption Movement. In response to the campaign, the government's advisory body - the National Advisory Council - drafted a Lokpal bill.
However, the NAC bill was criticized by Kejriwal and other activists on the ground that it does not have enough powers to take action against the prime minister, other corrupt functionaries and the judiciary.
Aam Aadmi Party
By January 2012, the government went back on its promise to implement a strong Jan Lokpal, resulting in another series of protests from Kejriwal and his fellow workers.
These protests attracted less participation than the 2011 protests. By mid-2012, the Kejriwal chief replaced Anna Hazare as the face of the remaining protesters.
In November 2012, he formally launched the Aam Aadmi Party; Kejriwal was elected the national convener of the party. The establishment of AAP created a rift between Kejriwal and Hazare.
Chief Minister
The Aam Aadmi Party decided to contest the 2013 Delhi Assembly Elections, in which Kejriwal contested against the incumbent Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
Before the elections, Kejriwal became the fifth most talked about Indian politician on social media channels.
For all 70 seats in the 2013 Delhi Assembly Elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party won 31 seats, followed by the Aam Aadmi Party with 28 seats.
He resigned as Chief Minister on 14 February 2014 after he failed to introduce the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi Assembly.
In the 2015 Delhi Assembly Elections, Kejriwal led the Aam Aadmi Party to victory in 67 out of 70 seats. He took oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi for the second time on 14 February 2015 at Ramlila Maidan. Since then and his party has passed the Jan Lokpal Bill with some differences.
There has been a long-standing dispute between Kejriwal's office and the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi during Kejriwal's second term as Chief Minister.
Mohalla clinics which are primary health centre's in Delhi were first set up by the Aam Aadmi Party government in 2015, and as of 2018, 187 such clinics have been established across the state and have served over 2 million residents.
