"This is your party, not mine," said activist Arvind Kejriwal this evening as he launched his as-yet-unnamed political party in Delhi. The party will be christened on November 26, but its founder shared some of its rules today: It will not allow elected representatives to use government accommodation, security, or the lal batti or red beacons that guarantee right of way for vehicles used by MPs. The tenets are lacking in pragmatism: Mr Kejriwal promised, for example, that prices of essential commodities should not be changed without the people's consent.
