00:00In just two months, a corrupt minister has been caught in the government of Bhagwan Atman.

00:05This matter is only with me.

00:07The media has no information about it.

00:09The opponents have no information about it.

00:11If I wanted, I could have suppressed it.

00:14The name of that minister is Dr. Vijay Singla,

00:17who is a health minister in Punjab, in the cabinet.

00:21When I showed him this evidence, he also accepted his crime.

00:31As everyone knows,

00:33the Aam Aadmi Party is a truly honest party.

00:38The Aam Aadmi Party is an anti-corruption movement.

00:43And the Aam Aadmi Party's Delhi and Punjab governments are truly honest.

00:48We will not tolerate even a penny of corruption.

00:53When I used to campaign in Punjab,

00:57I used to see a hope on people's faces.

01:03I used to see a hope in people's eyes

01:07that maybe someone will come to save us from corruption.

01:12When my name was announced for Chief Minister,

01:17Arvind Kejriwal ji told me that

01:20we will not tolerate corruption.

01:24I had promised him

01:26that we will not tolerate even a penny of corruption,

01:30whether they are our own people or foreigners.

01:34In this regard, a case came to my mind

01:37that the cabinet minister of the Punjab government

01:41was asking for a commission of 1% from his department's tender and other purchases.

01:48So I took it seriously.

01:51This matter is only with me.

01:55The media has no information about it.

01:58The opposition has no information about it.

02:01If I wanted, I could have suppressed it.

02:04If I had done this,

02:06I would have broken the hearts of millions of Punjabis

02:11who believed in me.

02:13So I would have been against my party's ideology.

02:19And I am going to take action.

02:23The name of that minister is Dr. Vijay Singla,

02:27who was a health minister in the Punjab cabinet.

02:31When I showed him this evidence,

02:33he accepted his crime.

02:35So whether we are our own people or foreigners,

02:39we have zero tolerance against corruption.

02:44I want to tell everyone that the system has changed.

02:48Whether you are an officer,

02:50whether you are a politician in Punjab,

02:53whether you are in the opposition,

02:55whether you are in the government,

02:57the system has changed.

02:59Now even a rupee will not work.

03:02We will save even 1% of people's money.

03:08We will not let people's pockets be looted.

03:12And this is happening for the second time in history.

03:16The country has 75 years of history.

03:1875 years after independence.

03:20This is happening for the second time in history.

03:23In 2015, Arvind Kejriwal

03:26asked his food supply minister for 5-6 lakh rupees

03:31for an audio recording.

03:34He listened to the audio,

03:36released him from the cabinet,

03:39and the case was closed.

03:41And today, the Punjab government is going to take this decision.

03:45Some opposition parties can raise this question

03:49that a corrupt minister was caught in the government

03:52in just two months.

03:55I want to tell them that I am taking action on this.

04:00Before this, many chief ministers had accepted

04:04that there are many ministers in my cabinet

04:06who are connected to the mafia and do corruption.

04:09But they did not take any action.

04:12But AAP is a strong and honest party.

04:16We are taking strict action on our minister.

04:19And we are also instructing the police to take action against him.

04:26There are many people

04:28who think that

04:31corruption is a big deal

04:34and it will not end.

04:36Corruption will continue.

04:38This is not true.

04:40If the intention is good, anything can happen.

04:43I want to tell the corrupt ministers again

04:47that those who are looting the country,

04:50those who are taking away the rights of the poor,

04:53that no matter how much you collect,

04:55money, diamonds, pearls,

04:58but remember one thing,

05:00there is no pocket on the shroud.

05:02Everything will remain here.
