Dear Team AAP

I wish to contest Lok Sabha Election 2014 from Paschim Champaran (Bettiah) constituency of

BIHAR on Aam Admi Party (AAP) ticket.

I am born in a farmer’s family of village Ranha, a tiny village on the bank of river Gandak, in the

Paschim Champaran district. I am first graduate of my family. My parents and other family

members are enrolled voters in the same constituency. Though I regularly visit the native place

and have lot of social presence there, I am a registered voter in Dwarka, New Delhi.

I always have a dream to change the life of people for better. I thought that by joining Civil

Services /IAS I will be able to do that. With this in mind I studied hard and after completing

engineering from IIT Kanpur, finally joined IRS (C&CE) in 1996.

As a private individual I have always involved myself for the cause of society. Since 2000, I am

giving a number of cash support and prizes to meritorious students of various places including

west Champaran district. I am also running a public charitable educational trust for supportingthe education to students of West Champaran District. I also run a Guest House in Dwarka,

Delhi where free accommodation is provided to people of west Champaran coming for

treatment or other work to Delhi.

However I found that as a government servant, under the present political system it is

impossible to deliver people friendly decisions. Those who torture people thrive in government

department and those who really help people have to suffer. Ultimately I resigned from

government service and started law practice in 2006.

In my law practice also I noticed that our judiciary is neither independent nor accountable. Court

cases are pending for years. The appointment of judges is opaque and there are a number of

cartels operating in legal field making the justice a distant dream for common man.

Though every law is made in public interest, legislatures are making laws less for public good

and more for torturing common man at the hands of bureaucrats. The power structure is

completely centralized in which common man has no say.

I fully share and committed for your model of SWARAJ. Unless the decision making process is

decentralized and unless common man is made part of this decision making process, our dream

of Swaraj will remain a dream. I am impressed by the recent rise of common man in Delhi and

want to bring same change across the country. The charisma shown by common man under the

leadership of Annajee and Arvind Kejriwal at Delhi needs to be shown everywhere in the

country.

Common man has only three needs, Roti, Kapda aur Makan. Country has no dearth of

resources to meet these requirements. However with mounting corruption and unemployment,

the resources are getting centralized in few hands leading to misery of common man. I

remember a poetry of Janki Bhallabh Shastri

!"# !"# "% &'() *+, &, "%-) .'/0 *+.

1*() 23) *4  &%() *+,  &, &%-).'/) *+.

With the support of common man, we will not allow this to happen anymore. Let us get united

and work together so that nobody is able to embezzle the resources meant for common man.
