Addresshing the gathering, Kejriwal said that Congress and BJP are like husband-wife, who take turns to loot and don't take action against other's corruption.

Kejriwal seemed happy with the strength in the rally, which was held at Chhola Dussehra Maidan. He made a sharp attack on PM Narendra Modi over demonetisation. 

"Demonetisation is Rs 8 lakh crore scam. Government is helping the capitalists, while robbing the common man", he said. "People are facing immense problems, businesses are affected, yet media is praising PM Narendra Modi's move", he said.

Hitting out further at the PM, Kejriwal said that Modi waived off loans (worth Rs 1.14 lakh crores) of his friends.

He said that 'notebandi' has led to a financial emergency in the country. Photo credit: Bhaskar.com
