IIT Engineer is New Chief Minster of Delhi, India

01/03/2014 5:39 AM

Have you ever heard of high profile Engineer from Institute of Technology, prime College of Engineering to become Chief Minister of New Delhi, capital of India?. Yes it is Mr.Arvind Kejriwal, who jumped in social work movement named "Anna Hazare" Movement to get rid of corruption in India. He also became Income Tax commissioner after completing Indian Revenue Service.

He started his own political party called "AAM Admi Party" (Common man's Party) a year back and fought recent elections and won 28 seats out of 70 seats. Great achievement for any new entrant in politicis. Yesterday with support from Congress party won the majority vote. Immediately he has reduced water charges for common citizen also reduced the electricity charges by 50%. For more details please visit web site:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvind_Kejriwal

He is bent upon kicking out corruption from the whole system. Let us all wish him good luck to young Engineer.

I hope it works out, and he doesn't succumb to the trap of corruption that comes with power.

I'd like to see more engineers enter politics, or at least be part of shaping energy policy. It would save a lot of time and money on chasing things that just won't work.

I think I might agree! If you include Surveyors we'd have Jefferson and Lincoln, and Hoover who was classified as an Engineer I believe. They seemed to work out OK.
