 "Blackmailers conspired to tarnish my image: Kejriwal")
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday that a conspiracy was being hatched against him ever since the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) came to power.
"Ever since our party came to power, a conspiracy is on against me. The blackmailers and corrupt people have come together to tarnish my image," he said at an event to re-launch the Delhi government's anti-corruption helpline 1031 to curb bribery in government offices.
The chief minister said anyone can "get fame within 24 hours by abusing" him. He did not name anyone in his speech.
He said the AAP government was dedicated to making Delhi corruption-free.
"We will use technology on a large-scale to make Delhi among the top five corruption-free cities in the world in five years," he said.
