PUNE: After retiring from politics, I would like to devote my life to vipassana, said Arvind Kejriwal, after a seven-day meditation session in the city on Monday. He, however, stressed that leaving politics in the near future was not on his agenda.

Kejriwal, founder of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), said the mediation session has given him strength to deal with stressful situations in his career as bureaucrat, activists and politician.

"The Delhi elections are expected in two months. I have spent seven days here in Pune for meditation; this fact signifies the importance of meditation in my life," he said.

The former Delhi chief minister will continue his political career for the time being and is banking on a good show by his party during the elections.

"Our party will reach out to voters with a blue print of Delhi. We will be back in power. We will form the government."

Kejriwal also spoke about the resignation of his party MLA MS Dhir, who was the speaker in the last Delhi Assembly. "We have an automatic selection procedure. It is the selection process of nature. People, who come here for the post, fame, money and ticket, slowly get sided out," he said. Dhir has now joined the BJP.

Kejriwal admitted that dissolving AAP's Delhi government was a wrong political assessment.

"We left the government on the grounds that Lokpal bill was not getting passed in Delhi. We thought that if the elections take place immediately, we will get majority and will not need the support of the Congress party. But the election did not take place and president's rule was imposed. It was wrong political assessment on our part. This time, we expect a clear mandate."

No time to meet Anna Hazare

Arvind Kejriwal, one of the key leaders in the anti corruption movement started by Anna Hazare, said he will not be meeting the 77-year-old activist during this trip. "I don't have time to meet him. I have to leave as I have a flight to catch. We keep on interacting each other," said Kejriwal.
