Original review summary

The review says the video is a clipped excerpt from Kejriwal’s 25 November 2012 speech at Raj Ghat, where he mocked the writers of the Congress constitution. It reports that the full speech referred to the Congress constitution’s alcohol rule, not Ambedkar or the Indian Constitution.[S1]
