The document comes as Kejriwal, along with other colleagues of the erstwhile Team Anna, is set to announce his political party.

"It is a big day for the common people. They are fed up of corrupt politicians and rising prices and are coming together to change the politics of the country," Kejriwal, donning a Gandhi cap with "Mein hoon aam admi, mujhe chahiye Janlokpal" (I am common man, I want Jan Lokpal) printed on it, told reporters shortly before he started a meeting with other activists Tuesday.

The vision document terms the decision to launch a party as the "quest for swaraj (self rule) - from subjecthood to citizenship".
