Why AK is a potential dictator?

The devout supporters of Arvind Kejriwal, the aloof voters of Delhi and the critics of the Delhi CM would agree on one count; that Kejri has all the signs of becoming a full-fledged despot.

His transformation from a humble “aam aadmi” to what he has become today, has been rather swift.

Those who expected AK to deliver on his promises are witness to non-stop drama on the issue of appointment of principal secretary and additional chief secretary.

The turf war with LG Jung has become AK’s “meri jung.” Now AK is ready to unleash another round of street fight.

The confrontation over appointments is just the symptom of what is in store for Delhi.

Why media was a friend, media is a foe?

Wasn’t it shocking to see AK favouring to put tight leash on media? What went wrong? Is it because the same devout media, who found a messiah in Arvind Kejriwal, started questioning him?

Media use to massage his ego and make him a great political reformer. Kejriwal, who was keen on bringing swaraj, keen on bringing change in the system, why did he see an enemy in the media?

A large section of biased media writes to please political masters. 

When Kejriwal decided to gag media, it was sure that Kejri would find nobody backing him. His bluff was called by Supreme Court. Kejriwal was exposed.

But still a large section of media was still silent on Kejriwal's talibani circular, who will keep on propping Kejri in order to contain PM Narendra Modi on Delhi’s political turf.

Once an "Anna bhakt", Kejriwal used him, and threw him back to Ralegaon Sidhi, once his political goal was met.

He gained political legitimacy by aligning with legal luminaries like Shanti Bhushan, and Prashant Bhushan, who had exposed misdeeds of UPA regime. Bhushans had in past taken on Gandhis, exposed many scams, ensured arrests of many.

In Delhi circle, Bhushans were revered and feared equally. Kejriwal ditched them and managed to give them lessons of their lives.

For all those in the know, Kejriwal learnt his political lessons from Yogendra Yadav.

For years, Yadav’s political surveys/calculations were taken seriously, YY failed to realise how quickly their positions were made so untenable.

What happened to both Bhushans and Yadav? They were systematically discredited, pushed to the corner and made irrelevant. Kejriwal used his political might to silence his political adversaries. Those who questioned him were thrown out of the party.

KEJRIWAL AND TAIL OF STINGS

Those who live by sting die by sting, is a new political phraseology. Arvind Kejriwal a.k.a AK has been seen preaching people of Delhi to make stings of those who ask for favours, bribes and allurement. Now his former party men, colleagues and well-wishers are returning the favour.
AAP, which first recorded sting of a scribe, to discredit and oust Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, are bombarded with series of stings.

This time, the big casualty is none but the stinger-in-chief, Arvind Kejriwal, who in conversation with former AAP MLA Rajesh Garg talks about breaking a party.

Arvind Kejriwal tells Garg to prompt Congress MLAS to break the party and form a group. And worse, AK was recorded on phone saying so and he has not denied the allegation so far.
Party which preached, sanctity, probity in public life is in danger of fast denigrating. Critics of AAP are claiming that it has fallen from the high pedestals of morality. The wall of high morals it had erected has crumpled.
After the tectonic shift of power in Delhi, AAP emerged on the capital's horizon as the most shining star. After the Delhi assembly polls, Congress lost the ground and the political capital, while BJP also suffered the severest jolt after a historic win during Lok Sabha poll.
High moral values, which AAP propagated in last two years, have been replaced by logic of "political realignment".
Millions of voters, who voted for him in hordes, have started questioning him.
AAP has been assigned to rule for five years now and they can't runaway. That doesn't expunge them off moral turpitude. That doesn't free them off sins.

Legions of AAP well-wishers are hoping that when AK returns to Delhi after recuperating from cold and cough, he makes every wrong right. He provides healing touch to millions of voters, who voted for AAP and now feeling let down.

K..K..KIRAN IS HERE

KIRAN BEDI JOINS BJP

Delhi poll battle seems to be heading for an interesting finish. I had predicted in previous write-ups that only Kiran Bedi can take on Kejriwal on equal terms. Finally, here she is in the Capital war.

An IPS officer of imminence, Kiran is a no-nonsense officer. She is a thorough professional, go getter and strictly disciplinarian. Her only minus point is she is too assertive and she doesn’t understand nuances of party politics. Her introductory speech at the Delhi party headquarters was proof enough to suggest that she stood for systematic change, no matter what happens.

When BJP is taking on crusader like Arvind Kejriwal, who is not a traditional politician by training, battle strategy would have to be different.

BJP needed somebody, who had an impeccable career record, who would go out of the way to get things done. Kiran Bedi was the right choice.

Is Kiran a rank outsider?

Questions are being raised that Kiran doesn’t have support of different groups. But if you see, BJP workers have no qualms in accepting a rank outsider, who can take BJP to the wars with the promise that she would wage a war and win it.

 BJP was no getting any headway in the absence of a formidable challenger. Their internal poll surveys were falling short of expectations.

For BJP workers, party is supreme, it is not important what Vijay Goel says, what Dr Harshvardhan Says and how Jagdish Mukhi feels after Kiran Bedi’s induction in the saffron brigade. BJP workers needed a face.

As Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah have trust in Kiran Bedi, opposition from within Delhi BJP leaders won’t matter anymore, murmurs won’t last long.

Is she an opportunist?

After Narendra Modi became PM, Kiran Bedi offered herself to be part of the political system, though she was averse to the idea of joining BJP and running for the post of Delhi CM.

Now it appears that her aversion for politics was only symbolic and momentary as she was waiting for right moment to strike.

She had refused to contest against Kejriwal in last elections.  In no way, it was not sudden change of heart?  Move was premeditated.

She was once part of India Against Corruption (IAC) and after its split she was the one who opposed Kejriwal for setting up a political party.

Is she an opportunist? Who uses whom? Those who know her admit that it is highly unlikely that Kiran Bedi will change beyond a limit. It is not possible that BJP will use and throw her.

Who brought Kiran to BJP?

Lot of fuss is made about who brought her to BJP? Who projected her as CM candidate of the party? RSS is also reported to be peeved at the thought that what was the need to project her as CM so early?

We all know, Kiran Bedi was in touch with PM Modi and Amit Shah. Arun Jaitley was trying to convince her, report is that some Delhi based Akali leader was also pursuing her to join BJP.

Now RSS is also trying to water down the issue saying that Kiran Bedi is a leader of impeccable credential. Sangh is also left with no choice to back her.

 Kiran is brave, Kiran is formidable and Kiran likes to lead from the front.  What is more important is Delhi knows Kiran Bedi more than Kiran Knows Delhi.

ITS MODI-VS-KEJRIWAL ONCE AGAIN

It's clear. It's Modi vs Kejriwal once again. The big ticket political tamasha is back in national capital. With the election commission declaring poll date on 7th, battle is all set to intensify.
Those who are keen political watcher, will not be disappointed, in the high adrenaline drama.
Like last election;Arvind Kejriwal will be the principle challenger to Modi. He will be the catalyst. He will be the one, who will try to unsettle Modi. Make no mistake, Arvind Kejriwal remains favourite of a huge section of people. Kejriwal is trying to make another cameo, another comeback, if he succeeds he will remain big obstacle for Modi in years to come.
Last time Kejriwal frittered away half baked mandate in a haste. Lacking in experience, Kejriwal has already apologised to the voters of Delhi. Will people of Delhi, forget the 49 days anarchy, and vote him back to power? It's unlikely, yes it's unlikely.
Kejriwal's thunder has been stolen by the BJP in many ways. Modi has shown no sympathy for corrupt. BJP has addressed many issues like anti-Sikh riot of 84, doled out Rs 5 lakh compensation for the Sikh families.
Kejriwal is going to contest election sans any evocative issue attached to it.
For BJP, Modi is the face of election campaign. Jagdish Mukhi will not be CM candidate as projected Kejriwal. In fact, BJP will have no CM candidate. Modi will lead the campaign and he will decide the CM candidate, if BJP gets majority.
After Lok sabha wins, Mosi ensured victory in Jharkhand and Haryana. In j&K elections, BJP ensured it's historic performance, though still could not make a mission 44 a reality.
Modi is not relying on pollsters, instead Modi will hold rally inneach and every parliamentary constituency. Modi will not give a chance to Kejriwal.
Now look at the congress, which is literally in a survival mode. Like a dead mobile battery, congress needs a quick recharge.
With a jay Maken agreeing to contest Delhi polls, national capital will see a rejuvenated congress. Yes, congress is battling for survival. Yes, shiela Dikshit is making life uneasy for other congressmen, congress will go to battle and fightback. Congress has lost it's base among Dalits,Muslims backward caste. But with bett showing by congress, AAP will have a difficult time.

Terror "Guru" hanged

Has congress arrived?

The memory of 2001 parliament attack was etched in the minds of all Indians. Eventually, the symbol of terror attack has been hanged. Afzal Guru has got a silent burial. 

It was  an attack on the Parliament, symbol of sovereignty of the country. we should not slept over this issue for so long.12 years later, justice has been done. 

Afzal guru was given death sentence in 2004 but his sentences was stayed after a mercy petition was filed before the president. 

A strong message has been conveyed that:

1:India is no more a soft state.

2.Congress has scored a brownie point over BJP, which was adopting a very hard stances on terrorism.

3.Arrival of Narendra Modi on the national scene has been diluted to some extent.

4.Poll bugle has been sounded and Guru's hanging will have impact on Indian politics.  

5.And last but not the least, has congress  arrived.

Lets have a quick recap of what people think after Guru's hanging.

RT @HazeKayKashmir: if Afzal Guru deserved death then why wasnt the Special Task Force prosecuted?

Good to see netas observing restraint so far. Hope we in media follow suit #afzalguru

What next, Development or Hindutva?

Modi favours development

The hardcore hindutva is likely to make a comeback if mood of sant samaj is anything to go by. Ram mandir, uniform civil code and article 370 which catapulted NDA to the power in 1990s, are all set to return to the Indian body politik. The could be many ifs and buts within the NDA but BJP is left with no alternatives.

Many in the BJP would not buy this logic that development plank should be done away with, which is, in fact, paying rich dividends irrespective of party lines, ideologies or the state.

The  third time Gujarat chief chief minister, Narendra Modi, who came to power in the early 2000s riding on a popular Hindu wave almost negated the Hindu agenda preached by Sangh Parivar and most prominently by the VHP.

The religious amalgamation of alkali dal and BJP is tried and tested over the years but they came back to power on the promise of development overdose.

Who could be better example than Nitish kumar or vikas purush, as he is popularly named by his friends and foes.

There could be umpteen example, where development became rule of the game. One can slightly tweak with them but one can't change the formula.

Then where BJP stands? On the question of ideology, leadership and likely path it's going to take in months to come.

Off course, there would be immense pressure from the sangh  on the BJP to adapt tried and tested formula of Ram mandir. Easier said than done, it's fraught with the risks of being alienated. NDA has to weave a cohesive coalition and widen it's network. And Role of BJP would be watched keenly by the forces opposed to Them. How their Mahakumbh moments is going to be?
