Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal: What exactly are you trying to do?

Mostly, I avoid writing on politics, but, I have been wondering about few things recently, and  hence, this post. Two people have been in news for last few days and for all wrong reasons. 

One of them is Rahul Gandhi. I am really wondering, what is he trying to do? The way it appears to me, he is trying to play politics out of anything. He has unnecessarily blown up the present issue of National Herald. The court has summoned the Gandhis to appear in court, because the court probably found some concrete reasons to do so. How is this a political vendetta? Why should you answer about it in parliament, when you have been invited in the court to do so? You have been stalling parliament from functioning for all wrong reasons. You did it in monsoon session using Lalitgate and Vyapam ghotala. What happened to that? Did you follow it up? Or as it seems, they were just the reasons to stall the parliament from functioning.  Now, you are doing it again. This time you are using National Herald and some comment made by V. K. Singh, which sounds a lot construed. This is not helping you. People are watching. They can see, you are not helping, but becoming a barrier in the development of the country. Your party is already down to the lowest score ever in Loksabha. Instead of trying to build the party and make big gains, you are trying to get advantage from small ripples, not even waves. With such tactics, I don't see your party having any great future.

Another person is Arvind Kejriwal. Now, he has the charge of Delhi. I can not really say, how he is performing. For that, some one from the place need to be asked. But what I  am wondering are some of his comments and decisions which are coming in to limelight. I was awestruck, when, he increased the salary 4 times for all the parliamentarians. He himself will be earning as per the news, some where around 2.25 lakhs per month. I wonder why? His logic as I read is, with huge salaries, the parliamentarians won't have the urge to fall for corruption. That is arguable.

2-3 days back, he commented about the death of a 6 month old child during slum demolition. The news coming out, is the child died much before the demolition started. So, Arvind Kejriwal is giving comments, even before confirming the information. That is not expected from you. We have seen you talking during Anna's fight against corruption, always with the details in hand and to the point. This new avtar of Kejriwal is surprising us.

Yesterday's comment really made us loose respect for you. You are calling the Prime Minister of India as a coward and psycopath. I am wondering, if you have any basis to prove your allegations, or, have you just started blabbering anything now. It was uncalled comment. It made me wonder, are you the right decision taken by the people of Delhi?

These are two people, who literally have power in their hand and they can actually do wonders with that power. It may not be full power. With lots of restrictions, but still, you have power in hand. Make proper use of that power, and do something constructive, rather than pushing unnecessary words to the media.

and why all such things are directly connected to Narendra Modi? He is a prime minister, who has a responsibility to run a country, which, a prime minister in India, it seems like doing for the first time. We all can see, he is always involved in some or the other activity, promoting India.

Kejriwal's AAP: A mystery story

Arvind Kejriwal: A name that rose to height in the shortest known time. Till two years back, he was just known as the right hand of Anna Hajare. Over the time, he started making his own image as he split away from Hajare.

He had started creating ripples in Delhi zone. But still most of us had no idea what he is going to achieve in just a period of few months.

And then assembly election took place that changed the whole equation of politics in India. A brand new party named AAP came into picture. It not only showed ground to the leading party Congress but also inhibited BJP from forming government. It showed all of us that there is another and clean way of winning elections by mere winning confidence of people. Things were all going right for Kejriwal and company.

But then Congress offered to give support to this party to form government and things started going down side there on. While some still believed that AAP's intention are clean, others started questioning their stand of joining hands those who they fought against.

Anyway, Government was formed, ministers were nominated and Kejriwal took 2 big decision related to water and electricity issue in Delhi. All this with in few hours of becoming Chief Minister. Some appreciated it and many condemned. Some ministers took their job seriously and started taking tough steps to improvise the situation. But few others took wrong signals from Kejriwal's victory over Shiela Dikshit and started making noise. One of their leaders directly challenged  Rahul Gandhi and Rajnath Singh/ Narendra Modi to fight elections against him and that too from Amethi. He is becoming the face of AAP for making atrocious comments.

In the mean time another minister raided some residential areas of foreign nationals creating troubles for AAP. We do not know what all actually happened and who should be believed, but some how a picture is getting painted that AAP is not able to manage the success they got.

What made it more difficult to digest is the way in which Kejriwal joined in the agitation to  suspend some policemen. Probably he is right in demanding that, but somehow picture seems to be getting fuzzy with every new day coming.

The worst part that AAP has decided to do which most of the "Aam Aadmi" is not able to understand is the way they are trying to make it large by participating in as many as possible Lok Sabha seats. Most of us expected them to work in Delhi and show every body how things can be done in better fashion and give a good governance. But instead they are trying to make their party bigger by going nationwide.

Lots of things are happening in too small time. It has started appearing that this success of AAP might end up being a short stint that might extinguish very soon. Time has all the answer and all we can do is wait and watch and probably take a right decision of we get a chance to contribute.

AAP - changing the face of politics

One good thing has happened in Indian politics, origin and success of a new party called "Aam Aadmi Party", in short, "AAP", a word which otherwise in Hindi is used to say " You" with respect.

AAP has done a fantastic job of shaking the usual way of doing politics in India. I was really wondered when AAP received such a huge success in Delhi elections. I did expected it to do well, to outperform congress, but I did not expected, it will change the whole scenario in its first ever attempt. More over the way Arvind Kejriwal defeated 3 times chief minister Shiela Dixit, by an appreciable margin says a lot about the need of change people are looking for in politics.

What impressed me more  is the way AAP is trying to carry itself even after elections. The way they took a stern stand not to hurry in to get power and instead preferring to sit in opposition says a lot. It will surely prevail some sense of conduct among other political parties too.

I hope AAP does not change its route in course of time and actually rises up on idealistic way of doing politics. Though it seems difficult. Arvind Kejriwal may not deviate from his path, but can we say the same about all the followers when the party starts spreading its wings. Will the party keep working with its idealistic views or will it change over the time. Time has all the answers.

Till then, lets be happy that for a change something good has happened in Indian politics and wish it to grow as good as possible.
