Unpredictable Indian Voters

In 65 years of Indian democracy, Indians have exercised their adult franchise many a times yet their mood and sense to select a electoral representative for Lok Sabha and Assembly always seems to be far from reality and logical sense. They always seem to be fantasizing in the dream world to elect a macho person who would find the solution of their problem magically. They treat their representative to be a super hero as they have seen in the bollywood movies. Not surprisingly the result of the 2014 Lok sabha election has surpassed all poll predictions and given a clear mandate to the BJP and Mr. Narendra Modi.

There are few things which has been special in this elections are the large turn-out of voters to exercise their voting rights for electing the candidates, secondly the number of young voters formed the large chunk of electoral battle. The third and the major factor which led the NDA achieve this major hall mark of seats were the anger of the people because of the price rise, inflation, corruption, scams and un-responsive attitude of incumbent government towards the common people.

Apart from this, the mega marketing style of Mr. Narendra Modi which supposedly costed  5000 crores,  also created a great euphoria among the large section of the society that culminated into votes. Although, critiques does not endorsed all the poll promises of Mr. Modi or the BJP, it was the marketing style which influenced the individual voters to believe the promises to be really becoming true if Mr. Modi comes to power. When the election campaign of Mr. Modi started it had a lot to say about the development model of Gujarat and rescuing country from misdeeds of congress’s government but at the end of the campaign there were instances of wooing caste and religion too for the votes.

Now that the massive victory of BJP is out in the middle, it is very difficult to understand the mindset of the Indian voters. The poll pundits and analysts speculations have time and gain gone wrong in the recent past except  during Lok Sabha election of 1977, which was speculated to be clearly against the then Indira Gandhi Government. This time too there was a clear wave against congress yet the clear majority of BJP was not clearly written on the wall. As a result, all that has happened is quite surprising.

At a time when BJP is happy about this result and forming government in the center, its time for the opposition to understand as to how they could gear-up against the ruling party on the road ahead. Because in the coming assembly elections in few states the winning factor of BJP would definitely edge them over the opposition.  The real challenge is to be a strong opposition now to the ruling BJP in the center and be a strong contender of the assembly election in the states. Now, how the opposition look at their poll debacle in this concluded Lok Sabha election and introspect various mistakes they committed, will lead them to use their wisdom to look ahead fighting assembly elections.  

Assembly elections are largely fought on the basis of the local issues yet the policies of the center does play a greater role. Whether the coming assembly elections results would also be surprising or will it be on the line of BJP way is to be seen again. But the Indian voters would remain unpredictable for sure. 

Kejariwal's Off-Shoot Footage – Fodder for Fire

The off-shoot footage of Arvind Kejariwal engaged in an interview with Punya Prasoon Bajpayee was   posted on youtube and made it public on another social medias to let people know the collusive interview of AAP leader with AaJ Tak journalist.  Surely, this kind of off-shoot footage is deliberate attempt to show Kejariwal in bad light. At first place, to show this footage in social media by particular journalist or the concern media house is in very bad taste. It throws open the ethics of media as a whole, that too at a time when media is already in the heated debate over being polarized and heavily funded to support certain political parties in the coming election.

The intention of this footage making it public is a very well interpreted tactics and participation of the channel concern is undoubtedly to be believed what it tries to gain out of this leakage. On the wrong side, it certainly maligns the image of Arvind Kejariwal in public but on the other side, justifies his image as tall as one who is a PM contender. Otherwise, the question in the public space remains unanswered who will gain much out of this.

Not many thought this is a good news to play it on their channel and rightly so. But Rajdeep Sirdesai took interest to address this issue with utmost sincerity. He rightly understood that this kind of journalism is not defined in the media sphere and it is going to question the credibility of media. It will not bother much to those media houses which have already declared themselves to be the mouthpiece of a certain political party, but would certainly question the image of a media being independent. As discussion is already there in public space about the media being biased, Rajdeep tried to clear the air and he justified that the particular clip of interview of Kejariwal was already aired live and off-shoot footage is only a casual discussion what a common journalist does usually before and after the interview.  Even in cases when the interview has to go live journalist brief the person about the questions they are going to ask to avoid interruption during the interview.

In case of interview being aired post production after editing by newsroom, a copy of the same is given to the person whose interview is going to be aired and if there is any conflict of interest, it gets resolved and permission is sought before it is aired. I remembered once Amitabh Bachchan was interviewed by Pooja Bedi  for Amul India show and Senior Bachchan was not happy with some of its content, so asked not to air the show.

There is nothing special or unusual in this video for journalists. But to the common people its fodder for fire and an instrument to make of slandering accusation on Arvind Kejariwal and AAP. For those who are AAP basher, it’s an issue to justify collusive interview. For supporter of AAP, it’s a betrayal of media ethics and puts all media person under the lenses.

It’s difficult to understand who made this footage public – Punya Prasoon Bjpayee himself or some insiders. But its leakage definitely questions the credibility of his journalism career.

Media in a country like India is a first source of information for anything – be it print or electronic. It makes or breaks the images of individual and entities. It can aggravate and dilute an incident the way it is presented. In fact, in real sense media builds the opinion on the ground knowledge transformation to the common people. 

Therefore, media has a social responsibility to be independent and not influence the public perception by collusive news items. However, having said so, the individual journalists and media houses are divided on philosophy and polarized today.  There is also no ideological parameter to judge which media house and which journalist is independent. People in public life have been blaming media for biased reports and information and at the same time media also have never been clearing the air too. They have been silent on the charges labeled by people on them. Perhaps this is the first time any media person has taken a stand to oppose the built perception against them.

A small section of the people, in media too, feels that Punya Prasoon Bajpyee has been made scapegoat and his image as journalist has been tarnished.  Does this entire episode of this video going viral on the social network and then taking the attention on TV suggest media of being an example of crony journalism?

Is Anna Going to be Guru Dronacharya?

A special report published by DNA analyzed that Anna Hazare's move to support Mamata Bannerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC) for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections is of an identity crisis.

The 74-year-old Gandhian became a household name in 2012 after his sustained campaign for the jan Lokpal Bill. He was supported by the likes of Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal who were part of the Indian Against Corruption movement. In August 2012, Anna brought the Congress-led UPA government to its knees over a period of 12 days before he ended his hunger strike after 288 hours.

The movement for the Jan Lokpal Bill soon frizzled out and Anna parted ways with Kejriwal over the need to enter active politics to push the bill. Difference of opinion has created a widening chasm between the two leaders since. In recent weeks however, Anna had been sending signals that he had changed his mind.

Anna sighting the reason of his letter about 17-point agenda to run the country stated that Arvind Kejariwal did not reply to his letter so there is no question of supporting him. But according to the sources AAP never received such letter from Anna.

On Mamata taking strategic advice from Anna, political commentator Urmilesh commented, "On a personal level, this is indeed an identity crisis for Anna Hazare. But more than that, it is a crisis for the country's politics that our leaders have to go to Hazare to act as an electoral prop."

"For Hazare, it is an effort to create an alternate image of simplicity against Arvind Kejriwal by allying with Mamata Banerjee. For Mamata, roping in Hazare is essentially aimed at creating a credible national political face as she is eyeing national intervention," Urmilesh added.

TMC MPs categorically said that it was Anna who approached the party, indicating that it is Anna who needs people more than anyone else. A TMC MP told DNA on condition of anonymity, "I think what has been said is very clear. Anna Hazare will campaign for us. In any case we never approached Anna. It was he who got in touch."

All this while the analyst missed a point to mention that Kiran Bedi who was all the time with Anna against Arvind Kejariwal is almost lost in the NaMo’s campaign and there is none who is in support of Anna now. Ironically, he was the one who had started the movement ‘India against corruption’.

May be he was averse with the active politics then, but now realizes that it is the requirement of the time. In any case his lieutenant Arvind Kejariwal would be more than happy to keep him on the golden throne and in limelight then why is he choosing to side with Mamata.

Anyways, if the decision of Anna to go with Mamata brigade is final then it would seem Anna is going to play the role of ‘Guru Dronacharya’ in this battle of Mahabharat fighting against his own pupil Arvind Kejariwal.

Why will Mukesh Ambani donate to AAP?

This is very hot news for me to know Mukesh Amani has donated x amount of money through bank transfer to AAP. However, Yogendra Yadav has denied the reports.

How Economic times did come to know that Mukesh Ambani has donated money to AAP?  What is the basis of this report?

Has Mukesh Ambani donated money to Economic Times to carry this news? I have lot of questions because I see a lot of relationship building around this to change public perception about AAP through continuous publishing slandering news reports and comments by the journalists of paid media houses. I see a lot politics happening outside political parties for the business gains. Media houses have good time making money through politicians and they would go to any extent to assassinate the characters of politicians and political parties.

Today, the media houses look to me no less than the political parties helping each other for their gains.  However, the intent of making donation to AAP by Mukesh Ambani can be easily related to the CongBJP conspiracy to tarnish the image of AAP and convert them to be the band wagon of corrupt parties. They can boldly say in public, if Ambani donates money to us so as he does to AAP.  They will turn this as normal phenomena and drive the perception as this happen in politics during election and this is not a corruption.

Similarly, favouring Ambani after election in making loot of public money would turn out to be normal politics as Moily has done. Cong and BJP drive this philosophy. We are tainted so we will make you tainted. And to do this they will play any sort of dirty games. Some of them we see in open, some of them are yet to come in light. They are hell bent to prove, this is the way politics is run and this how it will run. No wonder they will go to any extent to malign image of AAP in public.

Mukesh Ambani could donate AAP on behest of CongBJP. But AAP will not accept it. AAP’s campaign will be run by Aam Adami and they do not need to spend so much money just to spread simple words of wisdom. AAP’s donation will come from people’s hard earned money and will be used for genuine cause.

AAP is not running on money but people’s aspiration for change and to make india corruption free. I am sure all forces will also help to achieve the dream.

Is Anna Playing Politics for Ego?

Once again Anna Hazare has shown his displeasure for Arvind Kejariwal. He said that Arvind is eyeing for PMs Chair. Earlier he had said that he is looking for power. Perhaps he is misguided and misinformed always about AAP and Arvind Kejariwal or he is implementing hidden agenda of some political party for their gain.

Why is he so upset if AAP comes to power or Arvind Kejariwal becomes PM of India? Whom does he want to become PM— Naredra Modi, Rahul Gandhi or Mamta Banerjee? 

On Tuesday he voiced his support for Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal. "I support Mamata, not for her party, but I support her views on the society and the country. I support her values and intentions," he had said in a joint press conference with her.

Mamata’s intention and values! Perhaps Anna is getting fooled or he is trying to fool the people of India. Is he not aware about the intention of AAP? Why does he treat AAP and Arvind Kejariwal as untouchable?

Anna said that Mamata was the only Chief Minister who responded to the 17 demands sent in a letter by him to every CM. "Arvind Kejriwal didn't reply to my 17 demands, there's no question of supporting him," he said.

These statements seem to be clearly crafted as Kiran Bedi statements towards AAP and Arvind Kejariwal. It is doubtful that Anna and Arvind saw different dreams being together. Arvind Kejariwal invited Anna and Kiran Bedi to be the part of AAP movement. People cannot deny those  interviews in media even before coming to Delhi Assembly calling Anna and Kiran Bedi for greater cause.

Sadly, Anna should be proud that one of his disciples fought the election alone and moved so far. Instead of supporting him he is criticizing him and choosing one who had danced on the JP’s car when he had reached Kolkata to unite opposition against emergency in 1977. Mamata Banerjee was in youth congress then.

“She has not taken a car or house despite being a CM. As a CM, she could have led a luxurious life, like many other ministers. But she stays in a small room," Anna added. He seems to be fancied or else he has other agenda to fulfill.

Personal simplicity alone is not enough when you lead the country. Its your dream and vision that can change the fate of the people in the country. Currently, that imagination of Arvind Kejariwal and AAP has caught the attention of the people and everyone is looking towards AAP and Kejariwal.

Anna compromised on Lokpal bill passed by parliament even if it meant nothing to reduce corruption and clean public life. Arvind rejected that and introduced the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi Assembly. This shows the determination and conviction of him committed for larger cause uncompromised.

It will be too early to say how Anna’s support will get Mamata Banerjee close to PM’s chair. But is it not the fact that Anna helping Mamata fulfilling her PM’s aspiration. Can someone deny Mamata Banerjee is not eyeing PM’s post?  Is it merely Anna’s ego?

If so, how relevant is Anna’s comment. Will people take this as a regular exercise of media to commit and vomit against AAP or should people take this seriously? Perhaps judgment of the people is more interesting to note in coming days.

Why BJP and Congress are Worried with AAP?

The pathetic performance for last 10 years in power of Cong led government is quite obvious to the people and to the congressmen themselves. Its all known what scams happened in Congress regime and writing here again will be waste of time of the readers and simply repeating the same. Although Congress could have lost power in last Lok Sabha election itself but they came in power again due to the leadership problem and complacency of BJP. BJP was sure to win that election under the leadership Mr. L.K. Advani but couldn’t manage their campaign and they were divided lot also on the several other issues.

Five years later, now once again BJP sees very strong anti-incumbency factor and eyes a strong chance to come to the power. This time they did not want any nonsense. Therefore, they got their homework done very calculative. They got a new president of the party who is known to be great strategist. They got a popular face for the prime-ministerial candidate as Narendra Modi. Their marketing team did a good job initiating campaign in social media making Modi a very acceptable face and savior of new India. All the other leaders of BJP also supported this move because they had tasted the debacle in last election. They do not want to repeat it again. After all, they cannot be away from power too long. The result was, they won 4 states election out of 5 and were largest party in Delhi Assembly.

However, the emergence of a new party, the Aam Adami Party (AAP) did not go unnoticed by them. Arvind Kejariwal, the Anna movement leader with AAP surfaced in late 2012 and started making its presence felt in 2013. Arvind Kejariwal and AAP continued their anti-corruption agitation against corrupt leaders and parties. It was 2013 that Arvind Kejariwal suddenly started stealing media attention and being heard and talked largely in media and outside the political circle. The murmur of he being in politics did not go well with Congress or BJP either. If you look at the earlier videos of different debates and talk shows hosted on youtube, it clearly shows the political hatred of BJP and Cong towards him. However, the people wanted to hear him more and ask his vision and dreams to eliminate corruption. His conviction to bring changes slowly earned him laurels in the hearts of people.

By the end of 2013, AAP had presence felt in Delhi and they decided to go into the election in Delhi Assembly. Rest is history now.  After 48 days of Delhi government experiment AAP looks to be well motivated and politically little experienced party which can overpower the gimmicks of Cong and BJP and give them reply which can make them smell dust. They have emerged champion and have outsmarted both BJP and Cong in Delhi Assembly. The decision and the work they carried out during 48 days of government will loudly challenge any of the current and previous state government for a logical comparison. Though not prepared they thoroughly crafted their move and burnt night lamp oil to achieve these in spite of daily chorus of Cong and BJP comments in media.

Hysterically BJP and Cong leaders made lots of joke and questioned their experience in politics. Yet, they were the worried lot of AAP bringing JanLokpal bill in Assembly challenging the authority of central govt. and autonomy of Delhi state.  Lets not forget we did not know anything about Delhi state and center affairs and Delhi police’s jurisdiction at large. The double standard of politics in center and state of Delhi was well know by BJP and Cong. General public started to know these details only when AAP brought these into the day light. Both these parties worried by the emergence of AAP as new political option to the people of the nation, wanted it to be remained restricted to Delhi and rule in Delhi until Lok Sabha election without fulfilling any major promises of their manifesto. But AAP slowly implemented almost all their major agenda except Janlokpal. To expose BJP and Cong combine inclination to help Reliance,  AAP in Delhi  filed an FIR against Mukesh Ambani.

With Mukesh Ambani coming in legal battle would certainly spell many names in power and opposition that led the BJP and Cong seek AAP to resign and brought it down. Now, Anti-AAP campaign and paid media influence against them is making BJP and Cong even more exposed and doubting their own credentials. Their power monger behaviours are truly on display in public. Whereas, no lust for power of AAP is openly visible.  

Moreover, people are interestingly watching everyday events.  In the frustration to makeover the image what they have lost in Delhi they are committing mistakes after mistakes.  They questioned AAP government even for sitting and getting up, now ignoring the bigger questions. AAP is again smart, putting lots of other questions to them which matters directly for people of the country. Among them, corruption, loot, dynasty rule and communalism are the bigger questions. Cong and BJP are both caught red handed.

On the other hand, AAP which was busy battling Delhi government everyday is now free to make their vision and policy clear in different forum for national agenda. In a limited appearance AAP leaders have proved they have great and better vision and action plan of clean and corruption free India than the Havard educated political stalwarts in Cong and BJP.

The best thing about AAP is the humility of its leaders and volunteers and commitment to learn and give back to the society. Their consideration of themselves being the part of this society itself emotionally attach people so much that they feel them very much of their own.  AAP and its Leaders know what they want to do. BJP and Cong just want to win the election – this is the major difference between AAP and them. And this is also the great reason to worry for BJP and Cong.

Emergence of AAP for A Purpose

Never in the history of Indian polity has the birth of any political party been with a purpose. Aam Adami Party (AAP) is the reaction of oppressed, depressed and crushed aspiration of common man that culminated into a corruption free agitation and later turned into a political idea to root-out corruption from the government and political system. 

The Anna movement for strong Lokpal in the country did not see the light of the day in true sense as was intended. Politician made garbage out of it and passed the bill in both the houses of parliament just to pacify Anna and his team. A section of the team felt jubilant who sold their soul in due course of time to the compromised politicians in lieu of some expected gain. Others felt cheated not only once but time and again. This section’s pain and agony literally cried out to bid an attempt to kill corruption being in the system.  Thus the birth of Aam Adami Party came into being.

Some detractors of Anna movement chose their way to ally with established political party for strong India. Their understanding that they cannot provide strong politics and they need to align with the current political party yet again turned out to be an intellectual dilemma of doubting their own ability. They stuck to their way and today they are the bitterest critics of AAP and so called its inexperienced team.

 

For the fact that those moved away, do not matter now because they lost their way by misguided politicians. They lost their confidence in themselves because they started believing on others. They accepted the rules of the game decided by others and never attempted to find their ways even under limited boundary.  This also made people evident that how traditionally politicians cow down those who attempts to invade their kingdom. The kingdom of corrupt, goons, educated and misguided, lusted, self interest vested politicians who proclaim to be the custodian of Indian Constitution and loot peoples’ money and bestow suffering on them. The rules and laws are most misused under the name of constitution for their own favour. However, the detractors failed to understand all these before making their mind to take side with the established party.

The established political classes have made language of politics so complex that the common man feels that they cannot fit into the system. The use of idiomatic foreign language creates doubts in the common mind that can they understand the complex politics of India.  It always looked only Havard educated and learned people can be in the politics. In all this the common man even forgets to question the qualifications of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to be in the politics. The common man even forgets to ask the presence of illiterate and goons in the parliament. If this is the face of the current political class, there is definitely a game plan to keep good and honest people away coming into the politics. Well, it was and it is!  The question haunted— can you break the corrupt wall of the Indian politics and challenge these politicians in open?

Arvind Kejariwal – the one man dared to do so! He wrote the complex rules of politics into simple language and made people understand what these politicians are doing and where our country is heading. He made people realize how the millions’ dream is shattered by these handful politicians. He displayed the evidence that how they have amassed peoples’ money into their coffins. He re-kindle the hope into the peoples’ mind and put confidence into them that they can overthrow these people who are ruining their life.  And the birth of AAP happened to challenge the established political system and their decision on the people. AAP dared to say that until now what has been happening is no longer going to happen. AAP is daring to ask and fix the responsibility on the politicians. AAP is daring to change the system if it is not for the people.

AAP is writing a new history to rediscover the Indian Democracy where people will be the master and leaders will be professionals to obey them. The fight now is system centric politics vs people centric politics.  Arvind rightly said in one of the interviews, “If laws and rules are not people friendly change them. After all, laws are for the people, people are not for the laws.”  Perhaps in 65 years of history this is the first time anyone has questioned our seasoned corrupt politicians and asked them what they have done to the country and to the people.

And the result is in open. The established political classes including all parties are hell bent to put down AAP. They are trying to derail them as they had tried to derail Anna movement too.  They are using media and all possible means to stop AAP for moving ahead.  But it looks, they are failing miserably and getting exposed more to the public.

We all know, 80% of Indian media is biased because it is owned by some or the other politicians. Thankfully, social media is not owned by these corrupt leaders.  The applause and support of the people on social media sends a very strong signal what the young India wants. One can really visualize, how today, every young Indian wants to be Arvind Kejariwal.

AAP is growing leaps and bounds. The lone battle has turned into a great movement and its different because young India is fighting this movement. Not to forget this time we have 65% young voters to caste their votes. The change is inevitable. One who stops this change and create hurdles on the way, will perish away.

AAP के लिये

हमे अकेले चलना भी मन्जूर,

तेरा जीना भी हमे मन्जूर, और

तेरा मरना भी हमे मन्जूर,

हम मर कर भी जी रहें हैं,

तुम जी कर भी मर रहे हो

ये भी एक घोर राजनीती है!

राजनीती से मुक्ती कैसे पायें,

हमे कौन समझाये, और

हम किसको समझायें,

पहल कहीं तो करना होगा,

जिन्दगी नही तो मरना होगा,

जिन्दगी भी क्या जो डर डर के जियें

रोज-रोज हम मर-मर के जियें!

निकलो, अपनी आवाज निकालो,

हथियार नही, जज्बात निकालो,

हम नेता नहीं, शान्ती दूत हैं,

हम आम जनता हैं, यही हमारा रुप है!

जहां देखो हमे पावोगे,

ये आगाज ही आवाज है!

चल दिया आगे बढने को,

तुम आप, हम आप, हम सब आप हैं,

तो आप अपनी लडाई लडते चलो

धिरज से आगे बढते चलो!

Who Said What to AAP and Kejariwal?

Author Chetan Bhagat, lashed out at AAP for its dharna in Delhi, calling it an "item girl of politics". Bhagat denounced the two-day dharna by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and rest of the Cabinet and said he was "ashamed" that they had resorted to such an action.

"They are in a hurry ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. They want instant attention, just like the Indian movie industry, where an actress becomes an item girl when she can't make it big. They have become the item girls of Indian politics and item girls do not go very far," he added. "The AAP has really, really let me down. I feel so let down by their antics. The cost-benefit analysis of this just does not add up," Bhagat told NDTV.

What aam admi would have said is Mr. Chetan Bhagat needs to go to the grass root level to understand the problems of people and actions of police as devil under the garb of protector. If he has not felt so, that is just because he is now in the elite class and police can spare him. If he thinks that Congress has given support to AAP to run Delhi government then better he understand the underlying fact is that the same congress wants to doom them just like Charan Singh, Chandrashekhar, Devegowda, and Inder Kumar Gujral – non of them lasted as prime-minister for five years in office.

He is talking about the ways and means to deal with the problem and dharana. All of us know who are involved in drug rackets and illegal activities -- all that happens under the nose of Delhi Police. Again all of us know – had Arvind Kejariwal not done this Dharna the deaf Delhi Government would have not done anything. It’s a most corrupt government under so called honest prime-minister. So next time, Mr Bhagat be little patient while attacking AAP.

Udhav Thackeray repeated AAP, calling it the "item girl" of politics, and taunted its Chief Minister  Arvind Kejriwal, saying even Rakhi Sawant can govern better. He also backed Union Home Minister’s "mad chief minister" jibe against Kejriwal, saying it reflected "people's sentiment".

"A lot of mad people and clowns became part of the country's politics, starting with Raj Narain....The antics of Lalu Prasad Yadav and many others. They came and went. Now a new wave has come and a mad man called Arvind Kejriwal is leading it," Uddhav said in a stinging editorial in party mouthpiece ‘Samana’.

Maintaining that AAP came to power in Delhi "accidentally", he said," They should not take power for granted. Kejriwal has no right to say what he feels like to anybody. By staging dharna he held the people of Delhi to ransom for two days." "Antics of AAP and its leaders, including Kejriwal, have shamed every politician," he said.

"AAP is an item girl of country's politics. Even Rakhi Sawant can govern better than AAP. Those who criticised Sawant should now honour her. Kejriwal and his AAP have become the most infamous item girls," Uddhav said.

Reacting to Uddhav's comment, Sawant, a Bollywood item girl, said, "Thanks to Uddhav ji for giving me this compliment." Sawant further said she felt bad about her name being "dragged into everything."

Mr. Thackeray, the legend of Shiv Sena and a saviour of marathi manush should look back in the history as to how many times they have taken Mumbai, the financial capital of India on to ransom. They never spoke anything when Anna was on dharna because he didn’t pose any challenge to Udhav Thackeray’s political career and party. Is he really frightened of Kejariwal?

If he feels Rakhi can govern better than Kejariwal – it’s a compliment to Rakhi Sawant. Please ensure a ticket from Shiv Sena, she will win a lok sabha seat for the party and help his government govern better in Maharashtra.

Kejriwal is not Lalu or Rajnaraya, he is Arvind Kejariwal and he is here to stay. That is why; he is worry for all the political people and existing political parties. This is a serious worry for all of them, it might help if they follow the spirit and intent of helping common man, otherwise they be ready to perish. Even if Mr. Thackeray writes thousand editorial showing AAP and its leader in bad light, it’s the common people who will decides whom they want whether Kejariwal or Thackeray.

Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid called Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), a party of anarchists, out to destroy the system. He further told, "AAP has some of the worst kind of third rate people across the country. I've been to districts where I've seen the worst stinking person is the first to join AAP. I know how much stink there is in AAP. They're lucky that today every stink is being described as a fragrance."

Mr Khurshid also said "The AAP's ideas are Jurassic, they smell of anarchy. They just demean everything that's time tested. They question and defame anything and then they run away when they think they can't handle the crowds and they start screaming from rooftops."

Reacting to Mr Kejriwal's comment that the 2014 contest was between the BJP and AAP, Mr Khurshid said, "They're mistaken if they think they're in the race. They're running the government in Delhi because we're supporting them."

This is what the colonial mentality of the congress leaders towards common people of India. Indian common people stink and they have made them stink from the time of independence. These leaders have led us by depriving us pushing us into the brink of stinking. They have robbed all the fragrance of all common people and left the stink of them. Its the time common realize how these feudal, colonial, and dynastic leaders of congress think of common people. When election comes they talk different language for seeking our votes but in reality this is what they think of us.

Therefore, wake-up common people – throw these people out who made you stink snatching away all the fragrance from you.
