i am judgemental on kejriwal because of the hype.if he were to be another politician i wouldn't care but many seems to present him as the best option which i don't agree with.
And what do you have to say about the hype surrounding Modi? The much-hyped Modi-Wave? ? How do you judge him? Are you against him becoming the PM as well because he is hyped? As far as Kejriwal is concerned, I don't care if he becomes the PM or not. I look at him as the face of the Aam Aadmi Party and the representative of the common man , not their Bhagya Vidhata. This is a battle of ideologies, not Kejriwal vs. Modi vs. Rahul. There may very well be someone in AAP better suited to be the PM than Kejriwal. We just don't know that yet.
anyway let's take a look at the facts:
1.won good no. of seats,had popular support,offered support by both opposing parties,had an amazing chance to run a govt for full 5 years yet gave up in less than 50 days.this is the man supposed to run entire India for years,laughable.
You know, what really is laughable is people believing that the Congress ever intended to unconditionally support AAP. Even Sheila Dikshit said and I quote "We had said that we will give them outside support. The support is not unconditional." And it wasn't. They were against AAP on each and every single issue they took up, be it reduction in electricity prices, providing free water or audit of the electricity suppliers. They also opposed AAP and unsurprisingly so, when they ordered SIT probe on the '84 riots. Did I miss anything? Well then, Weren't these part of AAP's manifesto on which the Congress agreed to provide unconditional support? Or is that what you call an unconditional support? And what did BJP do? The same thing of course even after declaring that they will play the role of a constructive opposition. Were the narebaaji and slogans of Kejriwal murdabaad in the LA constructive in any way? Tabling the janlokpal bill in the LA without center's permission was unconstitutional but the way the BJP opposed it by protesting like barbarians was constructive & constitutional? Laughable. And you call it an amazing chance to govern?
They didn't even want to take support from Cong/BJP but they had to because the people pressurized them. It was BJP's duty to take up the challenge as they had the highest majority but they ran from their responsibility. And do you have any idea what it takes to willingly resign from a position like that when you know that as soon as you give it up you'd lose all the power and authority that you earned through your hard-work all of which will be wasted and you'd again become a nobody? No power-hungry and greedy person would ever do that in their right mind even if he thinks that he has a shot at being PM. It takes a honest and selfless soul to pull out such a move who puts the country before himself and not the other way round.
2.in those 49 days gave relief to defaulting customers while giving a heart burn to those who actually pay bills.same as other parties giving sops to defaulters then crying about budget losses but at least they are shrewd enough to extract financial assistance from centre unlike kejriwal.
Yeah, that was a very bad decision on AAP's part. For that one time, I hated them and really hoped that Kejriwal will come out with a formal apology after realizing how unfair it actually was to law-abiding citizens. BTW did he? I don't know. But since then I've forgiven them. After all they're human beings and human beings make mistakes. Although I really do hope this kind of act won't be repeated in the future or they will lose my support for sure.
3.appoint a law minister who takes law into his own hands,risking India's foreign relations with African countries where China is making huge inroads for strategic gains(something any serious civil services aspirant with just a graduation degree knows),so much for well educated & intellectual people.
4.opposed FDI in multi-brand retail because it hurts small traders when most here would drool at the prospect of buying latest gadgets from amazon international in India or buy that lcd monitor from walmart with no hassle return policy.name is AAP but favours small traders who are definitely not 'aam aadmi'.
5.has no clearly defined foreign policy stand except the statement of "we will try to go along with every body(TV) & won't tolerate terrorism & border incursions".this party is supposed to manage nukes surrounded by 2 hostile nuclear powers,again laughable.what will it do to not tolerate terrorism or border incursions,go to war with pak or china or just issue a statement condemning them?clearly immature when it comes to geopolitics as already shown in point 3 above.
How do you know if Somnath Bharti was guilty? Just as you can't blame Modi for the Gujarat riots as he was given a clean chit by the top courts, similarly you can't blame Bharti as long as he isn't found guilty by the same.
And why are you reading so much into some random comments made by some random AAP members? How can you be so sure that they don't have a clearly defined foreign policy and that they won't be able to handle geopolitical matters? Why are you making so many presumptions? What are BJP's and Cong's stand on these issues? Do enlighten me.
P.S.this is modern world not 19th century british empire or 20th century USSR to talk about "collapsing civilizations".
Believe me, it doesn't matter what century this is, empires and civilizations have risen & fallen in the past and will continue to rise and fall in the future. Everything that has a beginning, has an end as well and it's inevitable. What I'm afraid of is that by putting the country/world in the hands of evildoers, we are just rushing towards the end faster than we're supposed to.
