Will Arvind Kejriwal meet same fate like VP Singh?

Arvind Kejriwal

Arvind Kejriwal and late prime minister VP Singh have many things common.

(1) VP Singh was in Congress and was quite close to Rajiv Gandhi while Arvind Kejriwal is cloae to Sonia Gandhi.

(2) VP Singh resigned from Rajiv cabinet on name of Bofors scam. And fought loksabha election on name of bringing Rajiv and Amitabh to justice. Arvind Kejriwal fought Delhi election on name of Sheila Dixit to send her in jail.

(3) However after election VP Sinfh's party Janata Dal formed government with support of BJP and Left parties. Arvind Kejriwal formed govt on support of Congress.

(4) After winning election VP Singh too deviated from issue of corruption and diverted whole nation to mandal (reservation) issue. Nation was wholely polarised and some youths immolated themselves also. Arvind Kejriwal also did dharna against police and Union Home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and diverted attention.

(5) VP Singh virtually did nothing in Bofors case. Arvind Kejriwal however talked too much in press conference, but not named Sheila Dixit in CWG street light scam. He again created controversy by ordering FIR against Veerappa Moily, Murli Deora and Mukesh Ambani, but did it smartly because it may not come under his ambit and ultimately quashed in court.

(6) VP Singh government fell down after BJP withdrew support. Here Kejriwal resigned himself as he failed to move JanLokpal bill in Delhi assembly.

(7) Narmada Bachao Andolan fame Medha Patkar is also common factor between V P Singh and Arvind Kejriwal. Medha ended her protest by accepting lime juice offered by V P Singh at Jantar Mantar in 2006. Medha Patkar also joined Anna Hazare's anti corruption movement in 2011. Medha has also supported Kejriwal's AAP and is believed that she would fight loksabha elections also.

(8) VP Singh govt and Janata Dal was full of contradictions. There were too much differences between the ministers and party members. VP Singh faced quite rough weather due to deputy prime minister Devi Lal. Arvind Kejriwal also faced rough weather due to his favourite minister Somnath Bharti. Also there are so much differences between members. Captain Gopinath was against Kejriwal's dharna. Kumar Biswas was praising Narendra Modi which was opposed by Mallika Sarabhai. Prashant Bhushan's advocacy of taking referendum had to be denounced by Arvind Kejriwal.

(9) One more similarity. Predecessor of V P Singh, Rajiv Gandhi was heavily guarded whereas V P Singh visited Golden Temple, Amritsar in open jeep. It was widely appreciated. Arvind Kejriwal too shunned security (however at auto risksha drivers conventions which was his last programme, and other programmes before he resigned, he was seen with guards and Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said, Kejriwal is provided security).

After VP Singh govt fell down, VP Singh never become prime minister again. It would be interesting to see whether Arvind Kejiwal meet same fate. 

What is game plan of Kejriwal behind declaring corrupt leaders' list?

#AAPGovtInDelhi: Was declaration of contesting against so called corrupt politicians a gimmick of Arvind Kejriwal to divert attention from power cut and power tarriff rise in Delhi? 

Last time Kejriwal sat on dharna when there were high chances that police register FIR against law minister Somnath Bharti for his misbehaviour, abuse and alleged racist comment against Ugandian ladies. But instead Kejriwal smartly made Delhi police standing in cage of  accused.  

We know that Kejriwal fought against Sheila Dixit and defeated her. But in a way Sheilajee won as Kejriwal now doesn't talk about her corruption. 

So if he decides to field competant candidates against UPA leaders, (1) he is making impression strong that he is against Congress and in gaining votes, he could be first contender and BJP is second. And (2) He may be ensuring that these so called corrupt politicians get defeated but after election they will be in winning position like Sheila Dixit. But he conviniently forgets that Somnath Bharti has been indicted by CBI court for influencing prosecution witness. Bharti was defending client in corruption, I repeat, corruption case. 

As per Times Of India report,  CBI judge hauled up Bharti and his client Pawan Kumar - facing prosecution on corruption charges - after the CBI accused them of influencing a prosecution witness by speaking to him on phone and discussing the case. (For full report click here: http://m.timesofindia.com/city/delhi/Somnath-Bharti-was-indicted-for-tampering-with-proof/articleshow/28765005.cms)

So there are high chances in future too that whenever Kejriwal himself or Any AAP leader be in fix, instead of defending, Kejriwal may create such high tension drama to divert attention.

Why people felt betryed from Arvind Kejriwal in short span?

Why is there so much noise about #AAP ministers taking official cars or kejriwal taking duplex bunglows? Because AAP created their image as simple and sewabhavi people. We created same hue and cry when there were lavish wedding at houses of netas like Gadkari. We were just tired of VIP culture. We were tired from paying high electricity bills snd water charges. We believed in paying income tax and other taxes but expected good facilities. Good and non corrupt behaviour from govt clerks and officers. So when Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare led movement against corruption we middle class and youths came on sadaks. We belived that there will not be any compromise against corruption. If Arvind Kejriwal promises he will fulfill. But he broke his children's kasam of not taking support of Con-grace or BJP. He became silent on Sheila Dixit after forming govt. There are many other points on which we feel betryaed. In Delhi assembly at time of trust vote his speech was very touchy. But at same time his and his colleagues behaviour and silence tend to believe us that he is not different from other so called corrupt leaders. There are other chie ministers like Mamata Banerjee, Manik Sarkar, Manohar Parrikar, who have simple life styles and never they or their partymen went gaga on it while Kejriwal and their party workers made a publicity issue. Thats why there is so much noise against Kejriwal and his party. Gussa to logo ko corrupt system par tha hi, wo aur bhi badh gaya in dhongi sadgiwale logo se.
