Hypocrisy at Height
‘Main to bahot chota aadmi hun, aur ek aam aadmi hun’ - AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal on several occasions during TV interviews.
However, as soon as police takes him for briefing/asks permission on his road shows and visit in Gujarat, his supporters comes on the street and he claims that how can they do this to ex-cm.
May I ask if the state police anywhere would detain Modi or Sonia Gandhi for the same reasons? They dare not - but they dare to detain Kejriwal! - Ashutosh on his NDTV Blog
Does that mean you should get same treatment as those whom you are calling corrupt? In Delhi you are complaining that Police is not doing their work, in Gujarat you are complaining that Police has no right to do it. When the fact is as soon as the Election Commission announce the date, police reports to election commission and not to state government.
On the funny note - This week (week of March 3) Kejariwal declared that
There is no evidence of development in Gujarat - Times of India
While traveling more than 1000 km in one day with few stops. My point is traveling 1000 km in one day itself indicates that at least roads and traffic might be better compared to other part of the country. Anyway, whatever is the reason, I am from Gujarat and I see development. Of course, I agree its not as much as its been hyped by BJP, but there is relatively good amount of development compared to how it was in 2004 as well as compared to other states.
The point is I am not saying that you praise your opponent, but don’t just blindly oppose someone without knowing fact. It just might hurt you more than it help you.
Another U-turn when it comes to house in Delhi, Kejariwal kept saying that he don’t want house like Sheila Dixit or any other prior minister who served in Delhi at the same time timesnow revealed that he had expedite the process of double side 5-bedroom duplex. There is no question on the relative simplicity of the way he ran the government and taken excessive benefits, but why show people that I haven’t requested this and whatever size house has been offer i will accept it. Whatever you need to serve in government, you need it and you should take it. What is the point of drama?
Before election - we are neither going to take support from Congress or BJP nor support them in anyway. Now I can understand why BJP was not trying to break any MLA from other parties, and it’s because AAP set the higher standards. At the same time you change you stand and takes support from Congress. Now all the campaigning before election against congress, Sheila Dixit & Co. With proof of papers etc goes missing. You get busy giving free goodies, before completing anything task fully ( why I say fully, because your government giving reduction in electricity bills based on hope that you will find wrong doing by power companies just by audit so it’s not permanent cut, and you provide free water like phone company offer that too only to the people who got water lines) an takes credit for all. Plan is good, but touch part is execution.
In all good faith, I am supporter of the youth who wants to fight against corruption and get transparency in to the system, however I cannot fool myself by believing actions of the AAM Aadmi Party. My request is you can do much better than this, don’t follow this media seeking shows. Once I had high hope with the birth of AAM Aadmi Party, in last two months it got blurrier.
