49 Days of AAP: My view.

A man wearing a muffler, with simple spectacles, the Chief Minister of the National Capital, who promised to abolish corruptive politics, promised to abolish corruption. He also promised not to use any Government vehicle, with only his personal vehicle available for his use. He promised to abolish the red baton culture for politicians. He even promised to improve the living conditions of the people living in slums and to reduce electric power consumption prices.  Yes, he is Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, the IIT-Kharagpur alumnus, who became the people’s leader on 28^th December, 2013. Yet on the lovely 14^th February, the day the word ‘love’ lifts to a different world altogether, Mr. Kejriwal chose to resign from his Chief Ministerial duties. And since then, different views from people have been flooding the media. Well, let me share my view.

A man who had the audacity to challenge the wrongdoings in politics, file an FIR against the richest Indian, use zero security, challenge corruption, is no normal politician, at least for me. I don’t often come across a politician who dares to even step out of his security zone, leave alone the Chief Minister of the national capital.  Many have viewed his time as a 49-day political drama. But, let me assure you one thing. Has any person ever dared to question corruption at the intensity in which he and his team of leaders did? Or has any other depleted, stupid, money-absorbing politician ever tried changing the system? And when someone did try to, people have come out with criticism when he failed to. I admit he failed to deliver most of his promises. But I would salute him, for he tried his level best. I still don’t know exactly why he quit just because the Congress and BJP tried to shield the Jan Lokpal Bill accreditation. His party, the AAP has hinted of a national revolution of his principles, leading to a chance of him being a candidate for the post of PM. I wouldn’t comment as of now, up to which position he would reach to abolish all the common wrong-doings in the Indian politics, but I would certainly wish him luck. Barring a few glitches, I don’t think he has done anything wrong in those 49 days of enlightened rule, and doesn’t deserve the criticism he has been receiving as of late. I am still a believer of the “Arvind Kejriwal- political aspiration”. Jai Hind. Respect.
