AAP's Evolution - Swaraj to Sex

In 2012 a movement was born with a promise to fight corruption and de-centralize governance. Swaraj and Lokpal were the words that defined the movement. The movement did well to awake the conscience of the country and its political class. Every social movement ends up with a political avatar to monetise its gains and thus AAP was born.

Many expected that Swaraj and Lokpal would define the ideology of the party. The first Kejriwal government was defined not by Swaraj or Lokpal but by Opportunism & Anarchy. Kejriwal joined forces with the Congress for the sake of power; instead of governance we got anarchy and in-experience. Chaos and confusion were the hallmarks of the first Kejriwal government. Opportunism got the better of AAP and they ditched Delhi to pursue their own ambitions.

The country punished AAP and they lost deposits in most of the seats that they contested elections in 2014. Kejriwal apologised and begged for another chance. Having invested so much in the movement , people were generous enough to forgive Kejriwal. The reason for voting him in was - 'Lets give him one chance ....'

Post the 2015 win, Kejriwal turned into a Stalin and Mao who used his powers not to fight corruption but his own men and women. AAP turned into an arrogant, abusive force which would purge anyone who would question or criticise its supreme leader.

The arrogant, abusive force soon changed character ... it now became a symbol of corruption, fraud and mis-governance. Ministers were found be ace fraudsters who run a fake degree rackets;ministers were caught taking bribers from builders. Crores of public are being spent on samosas for AAP volunteers ,500 crores on party propaganda and plum posts for chamchas. AAP governance model is to convert public money for private party use and reward themselves with 400% hikes.

As if corruption, fraud , mis-governance was not enough we have a new face of AAP emerging - a sexist primitive party that thinks of women as unattractive and undesirable if they are not sexually active.  According to AAP , the worth of a woman is her ability to sexually gratify men. This mindset is seen in Punjab where according to AAP's own MLAs , sex for tickets is being institutionalised. Cases of rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence are common cases against AAP party leadership.

From Swaraj to Sex, the party now stands for all that is wrong in politics.

As this evolution of AAP goes on, Arvind Kejriwal is busy visiting spas, tweeting on movies and abusing Modi.

Manohar - One who could win hearts and minds

They say that it is easy to defeat anyone, winning people over is the most difficult thing to do. Manohar Parrikar true to his name dedicated his life to winning people over. My first interaction with Manohar Parikkar was 5 years ago. Elections had been announced and Manohar Parikkar was asked to address IT professionals living in and around Outer Ring Road in Bangalore. New Horizon College was the venue. On that lazy Sunday, I managed to show up at the venue 15 before time. Politicians are known to arrive late but Manohar Parrikar was already there mingling with the IT crowd. He speech consisted of 2-3 stories with foksy humor and wisdom. He wanted the IT crowd to engage in politics, to participate in nation building, I still remember his story "Once upon a time, Goa was known for the best watermelons. Every year post the harvest season, farmers in every village would invite people to taste the best watermelons for free. There was only one condition, they had to spit ou...

Mahaghatbandhan Meltdown

Over the last 9 months, regional leaders had worked very hard to build an anti-Modi front. They did not contest seats, swallowed pride and also shared a platform with the very parties against whom they had contested all their lives. These regional parties did all this with only one hope - survival. They believed that if they all came together, they could put up a credible fight against Modi in 2019. It would be painful for each one of them to concede seats but at least survival was possible. The Mahaghatbandhan strategy was put to test during the bypolls. Vote banks were combined; lifelong enemies (BSP-SP) came together and the BJP was defeated in the bypolls. Mahaghatbahndhan despite its inherent contradictions seemed to work. Desperation was the binding glue. NDA, on the other hand, seemed to lose friends. The Shiv Sena remains miffed as it is relegated to a supporting role, TDP walked out as it was unable to take on YSR at the local level. On top of this, media build a ...
