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.

Mauka Mauka for the Enemy Within

Two things unite a nation as diverse as India - culture and cricket. When any nation takes part in a world tournament and does well very in the initial stages, one would expect the people of that nation to back the team .... Over the past few weeks we had many intellectuals and prominent media houses hoping that India looses the semi finals against Australia ... It started with noted sociologist Ashis Nandy .... According to Nandy, India is suffering from too much national pride and winning the world cup will make it worse... This was followed by a national poll by a leading print magazine Outlook which asked .. "Should India win the World Cup ? "  You can take the survey here Outlook not only echoed Nandy's sentiments but went on to add that "winning the world cup might just make India's macho and hyper masculine nationalism more intense. Over the last few months, there seems to have been an effort to make a pluralistic India into a homogeniz...

BJP Karyakarta has Won

The earliest memory I have of a BJP karyakarta was of my mother''s colleague and friend called as Rajani aunty . Rajni aunty and her family were dedicated, committed karyakartas of the RSS, Jan Sangh and then the BJP.  Their commitment was so complete that they made every contribution they could - tan, man and dhan. Even in the 1980's when the BJP was a very young party, Rajani aunty and her family stood like a steady rock. When Vajpayee lost in the 1984 election, there were tears in her eyes. Rajani aunty used to work as a professor at the Sophia college in Mumbai. Once she asked a rather innocent question in the GK paper - "Who is the founder of the RSS ? ". The secular Catholic management took a very hard view and she was forced to quit her job. For 2 years she did not have a job but never once regretted her commitment to the ideology. Through her trials , she always stood by the Sangh. Her family for generations and decades stood by the Sangh no matte...

3 'Aamir Khan Moments' of my life

Last week Aamir Khan shared a rather personal conversation he had with his wife. The conversation reflected the fear, anxiety and in-security his family left after incidents like Dadri. There will be no family in India, which has not experienced similar moments due to events that happen in our community, society and country. Let me share 3 'Aamir Khan Moments' of my life The first moment dates back to 1993. Till then the world had not even heard of a serial bomb blast. Bombay (yes it was called Bombay then) was the first city to experience terror at scale. The blasts targeted all key city transit routes at peak hour traffic. There is no way you could escape. I was with my brother at a coaching class at Tardeo. Our teacher suspended the class mid way and asked us to reach home asap. We had no idea what had happened for there were no mobile phones back then. As we tried to reach home, we found that all public transport was suspended. There was chaos, blood and f...
