The Curious Case of Arvind Kejriwal





His eyes had the depth that anyone can allure a quick attention. The moustache,kind of Bhagat Singh look added more charisma to his personality as his voice and speech. The first time I saw him at Jantar Mantar with Anna Hazare and Kiran Bedi, he had become weak due to his anshan for days and since the day was of Raksha Bandhan, many tied rakhis to his hand ,but he looked determined  to take on with government one to one. Day by day, he questioned many big stalwarts of politics starting from Salman Khurshid to Pranab Mukherjee to Nitin Gadkari,Robert Vadra he didn’t spared anyone. The dengue mosquito of Politics, as he refers himself do has a kiss of death for corrupt politicians.

24th November 2012, today is the day he launched his new party with new set of values and ideologies which he says has been developed for a proper framework to rework the Real LokPal Bill to be implemented by his government.His Team consists of people like Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Rahul Mehra, ChandraMohan, Mayank Gandhi  who are a good team with intellectual values and the vision given by Anna Hazare himself.

They look united, they look determined, they look aggressive. The real challenge will start when they will win votes and become a party and get into Lok Sabha. The challenge will be in future where to keep aloof from all kind of materialistic ideologies, money power, and nepotism which can degrade the value of party ideology and vision.

I am not pessimistic, though In India most of the political parties all started with good thinking and approach but with time they have changed themselves to dynastic coteries, or  fights and allegations of corruption. The courts have been more pathetic and have never punished any politician for such misdeeds. So while Congress rose from perfect socialist ideology and BJP a core Hindutva party trying to mark its base for all laterally, BSP a group for Bhaujan Samaj and SP as a contender for Thakurs and Rajputs, everyone represented a section and vote Bank.

In this cut throat competition, it would be difficult for Kejriwal to make his own niche and make sure that every Indian should be united against corruption and fulfillment of laws. Even he will face struggle within himself and his party members to ensure that the vision remains intact. Still for his fight against corruption and his sincere voice  “Akela cholo Re” he will sure get full points for his Poorna Swaraj.
