In appreciation of AK

This LS 2014 Elections ... will you, the voter, make a promise ?

“The AAP will make no promises to you. Instead it will ask you to make a promise. This time you will not cast your vote on the basis of kinship. You will forget caste; you will drive away the distributors of alcohol and money. AAP has not come to ask you for your vote. If there is anything we ask of you, it is to have faith in yourselves; and to listen to the voice of your soul. This election is not about the victory or defeat of political parties; it is about victory or defeat within ourselves. In front of the voting machine, we must think of the future of our children, the future of our city and our dreams for the future of our country.” Short link http://bit.ly/meera4mumbai

In appreciation of AK

Sajjid Mitha says:

He's been in office a little over three weeks. He's a serious kid with no political experience but a will to fight the system. He thinks out of the box and many of his actions may seem unconventional. But rather than ridicule him I for one salute this man who has balls of steel and a true vision for a better India. For once I sincerely hope the educated elite embrace the vision of the Aam aadmi as far as political governance is concerned. India needs Kejriwal to flush out everything that is wrong in the system for neither you nor I are likely to do it.

For the first time post independence the Aam aadmi has one more thing in his heart other than faith and prayer. He has a very real hope that his children may just have an opportunity to have a relatively honest government in power. How easy it is to criticize and so difficult to appreciate. We constantly ridicule the system and when some brave heart emerges we waste no time in bashing him. I prefer to play the 'wait and watch' game and embrace the Aam aadmi's thought process of hope for a better India.

Why did Arvind Kejriwal resigned as the Delhi Chief Minister?

Well, here is the answer.

AAP got only 28 of 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly election. Still, the Lt Governor invited Arvind to form the government, as the Congress (with 8 seats) had offered unconditional support. Finding it hard to believe, Arvind sent a letter to the Congress President listing out the 18 points in the AAP manifesto, including passing of the Jan Lokpal bill. The Congress reverted saying it will support AAP unconditionally on all 18 points. With this commitment, Arvind formed the minority government in Delhi.

However, when AAP presented the Jan Lokpal bill in the Assembly, the Congress and the BJP came together to ensure the bill is not passed. The Aam Aadmi Party had won the vote and trust of citizens of Delhi on the plank of anti corruption. And since the minority government could not pass the Jan Lokpal bill that was promised to citizens of Delhi, Arvind resigned.
