Kejriwal's resignation

  • Political rivals call it a cheap publicity stunt...to gain something bigger
  • Political analysts call it an excuse to focus more on LS polls...to gain something bigger
  • AAP says it is about renunciation(of Power) and taking moral responsibility. That the above folks cannot fathom this concept. It seems unthinkable to them that something can be done WITHOUT some bigger motive in mind. I agree about these other folks...but the issue is not their response, but his resignation. 

Interviewers should pose the simple question to Arvind Kejriwal: "How exactly does your resignation help the state/nation?" If he goes on about taking moral responsibility - thank him for his intentions, but ask him to do what is done when 'taking moral responsibility' : APOLOGIZE for his failure. 

He will not - as was evident

When hope wins an election - and what AAP should watch out for

Cynicism is the nemesis of hope. And hope is never a bad thing. But great hopes bring the risk of great disillusionment; and an overhead too.  In addition to crushing our hope - it brings down our ability to hope further. The hope that AAP has brought to the masses is in itself their greatest gift. But we have seen our hopes crash earlier, when we hoped for a corruption-free India in 2011 - courtesy Anna's Jan Lokpal movement. It did not work out despite Anna and co's greatest intentions. Will AAP learn from those mistakes? Avoid the same now?
