Arvind Kejriwal - The biggest fool of India

Some one says he is an ISI agent, some one says he is a Pakistani agent, some one says he is anarchist, while few allege that he is a B team of Congress. But, actually who the hell is this so called Kejriwal? From where the hell has he come, and Why is he interrupting our daily lives? We are all happy and comfortable the way our lives are. We have already accepted that the system can't change. We have already made our own way to either deal with bureaucrats, police, or any other situation; or leave it at God's mercy; saying nothing can be done for this system itself. We have our own comforts to wash our hands off, and blame everything on the system. Such a comfortable life - then why this drama of changing the system? IT HURTS.

He is also a common man like me, you and for that matter anyone else. The only difference being he has actually got a SPINE, the guts to stand against the laid norms and question it's existence, shout that this is NOT RIGHT. He does not blame the system at the comforts of tweeting or posting comments with tea in one hand and mobile/ laptop in another; and stops there. He stands against the system with a belief that if something is not right it should be changed, updated, upgraded. There is no point adjusting ourselves according to laws and rules laid out 60-70 years back. Whatever small steps required to change it, let is start from somewhere by someone.

Some people call him an escapist. An escapist is one who does not want to confront new roles/ situation at the cost of leaving his/ her comfort level. A person who left IRS to fight for RTI (which Rahul Gandhi proudly claims as his own brain child), who left the CM chair on moral grounds which no other politician would have done, it baffles me that how can he be an escapist. He was already in IRS, and had he wished he would have been there accumulating enough wealth as everyone else does. But he left it - for his personal benefits?

A person who has neither got a muscle power, nor enough money or resources, still shows that within 3 months a party can select 400+ good candidates across the country, and put the party on national arena directly competing with two parties there in the system since long. He is the One who does not believe in letting the spirit of himself go afraid by the propaganda of strong opposition by other politicians, as he knows that there will be even bigger obstacles put forward by those who were getting benefited till now. Any step taken by him to improve the system will be back step for these corrupt politicians, and a slap on their ego. Their retaliation is justified, and rightly so.

Still he believes in himself and want to improve the system - for the betterment of common people in India. He is a fool because he does not understand that we are living in a so called MODERN world, where a person has no time to look at anything else than his/ her personal gains, where a person has no time to actually go and donate blood but has all the free time to talk about a person dying from absence of blood in blood bank, where a person has no courage to even confront the rowdies openly molesting a girl but has all the courage to let off their frustration by thrashing a beggar or labour. Who is he fighting for - for himself? He could have lived a better life without these. Ohh, you said gambling for a powerful future for his own - then he must be the biggest gambler in the world who is keeping on stakes everything with a risk or being paid off in future. Well, he is doing it for the very same people whom I just defined above.

When the people have had enough of injustice, harassment and indignity, they no longer agree to play by the rules of the rulers, they make their own rules. Those who are jumping off the cliff to quickly tag Kejriwal for being a dictator, anarchist, disruptive, and dramatist are missing those who are not at all willing to accept a simple fact – THAT KEJRIWAL/ AAP WILL NOT PLAY BY THE SET RULES or LAID NORMS ANY MORE. THEY ARE HERE TO CREATE THEIR OWN.

The politicians in the country want him to be a good boy and take an easier and meek route to protest which they have seen people doing since years, and which never yields any results at all. Whenever a rape happens, whenever an injustice is done, we either protest through a candle light march, or at best share the incident with people. But we often forget that these steps will only focus on the incident, but never on the underlying issue/ cause. The root cause still lies undisturbed, because no one wants to get their hands dirty - all they want is their own houses clean.

The politicians want him to sit in an enclosed secretive area and be advised by his bureaucrats and lose all touch with ground reality. They have been doing this for years and are afraid that any path breaker will let people understand the secrets behind the closed doors, and awaken common man's intellect, which they don't want at all. They desperately want Kejriwal to be similar to them - VVIP security, arrogance, red lights, fleet of cars, sprawling bungalow, hundreds of chamchas and belchas, useless foreign tours and all. Kejriwal knows that if he or his party members fall for these, the very purpose of AAP will be lost. All these politicians have a hidden understanding with each other, wherein politicians do make noises but don’t act against each other, wherein corruption is so widespread in our day to day lives, but everyone want to close their eyes and trying to adjust to it, rather than changing it.

Kejriwal, however, is not all deterred by the smart leg pulling strategies of these politicians. He has a goal and he expects AAM ADMI for whom he is standing aginst the system to come and help him in the same. There are people who have left jobs and working for the party, there are people who are working day in and day out for AAP without getting paid for it. Are they fools or selfish, with a hope that party's fortune will change their fortune?

Again very few people have the spine to take that risk. These are the people who believe on their ethics and morals, and dream for a better corruption free India - India where your police is accountable to your complaints, India where cases are resolved swiftly, India where people don't feel embarrassed admitting their children to Government schools, India where Government hospitals should be considered the best in the town, India where a Government process should not include complex documents and hundreds of approvals, India where starting a firm is not difficult, India where all villages are accessible to roads and electricity, India where small scale industries are encouraged.

All said and done - to haunt everyone, One thing is certain - Kejriwal and his AAP is not going in the sunset soon. He, and his so called antics, are here to stay and haunt our rotten political system more and more. He is re-writing the rules of politics and governance. He is making the people aware about their rights. he is making mute spectators question the Government now. There are now only two options Kejriwal has left for the ruling class – change yourself, or the people will replace You. It's on us what we choose.
