An Opportunity Squandered
A golden opportunity fell into the lap of Arvind Kejriwal by a windfall which has been completely squandered by AAP leadership.It won 28 seats but still not enough to form government in Delhi but Congress gave unconditional support for what ever intention but 28+8 made it a workable majority in Assembly.Congress also helped them to win Confidence Vote.That was a guarantee for six months to remain in the saddle and deliver to the people of Delhi of its promises.
Kejriwal started as a storm and was swept away by cyclone.Mindless start was indicative of their hurry to throw away the opportunity.Governance is so complex that they should have sat down to plan their way out with the planners who were instrumental in past in running the administration.They should have consulted some experts to finalize their vision.But it was probably their arrogance that they thought they are the last word in governance without any experience.
I have seen even Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts going slow with the matters assigned to them by the Chief Justice where the subject matters were not friendly with them.No Advocate is master of all subjects,when they are elevated to the Bench,still there are some fields which remain untouched.So, when such unfamiliar subjects are assigned to them as Judge, they always tried to go slow and grasp the subject.Once they felt they are fully equipped,they take normal pace.
Dr.Manmohan Singh was suddenly nominated as Prime Minister by Congress President which he had never dreamt of in his life.It was an opportunity which came unexpectedly.He should have proved his worth by serving the people.An economist P.M. got 8.4% growth rate to begin with but he never behaved like a Prime Minister rather started going by what order came from High Command.Their he fell into the trap and threw away the opportunity to function as real Prime Minister and turned out to be just a Robot moving on the signal of his boss though Prime Minister under our constitution has no boss.Dr.Manmohan Singh is ending his 10 yrs. of stint as a P.M having presided over the most corrupt government since independence.
Narendra Modi was a dedicated swayang sewak of RSS since his childhood.He moved from place to place working for RSS like a Faqir,never had any material assets nor did he ever care for it.He had fully dedicated himself to the task assigned to him.Seeing his devotion to work,he was sent to BJP as its office bearer.There also he excelled and was promoted as BJP`s general secretary.In 2001,he was called by Atal Ji,the then Prime Minister and ordered to go to Ahmadabad and take over as Chief Minister of Gujarat.Modi grabbed the opportunity by both hands.What happened thereafter is known world wide.From a dedicated worker ,he quickly transformed into a seasoned politician,had never contested any election till then but mastered the art of electoral politics.
Suffice to say,there is a difference between a performer and a slogan shouter.From street agitation,Kejriwal became the Chief Minister,an opportunity which does not come to even seasoned politicians but Kejriwal got this chance in just 13 months after floating AAP.He should have quickly transformed himself as a performer and should have delivered to the people what he had promised.
It appears,Kejriwal is solely driven by his ambitions.Secondly,he is not prepared to listen to any one,not ready to abide by any law.He strongly believes,his words are final.Thirdly,there is no sane element in AAP,all his followers are Yesmen and are always to endorse his even lunatic view.He wants to quickly climb to the office of Prime Minister without any experience of governance.
I guess,this goof up of throwing away the office of C.M.of Delhi in a huff will finally have a toll on his final ambition.
