So, the savior of Delhi has resigned. Why? Because his Jan Lokpal was not tabled in the assembly. Let us talk of the series of events that led to this.
AK wants to table a Jan Lokpal bill. The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi asks the Attorney General to review the bill - The AG (and two other experts) get back to the Governor that the bill violates the constitution. So, there will have to be some changes before the bill can be tabled in the Assembly. But, AK refuses to make any changes - if the bill is unconstitutional then the bill would be thrown out in the courts - so what is the point of bringing such as bill? Moreover, in Delhi bills of such nature need LG's approval - well I don't know if that is the best way to handle things - but that is the approved manner. Now, as a CM should you not follow rules? How can you not follow such simple protocols. So, he disagrees and brings the bill and the other MLA's ask him to follow procedure and they will support the bill; He refuses to do so. He resigns because his bill was not tabled.
Simply put it is cheating of the highest order - he knew there is no chance the bill will get passed, he knew that this is not about the bill - it was about him freeing himself from power so that he can campaign all over India. He wants to cash in on the "martyr" syndrome that Indians so easily fall for. Look for the intense campaigning in the next 3-4 months.
I will pose some simple questions to people who blindly support AAP
1. What is the hurry for AAP to move into the whole country - they have not been able to deliver anything in Delhi; why cant they have proved themselves for 5 years and started the national campaign?
2. How will they ensure that the members registering for their party are not corrupt? Most of the people registering now people not sure of getting a ticket in BJP/INC/or other parties - so where is the alternative government? They will not even have time to check on the backgrounds!
3. Why did AAP cancel electricity dues for 25k individuals in Delhi - what about the honest people? The idea that power discoms are colluding to increase prices is possible - but why the hurry in making the judgement? what is the rush (if not for the upcoming elections)? Run an audit and them see if there is a collusion and in that case return the money to consumers (all of them - not just people who attended your rallies).
4. If AAP cannot follow a simple procedure in the Delhi Assembly, how can you expect them to follow the myriad of procedures and tactics involved in foreign policy - Do you think, foreign policy and trade is based on a leader's emotional outburst?
Unfortunately, the truth is there are a number of smart individuals who are caught up in the ideal promised by AAP and are ignoring the "truth" behind AAP. It is time to wake up folks before its too late.
Simply put AAP winning any number of seats above 25 in the coming Lok Sabha election will be more detrimental to India than even UPA forming the government again at the centre. I just hope it does not come to that.
