Arvind Kejriwal-The fallen Messiah

Lord Arvind Kejriwal speaks to his devotees, perched on a platform. He towers over his worshipers and names the corrupt-the scum of Indian politics. The corrupt, who must be hounded and made to suffer. After all, none other than the almighty Lord himself has so ordained. At least that is what Arvind Kejriwal and his AAPtards would have us believe. Arvind Kejriwal is the incarnation of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus and Zoroaster, raised to the power n. He is the embodiment of truth and courage in this Kalyug. He was sent down by the God himself to rid India of all her ills. He is the modern day messiah, who comes to spread his religion of honesty, probity and accountability, not with a sword, not with a Gospel but with Dharnas, Anshans, Pradarshans and if need be fist fights. God almighty has sent him to us to make India once more the land of bounteous milk and honey, the eternal golden sparrow.

This cult of personality is frankly very sickening. Arvind Kejriwal’s and AAPtards’ self portrayal as poster boys of India’s vibrant democratic structure is unnerving at the very least. Their lofty ideals and their claims of being different and better than all others in the political fray is disgusting. The fact of the matter is that AAP is like any other political party in the country, composed of power hungry and ideology-less goons who want to be known as leaders. There is one difference though, while other established national political parties are slowly moving away from evil of populism and disruptive democracy, Arvind Kejriwal and his party seem to be espousing the ideals of ‘mob democracy’ to force the Kaffirs to believe them and their ideas. In this respect, Arvind Kejriwal is closer to LaMuNi than even the Congress & BJP.

For AAPtards, Intra-party democracy is not very different from a Khap panchayat. Party elders sit and decide what is right and what is wrong and the rest of the party must toe that line. Speak up and you are branded a heretic, Speak louder and you will be purged ( remember YoYa, Bhushan?). Classic replication of Lenin and his “Democratic Centralism”, Stalin and his “Purge Trials”,isn’t it?

Arvind Kejriwal, fortunately is in a role that enables him to dodge accountability, something that comes easily to him. Law and order is bad?, Blame Modi, Traffic snarls?, Blame Modi, Electricity rates?, Blame private DisComs (Modi’s hand no doubt), Civil servants giving you trouble?, Blame Modi. The role of Delhi CM is very interesting in that sense. All that the incumbent needs to do from time to time is to blame either the Central Government, or the LG, or the Police, or anybody else who can be blamed. What can Arvind Kejriwal do? He can scream, shout and protest, which he is doing anyway. Poor, Old, Sheila Dixit, hounded as she was by these AAPtards for crimes against women. She lost the election on an issue that wasn’t even hers (it belonged to one Dr. Singh at the centre). But then, she did not do nautanki of Dharna and Anshan and yelling – see now, thats the difference between maturity and Tamashagiri .

Honestly, people have lost interest in this politics of blaming, in this politics of ‘I am holier than thou’,and worst of all, in this politics of ‘if you disagree with me, you must be evil’. Arvind Kejriwal, is, to compare him with a historical figure, India’s Robespierre. Where Robespierre had the men who had led the French revolution, guillotined, Arvind Kejriwal is busy undoing the revolution that brought him and his cronies to power. AAP is a gross misrepresentation of Young India’s aspirations. Where India wanted stability, AAP offers anarchy, Where India wanted progress, AAP stands for hindrance, Where India wanted democracy, AAP believes in a cult of personality. Devoid of any coherent ideology, other than the deification of its leaders, AAP is no different from any other regressive political party with a provincial mindset and parochial attitude.

So much for being the next big thing on India’s political scene.
