Achhe Sitare or Achhe Din of BJP?
Arvind
Kejriwal is all set to be next Chief Minister
of Delhi. He should be thankful to his old colleague Mrs. Kiran Bedi in IAC and
must not forget to express his special gratitude to her on 10th
Feb, 2015.
The election for the 70 member Delhi Assembly is scheduled
on 7th February, 2015. The contest is mainly between under-nourished,
infant Aam Aadmi Party(AAP), suffering with severe financial constraints for
survival and mighty with well experienced, super rich BJP, having the luxury of
designer signature suits by its leadership.
Until two weeks
ago, it was a tough contest between BJP & AAP. The election took a dramatic
turn with the so called masterstroke with the announcement of Kiran Bedi as CM
candidate of the party. Most political Pundits opined that this move of PM Modi
and BJP President Amit Shah has put to rest all discussions about the new Chief
Minister of Delhi. Kiran Bedi is perceived an honest candidate with no
political baggage unlike most other BJP leaders and a crusader of corruption.
All these characteristics of BJP were good enough to neutralize the clean image
of Arvind Kejriwal,CM candidate of AAP, who was also a leading member of IAC
and colleague of Kiran bedi in the movement against corruption.
This move literally meant marching orders to
Arvind Kejriwal & AAP, by most experts. But I strongly felt that this
decision could lead to an end of Achhe Sitare or Achhe Din of PM Modi.I twitted
on 17th January,2015.

The
experts and political masters of BJP completely missed that similar game plans
–bringing a new CM candidate—Sushma Swaraj, Harshvardhan have
failed in the past in Delhi. Induction of Kiran Bedi in BJP, a naïve in
politics just 20 days before the elections and declaring her CM candidate is as
ridiculous as asking a student of engineering to write an examination for final
year of medicine course. Kiran Bedi is very arrogant and egoistic with no or very little idea about politics. In
fact, last year ,she rightly said that she is not suitable for politics and
will not enter politics She needed sometime to be groomed by political experts
within BJP..
After her announcement as CM candidate of
BJP, her ego got such a boost that she immediately started behaving like an
arrogant Chief Minister of Delhi. She believed that due to Modi wave her
victory is a foregone conclusion. Some obvious questions about her past by the
media bewildered her. She entered the Ganges for the holy dip and went right in
the middle with the strong belief that the Ganges has been cleaned by PM Modi
and is safe, not realizing that it is yet to be cleaned and made safe.
Recent interviews of Kiran Bedi, refusal to
participate in debate and some unorthodox comments about her opponents made her
laughing stocks in the media and middle class voters. It virtually meant
garlanding Arvind Kejriwal as next Chief Minister of Delhi .A good number of
middle class voters who have alienated from AAP due to its some policies during
last one year started looking back at it. Kejriwal with a strong following with
the lower class and the precious gift to him (middle class voters) by Kiran Bedi once again
made him the darling of Delhi voters.
The final result will be known on 10th
Feb,2015. However, all leading
indications are pointing a victory for Arvind Kejriwal. Hope that he fulfills
the promises that he is making to the people of Delhi.
