DELHI ELECTIONS 2015

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.
