An Open letter to Arvind Kejriwal

Dear Mr. Arvind Kejriwal,

I remember the day vividly when you gave that rousing speech in the Delhi assembly and the interview to television channels thereafter. There was a rythm in you that wanted me to take notice of your party and you again and again. The way your muffler hung around your neck, covering the constant bouts of cough, you seemed every inch an aam admi. No other politician would dare to have expressed the simplicity in such manner as you portrayed. I was glad that Delhi voters had chosen a government that could give them corrupt free governance sans the drama and the shenanigans that surround the traditional political parties. Barely 3 weeks into governance you have found yourself in a political quagmire. Your dharna in the national capital threw the city into chaos and caused hardship to several lakh aam admis. The same people whom you did not want to be victims of the lal batti culture. I am depressed that a righteous man like you who spoke so passionately about the issues that affects the aam admi should actually so vehemently shield your law minister who did the most absurd thing at midnight violating the legal procedures.  And that you bought the entire cabinet to the streets was only appalling. Enforcement should be through rule of law not vigilantism.The recent events have only proved your greedy and over ambitious nature. From being the humble and honest party you are now called the party in hurry.  I agree the issue you raised is an important one that needs to be debated, discussed but not in the manner that you have exhibited.

You have a task at hand. To give Delhites the best governance. Why don’t you concentrate on that? There is so much that you can do with your good offices to bring about a holistic change to our capital. And we believe you are the best man to deliver that change. Why are you drifting from your path?. The 16^th Lok Sabha elections may be the mother of all but why don’t you give that a skip and concentrate on giving the best to the people who voted you. Let the yuvaraj and maharaj sweat it out.

Mr. Chief Minister, you are the system now.  You are new to the game but we embraced and trusted you to govern Delhi. We are more than ready to give you the time to settle down and find your act together. But please don’t let us question our decision to support you period

Yours Truly,

Aam Admi from the south of Vindyas.
