Arvind Kejriwal - Hope for Future India

Arvind Kejriwal is a well-known public figure. He stands out from the rest of the politicians because of his brand of politics, his vision for modern India and the timeliness and relevance of Arvind Kejriwal in the evolving politics of India and rest of the world. 

Arvind Kejriwal spearheaded an anti-corruption movement in India (India Against Corruption) along with Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhusan and any others. After struggling for two years, he ended up creating a political party, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Arvind Kejriwal is a known face on media, newspapers and is a highly respected speaker on issues related to mis-governance and corruption. Arvind always has to answer to hostile, biased, irrelevant questions coming from (paid) media, agents of established parties such as Congress, BJP and others. 

Arvind Kejriwal caught my attention for the first time while he was giving hard-hitting public speeches against flaws of the current system and against the current corruption ministers. His speeches would be so easy and focussed. He would say, "These politicians would all reach a consensus and pass a bill in 5mins if the bill is about hiking their salary". He would present the actual of criminals (convicted for rape, abduction, corruption) out of 552 seats in the Parliament of India. I have rarely heard him speaking without presenting facts.  

He appeared in many interviews. The following link points to one such recent interview. Please watch the video to know of his vision and politics.

P7 Exclusive: Sirf Rajneeti with Arvind Kejriwal

Sometime I think that Arvind tries to answers every question without being assertive and leaving out irrelevant points. In the past, he appeared in a show called Right To be Heard hosted by Rahul Kanwal on Headlines Today. I would like to highlight some of the questions that were asked and how he answered.

Questions: Why did you split with Anna Hazare and Kiran Bedi ? It shows you don't have "genes" (yes, someone mentioned about genes) to get along well with colleagues. How can you make AAP a successful party. You are an anarchist. You were ready to kill Anna when he was on a fast doing protest. How can people trust you ?

Arvind kept saying there was no tension between him and Anna Hazare. There were no differences in opinions. He suggested how Headlines Today should invite Anna Hazare and clarify with him. He kept saying he had the highest respects for Anna Hazare and Kiran Bedi and both of them were honest. 

I think he had answered such questions for umpteen number of times else where. He also lost opportunities to talk something important. It is not difficult to understand that people asking such questions are planted agents of Congress/BJP or paidmedia. I do not understand, why he doesn't say -- We had our differences in opinions. Either you live with it or you don't. If you cannot live with it, don't vote for us but stop asking such meaningless questions. If you think Anna Hazare was mis-led or used, let him follow his own directions now as he is doing. Go and extend support to him.....
