Dear BJP/CONG you said #AskKejri - here are your answers


Today #AskKejri was trending on twitter with some valid questions and other silly questions. I thought i will spend answering these. I have tried my best to answer the questions here. Took me around 7 hours.



Most of the answers came directly to my mind. And many after doing research.



This article is intended to start an environment where questions are answered and not evaded (Like how its done by people in BJP and Congress)


Also, I believe this article will diminish the propoganda created by BJP/Cong supporters against AAP.

Enjoy!


Arvind Kejriwal asking Dr. Harshvardhan to submit proof was a witty remark (taken with much less humour across), for question asked by a reporter citing Dr. Harshvardhan asking action against Shiela Dhikshit, infact on the first day of assembly (but not on BJP's MCD).

The speech cited in the first part of the video, where Kejriwal cites 360 pages "proof", contains mainly of news paper articles and clippings which could have been worth to start an investigation (much less a winning case). Since coming to power, Delhi's vigilance unit has been going through overhaul - as it had mere 40+ staff - which may not be enough to pull up cases. Secondly, a lot of documents might have gone missing or in fact destroyed by now. To start a case, and to make it go through court - anybody starts with an intent to win it, not just to file it. Hence I believe the whole work on the vigilance department is in process to put up a strong case for CWG corruption.









This video will give you some idea>






Also this one to expand your knowledge about kejriwal who's been working for people in slums long before we were not even talking about corruption etc! >>









Dear sir, i do not think that Kejriwal asks for Bharat Ratna. Like people in BJPCONG do.

Moreover, corruption had gone down in Delhi during his rule. And your claim that during his regime gang-rapes increased is completely fascist!





Is Modiji Ran away from Gujarat CMship? Is he not fighting Lok Sabha elections? What kind of logic is that? After 20th Feb, there was Achar Samhita and anyway Kejriwal would have time to campaign. So this is an absurd logic that he quit because of that!

BJP IS THE REAL BHAGODA!>> 
The great BJP od Delhi had 32 seats. Along with 2 independent candidates, + Binny. But BJP is still shying away from forming the govt.

Who's Bhagoda?
It takes guts to run a minority govt. Which Kejriwal did inspire of his belief that he never wanted to take support from Congress. he did so because people wanted him to do it! It was public demand!

And he is not a traitor that he will keep his personal benefits first!

Talking about why he resigned :>> 
Without having a stronger anti-graft law. The cases against Commonwealth Games And Sheila Dixit would run in court for years. Like in cases of Laloo, Kalmadi , A Raja etc. And he has gone their to do work!

If he was running away, why would he be fighting elections again? do u have an answer for that?

Also, for your general knowledge. I must tell your that after his resignation :
  • - DONATIONS increased upto 700% on AAP website.
  • - As much as 67% people said that he did the right thing by resigning.
By abusing him and calling him bhagoda. you re disrespecting the mandate of as much as 67% of Delhi voters.

Grow up! Don't oppose everything blatantly. Its not only harmful for your BJP but also for the country.







It was a FAKE string Operation. Not a single penny was taken. Even election commission issued a notice regarding the same. Watch this video and at least don't deny the truth!





What more do you want him to say? If hiding my donation source is not corruption. I don't know what in the world is!




Chalo aapne ye to maana ki Umda hai AK. It he acting or not? Public knows! And Support in haryana Prooved that AK is not acting but speaking for Aam Aadmi, who's pissed off by orthodox politics!




Again, making fun of health!?

BTW, you would not know AK is suffering from Diabetes?

 He is putting his health at stake by getting into all this. You probably want to ignore these facts and keep on abusing him.

But that's not good Karma. Sorry!


<


Are trends an indication of losing or winning? Kejriwal Gives 10 times more interviews than Modi. He faces questions. Tough questions and answers with full conviction! That's how politicians should be.



This subsidy is given to people of Delhi, reliance is not getting any extra money. Do you even realize this? The benefit goes to the poor.



AK met many people during campaigns. Muslims, auto walas, Sikhs, but unfortunately you guys only had eyes on his statements about Muslims. He went to temples too! You just ignored that!

Btw, AK has respected the decision of court in this. And you must also be aware that there are as much as 500 of fake encounter cases in India. You don't seem to know the fact that to make a fake encounter look real sometimes co-officers kill policemen. Too.


Here is a video to educate you in this issue>


Another one




Are all encounters fake? Certainly NO!

But no one can deny the fact that politicians stage these encounters to score political points. And fake Encounters are a sad state of affairs in India which needs to be discussed!



Many police men lose their lives to make a staged encounter look real! So,?

 What do u have to say about Fake encounters? Do they not happen in India? Do u know that the case AK was referring was pending in court and was allegedly fake at the time when AK said. Once, court said that encounter was okay. AK respected that decision. And you should now stop politicizing it!










Certainly, no! Anyone can become a member of the party, but important positions will be given only to people with clean backgrounds.

I hope BJP does the same with Yeddyurappa and come in competition with AAP!


EXACTLY! BJP and CONGRESS came together to call it unconstitutional! Here watch this video where experts also believe the same



Well, you ve no option but listen to this because your BJP does not show its donation sources like AAP does on AAPTrends.in

And here are some proofs for you, found just doing a simple google search>>>

These are conservative estimates. 







Sorry for inconvenience> Actually, AAP does nt have lot of money to buy satellite equipment and multi camera shots. Someone from the crowd only sent this image u can see here.



Happy??



Why are You asking questions to Kejriwal? Are you Congress's agent?




Visit AAPTRENDS.IN  and you will know how many patriots are donating for AAP.





Raising questions when people are hiding their donation sources. IS MY BIRTH RIGHT! And there is nothing wrong in that!


And this is just a partial list! happy?




Here is an article with detailed answer on how much AAP has gone to courts

And we all know that in current system Kalmadi, A raja, Laloo, Kanimozi are all out! There is not much point in going to the courts unless there are stronger laws. And that's the reason precisely why AAP is formed.

To change politics!






Firstly, You ve no proof against Anjali Damaniya that she's corrupt. Secondly,

PLEASE HAVE A LOOK IN THIS VIDEO WHERE GADKARI SAYS THERE IS NO PLACE FOR HONEST IN POLITICS

Mr Gadkari believes that if you fight with clean people then you will lose elections! Why are you trying to save such a man?


Living in govt accommodation is not a crime! The problem is that ministers and MLAs MPs splurge and spend millions on these. The idea is to save money and spend only minimum possible.

Kejriwal does not have a house near Delhi secretariat that's why he sought a home for him.

Please remember 150 crore renovation costs by Modiji for his two big bungalows in Gujarat


1 crore renovation was done in these last month. If money like this is saved could be utilized to provide facilities to the poor!

Kejriwal took a 5 room apartment which is given to IRS level officer. You call it too much?



Go to any reliance store and ask how much salary do people get? Reliance is known to exploit people give less salaries.

Then go to any CA and ask him how much theft Ambani do to save tax.

This money does not add to our GDP but goes out in swiss banks. The same issue which baba Ramdev had raised. Today, all of a sudden why has it turned around in a different way for you?

Please don't support crony capitalism, it will hurt all of us in long run!






That's a hypothetical question. But even if we consider it. If there's fire what do u expect? Not say anything just move out quickly and not make people aware?

Raising question and creating awareness is the blood of democracy. Don't try to suck on it!



No, we are most likely to start chai pe kitna kharcha... uska source kaun bharta !  :)









An IRS officer earns around 70-80,ooo rupees salary. One package to Singapore costs 40,000 rupees. Per person. I do not think a trip to Singapore where the family is standing in public place like an AamAadmi much to get alarmed of?

And shall we stop attacking someone's personal life? Would you tomorrow ask him why he bought 2 kg apples? Common!





Experience of what? IN BJP CONGRESS>
Riots, hidden donations, corruption, giving 6 lakh crore subsidy to coporates?
Experience of being son of a political father? 

Or AAP>
IAS/IRS officers, ex-Bankers, CEOs, Engineers, Doctors, Lawyers. Such kind of people? in AAP



Kejriwal is not a traitor. He took the decision because WE people wanted him to take it. He is not traitor who will run govt on his personal opinions and beliefs,.

Moreover, it was a minority government. Congress was sitting in opposition. Sitting in opposition is not giving support exactly. We all saw the love of Congress and BJP to stop Janlokpal bill though!

That's the confidence of Congress BJP to fool people of the country!

What he did was in open air, not hiding anything. So get over it! And move on to more important issues.




Nothing wrong. But starting a project by lowering the bid, then delay the project and double the cost of project. Not paying income tax, Dude, that's not allowed!

Do honest business, who's stopping you?



Aam Aadmi is anyone who is clean and makes money through his work/talent and not eating up public money. That's the difference!


He is not negative. He is very optimist. It is the people who were negative about the state of our country! Today, Kejriwal has given us a hope. People today who never attended a single rally are now taking part in politics. What's more optimist than that?

Crores of money is looted in India. India ranks not even in top 100 in many standards. And you say there's nothing to criticize? You need some education!


Even Anna says  Arvind  did not betray me

Its funny how BJP and congress are cooking up stories here.
We all know it was both Cong and BJP who betrayed people by not passing Janlokpal in the center!



So what do you suggest? Let 54000 crores scam happen and 130 crore people of this suffer from price rise?



AAP's Votebank is:
- Dalits,
- people living in slums
- people living in posh areas
- hindus, muslims, sikhs, christians

Today, AAP is only party which has most versatile voter base. And the reason is that politics is done on transperancy and corruption issues.





Its calculated on the basis of guidelines specified by Election commission.





Kejriwal gives more interviews than all BJP and Congress people put together. What more do you want?




So you mean to say Shinde is Aam Aadmi? Lol.



the moment when Kejriwal goes in TV interviews and faces tough questions and gives clear answers. That moment when on one blog most answers are given by AAP members without being unpolite.

What say?




Give up soon? You think with Lokpal stuck in center for years and no corrupted going to jaiol being CM would be of any help?


Yes, its appaling that people are against him. But i hope people will start changing their stand soon.



Silent? He has answered 100000 times. All is accounted for and available on www.aaptrends.inhttp://www.aaptrends.in








Ek jhoot bhi bola?




Kumar Vishwaas is a professional poet and makes lakhs of rupees for doing shows.




There's a difference between IRS and IAS officers. Most IRS officers who were appointed in Delhi were never been transferred. Go and check it.




Nothing yet proved. If proven he will be expelled from AAP. 










Terrorists are able to infiltrate our country because internally we are weak. If we have corrupt people we can never develop an information network like US.

Today, corrupts who are running the country are not focusing much on building systems that track down terrorists. That's how US works. (Find videos of ur own Swamyji talking about this). You can't kill people and stop terrorism. If that was the solution then it wud stop long back.



Wait and watch, in some time your observation will change even further.




Remember how Ambani met LG and now the subsidy is taken away, BTW. On one hand BJP accuses of giving Dole to Ambani and on other hand speaks on this. hadh hoti hai self contradiction ki!





Sitting MLAs. You know there are not sitting anymore? Have resigned from office?Not following news properly?



First, the premise that sharing a different stance than status quo makes one a naxal is ridiculous to say the least. By this proposition, there will never be a change.


Remember what BJP said during Anna Movement?. That Anna's movement is peaceful and democratic!

At that time, this movement was pious and "Janta ka Gussa".
 Today, (because its shaking your political pillars) it has become
Naxal movement?

Lol!

Bhai, people know the deal with BJP n Congress. Open Myneta.info   People know what kind of candidates BJP has all over India.

Right now Swamy may be saying AAPians are naxals and communists, but with each passing month it will become more and more clear even to him that there is no way out of the current mess, except the agenda that AAP has put up, namely, Jan Lokpal, Swaraj, right to recall, decriminalization of politics, and so on.

AAP's agenda is nobody's private agenda; most democracies are moving in a similar direction, e.g., decentralization of power, steadily; this is the need of the times.

Thus, more and more of the statements that Swamy and other BJPians will make in the coming months will contradict their earlier positions against AAP.


For example, it was casual of Swamy and others to say that AAPians are naxals because they want a different system than the present establishment of CBI under the control of the central government, and that the present system is sufficient to tackle corruption.

Second, many naxals and their supporters are a substantial percent of citizens of India. Does BJP has a plan about how to resolve the naxal issue? Do all of the naxals and their supporters have to be sacrificed for the "greater good"? The truth is complex but classifying people as naxals does nobody a favor.

Third, and most important, Supreme Court judgments recently vindicate AAP's stand, and Swamy himself conceded that CBI is not functioning properly under the current establishment. This is contradictory of his earlier statement about the sufficiency of the current establishment.


After AAP comes into power in Delhi again, which most likely it will, it will demonstrate that it is pro-business and it can facilitate businesses towards higher growth than the mainstream parties. Then, BJPians will have nothing worth speaking about their economic agenda. BJP and Congress must adapt (i.e., adopt AAP's agenda) or risk losing their supporters to AAP on a national scale.







Lol! Got money from American oil companies? Do you have any proof or even a prima facie evidence to prove it?




Kejriwal gives MOST number of interviews! Count how many interviews has Rahul Gandhi done in last year and then compare it with Arvind Kejriwal.

He faces the questions and gives answers. Where there is truth, there is no fear of questions. And Kejriwal is always open to criticism. And ready to answer!




Well, Do you know? Obama and his political party gives details of each and every penny of donations?

Today, Modi spends crores of rupees in his rallies. Where is this money coming from? And then they are also giving undue favours to corporates (and this is an observation made by CAG and not AAP)

Is OBama giving any undue favours to Microsoft? Is Obama hiding his donation sources? NO!
So, your comparison holds no significance.




People were interviewed all over India. If you have a single case of corruption against any of the selected candidates. I promise, that AAP will leave the seat empty but won't let that person go inside!

And yes, whatever candidates are being chosen are done are best considering the time available, resources and other factors. Most people who are connected with AAP do not really care about tickets. They are there because their agenda is work. Its not who's going inside is x or y.

As long as the person going inside has a clean background. We don't have a problem with it. And you should nt either!





 The author in the given article assumes that gas price is $4.

And then he accuses Kejriwal ASSUMING that Kejriwal's information is incorrect about the per unit gas prices.

The author is a joker, who started writing the article without doing a fundamental research. He is plainly assuming that costs of the gas are high.

This krishna godaveri basin was the largest discovery of gas in 2002. Reliance gas-find 40 times bigger than Bombay High (Reference)

So at that time, reliance took the area. (More than what was allotted to it, that's illegal in first place) then it is violating the contract which promised that rates wont be changed for another 15 years or so.

Now thegas which was supposed to be 40 times larger than Bombay high. And suppose to provide gas for 100 years. Where has it gone? Vanished somewhere?


Costs calculations



Gas production per day (ref) = 60 million cubic unit

So if we take average of 40 million cubics meters per day.\

40 * 4 = 160$  = 8,300 rupees per day.

Total cost of set up = 7,000 crore rupees






Some interesting points in above presentation:
  • Reliance bid lowest to win the contract, in 2002. at $ 2.34
  • The TRICK of "bid lower" now to win and increase later ;) scam
    This is a typical method of winning the contract and later on increasing the price. Is nt that a scam in itself?
  • Similar case in Mumbai Metro
    In Mumbai metro project. Reliance did same thing. The project was suppose to cost 1200 crores and now the total cost has went upto 2500 crores citing unforeseen problems.

    Today tonnes of public money is wasted in unforeseen problems.

     
  • Why is it that all these unforeseen problems occur in India only? That too at such a massive scale! In cases related to Gas under the sea and metro constructed on the land!?
  • Is there a lack of foresightedness of reliance engineers? Or a clever planning to win the bid by lower pricing and later on increase the prices? Using political contacts.

  • Why is it that the unforeseen problems are so big that Metro project cost is doubled! not increase by 10-20% And in gas prices has gone from 2.34 per unit to $8 per unit. SUCH A STAGGERING CHANGE! AND You Expect that no questions should be asked? HOW!?

  • Case of irregularity!
    This clearly shows that either Ambanis bid very low to win the contract and then later on cite or create reasons and increase rates. A clear indication of irregularity here. Why bid so low if you have to increase prices so much and so often!

  • An investigation unjustified after such a big change?
    Even if we may agree for a minute that there really were conditions to increase the price. Is nt it a situation where a thorough investigation should be done to find out is the price hike justified?

  • Govt listens to reliance's problems and allocates funds
    Reliance always says, Oh im having cost problems so i want more money. And no matter which govt it is, it happily sanctions the price.

  • Will Govt listen to poor farmer and do the same?
    If a common man goes and asks the government to change the price of anything. If a farmer goes and say that this year produce is low. Does govt gives subsidy to that farmer or money to that farmer? NO!!!!

     
  • Would the government listen? Listen to common men's problems? NO! But always ready to give it to Adani and Ambani!?
  • All this and hiding their donation sources. My friend, its a clear clear indication that


Hope this satisfies your appetite of quest to know Why Kejriwal is raising questions on such huge changes in prices.




Wtf!? Dear brother, let us not stoop so low to defame someone. Do you have any links or proofs to make such a tall claim?

Now don't say that Kejriwal does that too! Firstly, there are evidences to show that whatever questions Kejriwal raised were valid. Secondly, you can't escape from showing a proof by throwing the question on other side.

Kejriwal, gives evidences to whatever he claims. Let us also try to back up our claims with some facts. Also, let us also not into personal attacks. You may dislike Kejriwal  but please do not insult his wife.

By doing that you re disrespecting women and also abusing the pious institution of marriage in our society!


This question is catch-22 logic. You can't form circles to evade an answer. A question must be answered with another answers.

There is always someone benefiting from competitor's fall. Does that mean that we must stop questioning? Or we must start questioning the competitor without having any sort of evidence?

The problem is that you are looking at the issue in a political picture. Not going into the details of the case. You seem to care less about what the prices were, how much gas are found.

You seem to be more concerned with "How much votes will Kejriwal get for bringing this issue into highlight?"

 Have you given a thought for a minute how much prices will rise if gas prices are raised?

 Well, let us move on from this traditional style of thinking and support a claim for the country's benefit and not just stop it because its benefiting a party or harming your favorite one!



I am sure when you ask this you want to know about his background. Its a fair question and here are some of my answers.

IRS days >
(Please see the video above where ex-IRS senior of AK talks about him). Apart from that I have also heard that Kejriwal once cleaned the drainage outside the office during rain because the sweeper and PEON had nt come.

POST IRS>>
Kejriwal also spend much time with Mother Teresa as a voluneteer and Ramakrishna mission. He is also an active practitioner of Vipassanna meditation.

A man's character is determined by the places he visit, the company he keeps and his actions. These events show (at least to me)  that Kejriwal has empathy for poor like Mother Teresa. He has Vairagya as taught in Vipassana. He has the courage to speak the truth.

ACTIVISM:
in 2002, Kejriwal started working in slums. Watch this video to see how he helped slum dwellers in getting their rights.  Have  you ever thought about it? 

Many of you say that he is ambitious. I do not know any ambitious person who would quit a job in IRS. Go and work in slums.

Are you trying to say that Kejriwal knew the future that after 10 years there will be a large anti-corruption movement for Lokpal. In which govt will not pass the lokpal even after 4 Anshans. And then he will form the government and then become the prime minister of India? 





There are two types of things. One is a claim and allegation backed up by some prima facie evidence. Another is complete proof.

For example, when a police arrest someone it only needs a prima facie evidence.

Wht Kejriwal claims is always accompanied with evidences. He cannot bring complete evidences. Because, only government has the machinery to bring out the hard documents.

Whatever claims are made against AAP and Kejriwal was also made against Anna. Manish Tiwari had claimed that Anna is corrupt from top to bottom.

It happens in the politics of this country. Don't talk about removing corruption because you are corrupt too!

Get over it!




How can electricity companies come out clean when the buying price of electricity is .35 paise per unit and they are selling it for 8 rs per unit?

Remember, at Kejriwal's position no claim can be made without substantial facts. This is not the first time that these discom companies have come under radar.

Previous chairman of DERC raised same questions but was transferred later on. And the new chairman happily accepted all the price changes suggested by reliance.

The Audit will only lay down where the money is exactly going. With documented proofs. There is no question of coming "clean". Because that's not possible!



Good question! btw Prashant Bhushan was talking about relocating Kashmiri hindus by bringing peace into Kashmir valley. His purpose was to bring peace into the valley so that Kashmiri pandits can have the confidence to go back!

But an edited line, which was not the focus of the discussion was taken from his tape and then he was attaked upon.

If you don't already know. There are many programmes run by Kashmir's state govt to call Pandits back! But they do not work. Because there is a lack of dialogue. If you really want to bring peace, then education, development is the only way to go! History has proven time and again that guns only leads to dist-ructions.

We must try to avoid that discourse as much as possible. Bring real peace in Kashmir valley. End the alienation of Kashmiri Muslims. once the article 370 is removed. Then Kashmiris pandits will have the courage to go back.

Don't you agree?




Lol!





If you remember, there was little to no coverage of any Aam Aadmi's Jan Sabha before Delhi elections. All the newspaper showed that AAP will not get more than 2-3 seats in elections.

What does it show? Was media working for AAP? NO! It was nt.

After the results, everyone was taken aback by the results. And then the coverage was started because media found a revolution and story. Media wants TRP and Kejriwal and AAP is a kind of movement which is new and unique. And people watch it. Hence, media shows it.

But this will change again since Kejriwal has filed FIR against Ambani, who owns much of the media industry!




Uncultured in what way? Have you ever seen him abusing? Swearing? Using bad words?

If asking questions, working for people is uncultured for you. Then Get well soon!



That was an interim relief. The audit results were to come out and rates would go dip even further.

Even going by the above chart. Its more than what BJP had promised in Delhi in their manifesto! So its better work done and not just talking!



It has been answered several times. After Anna's instructions AAP has not used Anna's poster or name to collect a single penny!

It is a claim made by politicians like Sanjay Nirupam etc. Let us common people don't echo the same lines without checking the facts.

AAP gives details of all its donations and lists it on the website. I am appalled to see that fellow citizens are not asking their favorite party to do the same!



Aam Aadmi wo hai jo sach bolta hai
kisi ke hak ka paisa nahi maarta
chori karke kamayi hui gaadi mai nahi ghoomta

Aam Aadmi wo gareeb insaan bhi hai jo paidal chalta hai
Aur Ameer insaan bhi hai jo mehnat ki kamayi se car khareedta hai...

Definition of aam aadmi is not poor. (Unfortunately it has become so because in our country an honest man is usually poor)

So please get the definition right. There's not much merit in showing yourself poor or hand to mouth. Let's move ahead of symbolic things.






- Sikh riots SIT investigation
- Written to president to allow FIR against Sheila Dixit.
- Re-open CWG case files and other corruption files.
- Start corruption helplines.
- Swaraj law was passed.
- 70 night shelters opened. good facilities provided.
- Allocation of 1 lakh rupees for basic facilities in all govt schools.
- Providing medicines in hospitals.
- Reducing corruption by heaps and bounds.
- Suspending corrupt officers in Jal board.
- Exposing corruption of jal board.
- Exposing lethargic attitude of police  for crime against women.

I do not think any other government really has done so much in a month. Go and take up newspapers of last and read. How things had really changed in Delhi




Other questions worth Noting :

  • Why protecting Somnath bharti for his Spam related issue
    Why are you not looking at facts of the case? Somnath has responded saying that emails were not sent with his knowledge.

    Balsam, who files cases against "spam"

    “He’s going after legitimate companies on questionable claims and he’s able to get settlements on a lot of them just because of the nuisance value,” he said.

    “They’re out-of-state companies and they don’t want to fly in to defend the claim.”

    Here is the link to complete article


     
  • Why Somnath was tampering with evidence?
    Somnath recorded a sting and CBI suggested to the court that it was tampering with evidence. I do not think that it really was such!

    There is a blurred line in this statemnt. Because if Somnath was really doing someothing wrong then he would ve lost membership of bar council which he has nt!
  • Why not showing proof for allegations of corruption and tie-ups against Modi.

    When someone is hiding donation sources. And giving undue benefit in return. That's bound to raise questions dear friend. Show your donation sources and no one will raise any question.
  • Are you taking funds from Ford Foundation?
    No! It would be illegal to take money from foreign.  There has been several investigations and nothing has ever been found. Please don't bring it again and again when we all know this.

    AAP is funded by people. You can know these people on AAPtrends.inhttp://www.aaptrends.in
  • Are you doing Appeasement Politics?
    Appeasement politics is when benefit is given to certain section of the society purely on the basis of caste/religion.

    AAP has not given benefit to people in Delhi on the basis of caste and religion. AAP is making people aware!  That's not appeasement. That's awareness!
  • Why are you trying to stop Modi from becoming PM
    We are trying to stop corruption. Raise corruption issues. If stopping corruption stops Modi, then yes we are stopping him.



Other common allegations

  • Kejriwal and AAP is inexperienced

  • Kejriwal support Khap Panchayats

    Can you ban Khap Panchayats? NO! It is against the law to ban any such organization of people.

    Yes, but take my word! If Khap Panchayats do something illegal. Kejriwal will be the first person to go all heap n bounds to punish the culprits. Kejriwal has said that before. But there is no comment from Modi or any other politicians yet like this ever!
  • They support Naxal Groups

    Naxals are Indians too. They are citizens of this country too! Nobody in AAP or civil society agree with the path naxalites take (violence). But what is wrong when someone advocates that we must hear what Naxals have to say?

    Its sad to see that today no discussion comes up on TV or on twitter or facebook about why Naxals have taken this route.

    WHY IS IT THAT GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO NAXALS?

    Watch this interview. Here, they say, government once say we want to talk and then they send army. You cannot take someone into confidence by sending army.
  • Why is Dharna style of politics justified?
    A peaceful Dharna to bring issues to highlight is much better than Bharat Bandhs, toll breaks, riots etc. Moral policing.

    Nothing about Dharna is unconstitutional. Due to these pressures, police became more aware. Today we all know that Delhi police is ranked TOP in corruption in India. A dharna against such system is 100000000% justified.

    Especially if its done in peaceful manner and not harming public property!

    MUCH BETTER THAN VIOLENT BANDHS ! BURNING TYRES AND HARMING PUBLIC PROPERTY!



    I hope the answers given here quenches your appetite of asking questions!

    I hope this article re-kindles the attitude or answering questions raised with facts and logic rather than abuses and swearing

    Get well soon friends! Jai hind!

Lok Sabha 2014 - concerns and thoughts!

I notice some doubts doing rounds in social media if AAP should fight general elections or not!

Here i take up the concerns one by one. And also share my thoughts with why wwe SHOULD fight Lok sabha 2014.

Before we start I must warn you that im not an expert political analyst, nor unbiased either! So read this at your own risk! :)


Point 1 Concern that AAP does not have experience!
Frankly, you do not need experience to get into politics (for the kind BJP/cong ) have been doing.
Please provide an alternative from those people.
It is not only a matter of who becomes the prime minister. But i do not have any good BJP aur Cong candidate in my area. And i would want AAP to give me a reason to not press NOTA button in my area. 

Alternative to criminal candidates in present political structures
In my city, i notice candidate was a recovery officer who had nothing and now owns businesses worth millions, he has captured govt lands in the center of the city! He has almost 1 cases running in court. I do not want to vote for him. And i can't obviously vote for Congress.


As much as 40% candidates today are into crime of some sort
And that's not all even today as much as 40% of the candidates by BJP/cong have serious criminal cases. Can we wait to starting showing our voting power to them? I can't wait another 5 years for this, sorry! AAP has given immense power to voters which we never had.

Till now voting was done as a casual activity today democracy has become a religion and voting is like a sacred ritual where people sincerely perform karma yoga by voting for the nation!

People desperately want to vote for clean candidates:
Artists, IAS officers, Company CEOs joining AAP. 



Point 2: There's difference between Delhi and India!

Most people don't realize that AAP is not a regional party anymore. This is not Delhi crowd. This is UP, Amethi!




Answer: There are many new factors now! Difference between 2013 and 2014 elections.
  • Then, AAP had no popularity, back then. All surveys showed AAP as its nothing. Today the scene is completely different
  •  Media never showed AAP coverage much, today AAP in news because of unprecedented actions in Delhi
  • Before only few people knew about AAP today almost 80% people in India are awareof Jhaadu!
  • There were many people who had doubts and theywho have now started to believe! Becauase of Delhi results.
  • More area, but people!
    Going Pan India  is not just a limitation but a strength too! Think about it, many people who support AAP were not able to come to Delhi, but now they will be able to take out time at local level. 300 AAP units are already working all over India, from almost one year already. They have formed committees, and working in an organized way.
  • On Facebook, every state page has 100,000 to 200,000 likes. In a country where only 6% people use internet, this is a remarkable figure!

So the equation will be balanced even if one factor is decreased but others making up for it!

Point 3 We can't do campaigning in short time
The work done in 3 months by the Delhi government will do the campaigning all over the country!

And its not 1976 and 1998 (like many people compare this movement to, but that's to discuss another day) Today we have electronic media, thousands of volunteers working online . Frugal Guirella techniques for promoting ideas may look tiny and simple. But they can be VERY effective.

We can get to all India very quickly... !

People want the results
Im damn sure that within these 15 weeks Delhi govt will do what Cong was nt able to do in last 15 years.

Janlokpal alone is the single reason why many people will vote for AAP. New courts, hospitals etc will be soon started up.

Social media power we have!
In today's world of social media of Twitter and Facebook, information and knowledge spreads with the speed of light! Today, no one can create a hype around a lie because there are 100 others ready on twitter to share the truth and abolish the lies.

This is a world phenomenon, not a random thing happening in India
 Times are changing, information medium is getting stronger and more free!

And this is precisely why common people are gaining a voice and this is not just in India but all over the world!
Social organizations running campaigns, people fighting for animal rights and being successful All happening because of this electronic medium. And this will be the frugal tool to make people aware of their rights all over India.


Point 4: how will we find volunteers for all over India  in such a short time?
As much as 1 lakh people have joined AAP in Gujarat alone. Open membership page of AAP and u will see that even small cities in states like 100-150 people have registered online (by paying 10 rupees). there are average 50-60,000 people registered already in every state. AK always says, it is not we who are fighting elections, it is the people of India who are!

Who are these people  who will volunteer for AAP?
Are they all ex-polticians? No! These are common people who never wanted to touch politics, many of them did nt even vote! These people want to be heard! AAP is all about listening, feedback and active democracy.

These people needed a platform to take a stand for their country! And these people are no less in numbers!

The supporters you don't see in open!
Many people who work in government jobs might not come out open to support. Businesses and shop owners don't speak or attend rallies because of fear from current politicians.

There might not be a lof  of people joining AAP rallies but i am sure every unbiased person will campaign for AAP in officers, shops, trains, buses talking to people around them.

A small catalyst can bring a big change! Sure, its not easy, but not impossible either!

Simple math
Today, if AAP gets 1 crore registered members and even 1 member convinces 50 people around him. Then even after being conservative it won't be too much to say that there will 30 Crore voters who will be thinking about AAP while voting this time!

Point 5: We wont be able to compete with BJP Cong
Actually, it can go other way round!

I have studied almost 400 seats of lok sabha of 2009 results. Look at results and try to analyze. It wont be too surprising if AAP comes neck to neck with BJP and here's why:

- BJP has direct presence in only 5-6 states. And Congress has more national presence, BJP even now was not able to break Congress in some states in recent elections. At these places AAP will be able  to crack the Congress code! Like it did in Delhi!

Better than regional parties because for Voters AAP is a a BJP/Cong alternative that is not regional
In states like Assam, Meghalaya North east , West Bengal and many states in the South, people vote for regional parties.

In these states people did nt vote for either BJP or Congress. They vote for regional ones even if these parties don't have a national presence.

What this shows is that voters here are already actively looking for an alternative to BJP n Cong!

Here, people only had two options either the local parties which had no national presence and they did nt wanted to vote for BJP Or Congress because of obvious reasons.

This is where AAP fills the gap, AAP is now a national party, And  is different from both BJP and Cong. A party that has well known faces, educated people with clean background! AAP offers same things which regional party does, simplicity in their politicians, clean candidates etc and it also has a national presence.

I am not saying that AAP will sweep away these areas but certainly it will be able to make deep in-roads because of this proposition!

- Coalition with Independent candidates
there are many smaller parties like Loksatta party which is doing very good in Andhra, I m sure they will come together with AAP, and several others in all states there are 1-2 seats taken by these parties who are genuinely doing good work. Kudrat ka karishma aisa he hota hai. Lagta karishma hai lekin uske peeche saalo ki tayyari hoti hai. Aur sab thode dino mai saamne nikal ke aata hai ekdam se.

We can anyday get 15-20 seats from these smaller parties and good candidates , there is no harm in forming direct coalition with them  if they agree with swaraj model and other non-corruption issues, which im sure most of them will.

An average of 3-5% NOTA voters
In recent state elections, as much as 5% voted for NOTA (None of the above except, Delhi) Yes, this is a clear indication that people in these states are waiting for an alternative and do not consider current politicians worth voting!


An average 15-20 percent increase in voting in recent times
All the social movements, awareness and media has helped in increasing the number of voters, many of these voters are young and there will be enough opportunity for AAP to make space in this segment.



- AAP is the only national party which appeals to all voters
Hindus, muslims, dalits, sikhs, christians, auto drivers, people who speak marathi, and who speak gujarati.

There is no dividing factor!
This is unprecedented in India and its like a fresh air for people like me who felt anger on the social and political decay we saw in the country. Yes, AAP should go national! Because you cannot wait for months or years to breathe. AAP is providing ideological oxygen to a common man who is only concerned with results and not with regionalism and other divisive politics.

The beauty of democracy is that if done the right way, it is the best form of governance. And in a true democracy the voter should have all the option he/she wants so that best people only are able to come out.  This is precisely we have NOTA.

Vote cutter!
So the concept of vote cutter is a very orthodox and power hungry way to look at democracy. Every single person has the right to come up in the election. More candidates and parties will mean unstable governments, but it will also mean that best representatives chosen from people come out.

Even surveys show numbers for AAP
It's impossible to predict the future, but we always get an idea where we are going. No matter how wrong election surveys have been. They always reflect some truth. And there is no denial that AAP is indeed a strong contender which will get at least 30 seats if it becomes third largest party.

Why AAP will win?
AAP has the largest voter base in India, Aam Aadmi.

Traditional parties with their appeasement and extremist ideas would never be able to compete with AAP unless they do a massive makeover.

Any improvements in BJP/Cong will be welcome by a typical AAP supporter
  Because for us, its not important that Kejriwal becomes PM or Yogendra Yadav gets railway ministry.

We don't want our people to take the positions. We want good people to reach to the temple of parliament. AAP's presence at national level will help this to happen!

A few more thoughts:

Nature has its way to balance things, in Delhi if we had smaller area to cover BUT today we have more volunteers and experts joining AAP.

I have personally seen villages where population touches 50,000 and people have formed committees and already started doing jan sabhas.



We reach no where if we fear!

There are many reasons why we should fight the elections and only 1 to not!
There are enough reasons why we should fight the elections and only one reason why we should not.

And that is the fear of defeat!

How does it matter? What we are doing  is not going to harm anyone. We must trust our representatives because at the end of the day, any of the parties will form coalition government. Even minority government is not bad option at all.

As an AAP supporter,i do not mind if AAP receives or offer only outside support to BJP.

What will happen worse?
We might have to give outside support to BJP? So be it! We are not there for power or department.

A minority government will be in pressure to perform better. A minority government is also more answerable. So there's no harm in giving or taking issue based support!

Let me ask you this
Would not the presence of AAP members increase chances of Jan Lokpal?
Would nt AAP members ask more questions and work as a true opposition?

AAP is in politics for a change, and not just to get seats! And to other governments to perform better the AAP fear should stay!
Today, governments all over state are frightened and changing the way they govern.

For example In Rajasthan Vasundhra Raje has started doing janta darbars, cutting costs and decreased security, not taken bungalow.

AAP is creating very high standards for good governance. Which should be welcomed!

A check on old method of politics
If this BJP cong dont have fear then they will just carry on with their older methods of politics.

Lets imagine that AAP does not win a single seat and just captures third position everywhere. Then also this will bring Congress and BJP on their toes and force them to hear to people and change how they do politics.

AAP is creating competition which will bring out best from everyone!
Even the most ardent BJP/Cong supports agree that Cong and BJP are more or less the same.

In TV debates, they don't say we not corrupted. They say we are less corrupted than the other!

AAP on the other hand has a very clear stand against corruption!

I am not claiming that AAP is 100% clean. But its two step ahead of both BJP and Cong because only AAP gives details of its donations and expenses. It gives tickets to only people without convicted criminal background.
ng this alone.

AAP will create competition
Till now there were only regional . And a national presence of AAP will always deter these parties from doing anything majorly wrong

 And this is a welcoming change no matter which party you support!

Professionalism in politics
AAP has brought professionalism in politics, it will bring a change.For example, we all remember how lousy BSNL was before private companies entered into telecom in 1990's and we all know that BSNL has at least improved a lot because there is competition in the market.

Even if AAP loses it would be a victory for democracy
Even if we don't even win a single seat, it will be a win for democracy and at the end of the day it will benefit the people.

I do not aim for very big. Even if proper Janlokpal comes in the center which Anna and Arvind had envisaged, it will do a hell lot better to the nation!

Root cause of corruption is the sytem and not the people
I remember reading one blog on timesofindia today which said that.

Root cause of corruption is no fear of law!
 Where will this fear come from? It will come from Janlokpal, it will come from laws like citizen charter!


Same Indians, who throw garbage on roads in India will search for a dustbin when they go to Dubai. Why? because..

 System maketh the people and
if people don't change the system.
People will remain the same!

So let's stand together and change the system, inch by inch!
There's no worry for AAP
This is the beauty of Satyagrah, Your win is i truth prevails. Even if AAP does not come into power it will be the reason for many good things introduced in politics.

Let's not worry results, Let's keep working and gain satisfaction from whatever the nature (read: destiny) has to offer..

This is how societies evolve!
Im not very religious.

But i believe that nature has its way to deal with things. And every 20-30 years a big change is seen in societies. These changes are more frequent now because of the electronic medium

  • 100 years back Sati pratha as integral part of the society. Today its non-existent.  
  • 50 years back caste-ism existed everywhere, Today its very limited. 
  • 20 years back, Dowry deaths were prominent. Today they re not!
  • Today, corruption is omnipresent, but may in next 5-10 years it becomes rare? 
  • Today, appeasement politics exist, but may be in next 10 years result oriented politics come into place?

I feel confident about this change of better politics, sooner or later!

When nature is giving us an opportunity to be the instrument of this change. Then there is no reason we must hold ourselves back.

Only because we fear a defeat?

Opportunities do not knock twice and even God helps those who help themselves!

So dear fellow countrymen, its the time not to think too much. Lets stop over analyzing and don't fear for the result.

Even if AAP loses it does nt matter,but  AAP's presence will improve the politics of this country. And this is what we are here for!


Don't count what you don't have, count on what could be done with whatever we have!
Don't worry about the resources, because if you see successes of people all over the world be it Bill Gates, Bhagat singh, Sachin Tendulkar , Gandhi, Milkha singh, Bruce Lee, you will find one thing common:

It's not about resources, its about resourcefulness!

To reach somewhere we don't count on what we don't have or look at our limitations. We just have to use strengths to the maximum and put our 100% .

And rest will be history!


This is the same idea which Bhagwad Gita talks about: "Do the karma, without being attached or worried about the results"


Start using whatever resources you have! Possibilities are huge!

Vivekananda said:  Each one of us, have immense power, that we don't even realize! And this power quadruples when we walk on the path of truth!

The dream!
We dream of the day when India will be free of corruption and our societies will evolve into the ones where karma and truth will be supreme!

I have nothing but good wishes for all my countrymen and that even include people from BJP/Congress/SP/BSP, Shiv Sena etc

Get ready for a change!
Friends, its time for another evolution in our society! Its going to benefit us all! Please, support the truth because truth alone will benefit you in long run.


Jai hind! Satyamev Jayate!
