Who is to Blame for
AAP debacle? There are many views on this issue but in my opinion, without much
further ado, it’s AK who made AAP in a hurry.
Like a storm it came and like a storm it passed.
Some people opine
that, in its formative days, Gen V.K. and Kiran Bedi are the ones who went to
Anna to stop AAP from being formed. In fact it was ANNA himself too who opposed
its formation at that time. He knew that formation of AAP at that point of time
would be like a premature delivery and the baby might not survive.
Speaking from a
warrior's view point let us not forget that AK's fist mistake was to go a
little too soon for the kill and then not going slow at it when stealth and
silence was a bigger requirement than speed and intensity. He thought the winds
are on, the sails are full, so let’s take the ship all the way to New Delhi,
but all the hoo haa of the movement was destroyed as the ship neither had
trained captains nor tough sailors. The ship crashed.
To my mind AK, and not Kiran or V.K.
acted more like the real team B of BJP because he has done everything to make
sure BJP wins.
ANNA had been brewing
the brew of a peaceful revolution against the system for a long time, and if
all concerned had listened to Anna, the situation would have been different.
Anna had created a platform where people’s dissatisfaction and anger against
the system could be continued as an organized social movement to bring about
changes. It could not be so because our Boom Groom boy was a man in a hurry and
spilled it all.
Some people do
argue that, congress itself voluntarily gave support to AAP party to form
government in Delhi, and it was the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, who had
invited AK to form the government. My point is, how anyone can do something
that would go against everything he ever stood for.
If team AK had
decided that they will never form a government by joining their enemies whom
they defeated and stood against, not just in elections but also ideologically,
how could they join hands with congress? I still remember, AK had on public
television sworn by his children and said that he will never join hands with
either Congress or BJP.
My methodologies
are Sufism and Zen so to drive home the point let me tell you a story. Many of my friends are upset over my
position on AAP. Please answer the question at the end of the story written by
me.
A
man's daughter was to get married. This girl was most lovingly brought up by
her grandfather, who had groomed her and trained her to be a fine young lady.
She was well read, well behaved and a strong girl empowered with a free will of
her own.
The grand father wanted the young girl to be
engaged but not married yet so that she could study a little more and at
least finish her higher studies in the university. Father however wanted to
marry her to this boy, a rich man's son, because he did not want to miss the
chance of being called a rich man's father in law.
When the groom’s party arrived they were
welcomed but just before the formal marriage could take place the groom and his
parents demanded dowry. This enraged the girl and she refused to marry the boy.
When the grooms party tried to act funny they got a nice beating from the
villagers and were made to run for their lives.
After
some months the same boy came back with a letter from the king of that country.
In the letter the king had advised that for the good of society the boy should
be given another chance....... Behold..... the girl’s father married her to the
same boy again. After a few days the girl was burnt to death by the groom and
his family.
.............................. My question to my friends is, whom to blame, ..... the girl’s father or the
king's letter or the helpless grandfather ? The girl in fact had suffered the
most.
The
boy and his family in this case is Congress. The girl is the ‘People’s Movement
against Corruption’, girl's father is AK, King's letter is LG's letter advising
AAP to form the government, and the helpless grandfather who had so lovingly
brought up this girl, ‘The Peoples Movement against Corruption’ is Anna. I leave it up to my readers
to decide as to who is to blame for this debacle.
My
personal take on this is simple, “Why should I sympathize with an idiot just
because he went in to the ring against the will of his coach, got an upper cut
and is now lying flat on the floor.........
CIAO.....basho
