Who is to Blame for AAP debacle.... AK, Anna, Congress or Bjp.

                            
                            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.........

The Delhi Battle.



                                                  The Delhi Battle is on. After the battle lines were drawn, the announcement of the names of battle commanders was the second obvious outcome. The real battle in Delhi, if I may use the martial arts terminology is between  the Cat and the Monkey.  One, a sharp clawed resolute fighter and the other a jumping jack who has often surprised one and all with his moves in the past. 

                                               In the battle for Delhi, to displace a well placed 'Heavy weight AK', on the Delhi's chess board, Namo pitched in  'Crane Bedi'.  Modi has shown his astute political acumen by offering a unique 'Modi-Bedi' combination to Delhites though it was both a winning move as well as a face saving move by Modi. 

                                               How it works out in the ensuing political battle, is a different scene altogether, but if Bedi makes it to the CM's Chamber, Delhi can positively hope to see a huge fall in its crime rate.  Put one good cop in command of things and miracles can happen as far as policing is concerned and delhi does need some serious policing. So far so good.  Modi by doing what he has done has given the best possible gift that Delhi could hope for but only if Kiran makes it to the winning line. 
             
                                               There are many a slips between the cups and lips.  Namo, willy as he is in his moves has saved him self from the disgrace of losing Delhi,  if it be so, but if we put the face saving part aside,  I can clearly see that, Namo is not only keen on winning Delhi but also keen on delivering what he promised to the nation, 'Good Leadership at all levels. This may take some time but the good work seems to have begun by bringing in Bedi. 
                                                             
                                               
                                                       Now an anlysis of these two fighters who face each other in the arena. Kiran AN Kejri.  Kejriwal looks like a calm guy,  but deep within he is a fighter full of turmoil, thus he lost his aces not once but twice, rather thrice.  First he took the call in Delhi when he should not have. Then he tied up with congress, the ones against whom he stood in the first place. Then he left the defences undefended to engage in Varanasi, and engaged with the heaviest tide of times only to be washed ashore like a dead starfish. In Delhi he had shaken hands with his arch enemies only to be left in the lurch by the letdowns. 

                                                            Kiran has been on many long journeys and has gone through pain and humiliation, but went on fighting. She never gave up either as a soldier, or as a social combatant. She kept her self alive, made herself visible, and made sure she is in the front of war against social evils. She not only has the zeal, but also the acumen to deliver business but her weakness is that she is not good with words. She is bound to screw up this election if at all, by giving some funny statement, as she tries to blabber with the media. She is a great administrator but an unseasoned politicians. This is her Achilles heal. 
                          
                                                              People try and compare these two personalities on superfluous grounds, like who got in to IRS in his fist attempt or who got in to IPS in her third attempt and such fluffy bullshit. The fact of the matter is that AK tried to run this race like the RAbbit, in the rabbit and the tortoise story.  Kiran on the other hand is a long distance runner.  Any long distance runner goes through pain and injury. To teach this , Sufi and Zen masters take their disciples through long and painful walks, even at the cost of discomfort to themselves. Those who can walk it with thorns in their feet always reach the goal.
                                                   
                                                           Why did Gen VK and Kiran leave him in the first place, many people ask this simple question. One theory is that they were BJP's moles in AAP where as the other theory is that our Muffler man and his few close cronies, some of whom have ditched him now,  were not ready to see any one emerge strong in their top cadre, so Gen VK and Kiran were tactfully made uncomfortable, and shown the door from AAP, not that they left it on their own. 

                                                          If and when you decide to read between the lines or observe the undercurrents, you will easily see through the whole game. What we are seeing as a new development today was in fact, written on the wall, a long time back.  So, if the Monkey wins,  Delhi will not have much to hope for as the big daddy sitting in the center wont support him much. You will get protests and bickering. If the Cat wins the Monkey shall always be there to  protest and oppose any wrong move by the government .The public will benefit more from this arrangement and get better governance.  Yes The Monkey can be a much better king, only if he promises to evolve, and promises to himself that this time he will not kill flies with the royal sword

                                             
                                                          This is the ZEN of Politics as on today. We will deal with it tomorrow as it comes. Tomorrow, in any case is another day. 

                                                         CIAO Comrade. Viva Revolution.
