“An auto rickshaw driver allegedly slapped AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal in north west Delhi #SlappedAgain”. This news is all over media and everyone is seeking the answer that why this is repeatedly happening with Kejriwal. So here I am giving my reasons to slap him -
Patience – Indians are patient breed and since 1947, they were quietly observing, listening and experiencing the political scandals or rather watching the drama of national leaders be it Indira Gandhi, Narsimha Rao or Manmohan Singh (to name a few). They never raised a voice on mass level against the government and kept themselves absorbed in earning livelihood. For the first time after freedom, Anna enraged the nation at Ramleela Maidan and Arvind Kejriwal emerged as a well educated and informed ‘Hero of the Nation’. He made India give up the patience and protest on streets.
Trust – Though many a time incidents like Kargil War, Babri Riots, Mumbai Attack provoked citizens to speak against the government but nobody actually had guts to stand against the traditional parties. Politicians successfully reserved the trust of citizens with few melodramatic speeches. Kejriwal is the first leader who exposed the faces never before and made people doubt on every leader.
Hope – Being theist, we Indians have innate quality of having faith and hope. We are optimistic and we believe that things will change with time. On every speech in history that said ‘next time we will take strict action against Pakistan’ gave us hope and we believed the leaders blindly. All the corruption, scandals, riots, wars, disrespect of nation internationally was ignored by the citizens with a hope that someday we will be standing among developed nation or super powers, and everything will be changed. But Arvind Kejriwal has shaken this hope by showing the other side of India.
Confidence – The confidence on our own capabilities motivated us to earn and live respectfully without demanding anything from the poor government. Even the basic infrastructure is missing in the nation but we created our own comfort zone with our own efforts. This confidence gave us the feeling of pride and to meet the requirements we happily we became part of brain drain (the biggest scandal of Human Resource). However, Kejriwal has opened the billions of eyes by unveiling the details of Swiss Bank Accounts. We are no more confident enough to earn and stuff the corrupt politicians’ accounts.
Satisfaction – We were satisfied with ‘Roti, Kapda aur Makaan’ and never urged for more, not at least from the government who is taking around 40-60% of our earnings in different forms of taxes. Satisfaction is the base of our upbringing. But Kejriwal has abducted the peaceful sleep from citizens and whole nation is awake all these days to map the future.
Whole Nation has joined hands with Arvind Kejriwal in the revolution, especially youth. We can see the influence on social channels clearly. People invested their patience, trust, hope, confidence and satisfaction in AAP Party, in Kejriwal’s vision but he failed to come upto the expectations when selected as a CM of Capital of India, Delhi. He irresponsibly resigned from the post and never gave a genuine reason to believe.
People are now impatient, doubtful, hopeless, pessimistic and disappointed with everything around. This slap was the reciprocation of what Arvind Kejriwal has done with the people of nation.
But at least now "people expect these 5 things from politicians", that is victory in itself isn't it? Otherwise people were not expecting anything from politicians before!! You should give that credit to Arvind Kejriwal & AAP.
ReplyDeleteThat was correct, quick and spontaneous.. Indians are actually over-expects everything. Whether it is Anna or Kejriwal but we expect that a superhero will arrive and take away all our problems. This over-expectation and instant obsessive-ness resulted in agression when they saw their dreams getting broken. Indians need to rationalize themselves and need to understand that NOBODY enters politics for SamajSeva...
ReplyDeleteThe 5 reasons are absolutely right. Also its good that now people are aware of such political drama. But in my opinion that accused Lali is one amongst that crowd from where Kejriwal came up to public eye. Today he apologized for what he did yesterday. His aggression lasts not for a single day. Everyone wants to draw attention in media, that’s it.
ReplyDeleteI have read many articles and blog regarding kejriwal and this really made sense to me. The citizens of our country are getting only what they deserve. Nicely put barkha :)
ReplyDeleteArvind kejriwal gave hope, coudn't fulfill and left. Many questions were raised on him. But people have started projecting him as a threat to our nation. I ask these people you gave congress 60 yrs but never raised a voice on them oor slapped any neta? So much neta's in history n still in presemt who have rape charges n several others n who have looted their constituency. Today kejriwal is bigger threat and worse than even these people? Well we trust too much on what other people say and what media reports. If we sit and think oursleves, we will het the answer.
