Respected Arvind Kejriwal,
This is a letter to you from an Aam Aadmi. An Aam Aadmi whom you are showing the dream
to make them rid of corruption, decriminalization of politics, empowerment to make
governmental decision for own area, making everything accessible easily at low
cost and so on.
Sir, your actions after you became Chief Minister raises
serious doubt about your real intentions. Your words and actions are not
matching nowadays.
During the election campaign, you accused the Congress
government for all the corruptions and misery of Delhi. None of your interview
or TV shows was complete without condemning Sheila Dikshit badly. But we saw a
dramatic change in you when asked to take action against her when you became
CM. It was really surprising when you asked for evidence when you yourself were
talking of some 370 page evidence against Sheila Dikshit. Recently, you have
ordered for enquiry on the Common wealth games but going in to the technicalities
of your case it seems nothing is going to come out, it is simply an eye wash.
Though surprising, to some extent this change in you is
understandable as you are CM because of Congress support only. But when you say
that you are not in politics to become CM or PM, then this statement is
hypocritical. If this is not the case then you would not have hesitated to open
the corruption related files of Sheila Dikshit. Anyway, I may be wrong here and
you might have thought that there are other higher priority things to be done
first than going for uncovering the corruption related files.
On the media channels, you are claiming that what you have
done in 1month, no other states CM, who became CM after last election, has
done. I really do not know what other 4 chief ministers are doing in their
state. After you became CM, none of the news channels are talking anything
about them. Whenever I switch on the news channels, it’s only you and you. So
can’t say whether they have done more or less work than you.
Sir, you state that in 1 month of governance only, you
provided free water, reduced the price of electricity, opened helpline number
against the corruption and you say that you are receiving ground report that corruption
has reduced considerably in Delhi.
It was not expected from the person of your qualification of
providing subsidies and freebies. There are people who are carried away with such
populist decision of yours but no person with even little economic knowledge
will agree with the method you have chosen for reducing the price of water and
electricity in Delhi. Providing more and more subsidies and that too for all
income level persons can never lead to a strong economical and prosperous state.
Being a Chief Minister, you are taking direct fight with the
electrical distribution companies and are always seen threatening them of
exposing corruption or cancelling their licences. Instead of always
threatening, you should try to hear and work with them to make them efficient,
productive and competitive. The way Telecom industry got revolutionised in
India and ultimately customers are the beneficiary, the same is possible with
electrical distribution companies if you bring competition in them. Customers
will get the option to choose the service provider according to the service
they get. But in order to this you have to raise from petty populist method and
widen your vision and need to think how more and more electricity can be
generated in Delhi instead of purchasing from other states as well as how to
provide efficient power transmission system to prevent loss and leakage of
power.
Sir, you say that you are receiving the ground report that
corruption has reduced drastically in Delhi. I agree with you, but do you honestly
think that this report of reduced corruption is going to last long? The way
currently you are dealing with corruption is like students are not cheating in
their examination when their teachers are standing in front of them. The moment
teacher leaves the classroom, students start cheating from other’s answer
sheet. So along with punishment for cheating, there should be a broader vision
of preparing students in such a way that they should not do cheating
irrespective of presence or absence of teachers. The point I want to make is
that your claim of reduced corruption in Delhi is not effective and permanent.
The day you step down as CM, it will be same again. So better think like a
statesman and not as hero where everyone is villain against you.
Your recent Dharna on the eve of Republic day and supporting
your minister for carrying out the raid in the midnight is utterly disgusting.
Being an Aam Aadmi and belonging from an aam (remote) place, I can tell you
that there are so many villages, cities and towns in India where people reach
to their local leader instead of Police for their complains. Some of those
local leader are hard core criminal or corrupt in the national media, but at
the local level they are hero for the common people, the way the deeds of your minister is heroic in the eyes of localities
of Khirki extension of Delhi. If you are supporting Somnath Bahrati, then you
do not have any moral to say such type of people in other part of India as
criminals.
In your Dharna, you have blamed the policemen for all the
rapes and crimes in the city and you want Delhi Police under your control as
you were not able to suspend some SHO who has not obeyed your minister. Once
again I want to ask do you really think that threatening words of suspension
and dismissal of police will solve the problem of crimes in Delhi. If we
compare our policemen with the police force of developed countries, they way
they reach the crime spot swiftly without any chaos, the way they avoid
happening big accidents or incidents is not because they are afraid of
suspension or dismissal, but they are trained like that. They are provided to
use the latest available technology and hence they are able to do more work in
less effort. It would have been better if in your Dharna you would have asked
to equip Police Force with modern tools and technology than simply suspending
them.
Frankly speaking, all these action of yours lead to think
you have become same politician as others are and your populist steps are
mainly targeted for Lok sabha election. You are utilising the people’s anger
against the current government in your favour for your political ambition and
luckily you have got the full national media support. You are changing your
statements frequently and that too by 180 degree. Now it’s not possible to
believe in your words.
You may think that I am writing this because of any
inclinations towards any party like Congress or BJP. I want to tell you that I
am not a BJP supporter but yes I am Narendra Modi Fan. I would have been his
supporter even if he was in Congress. I am Modi fan because of his personal
life struggle, his development work, unique ideas and solutions,
institutionalising the innovative ideas in to the system. More than political
speeches I like his apolitical speeches where he gives his ideas about
Leadership, Ways of removing corruption from the system, Technology,
Innovations, Visions etc which our national
media never show and discuss on.
Narendra Modi was constantly abused and cornered by our
media channels for so long but he remained silent and fought only legally. He
worked silently for the development of his state and when International media
and magazines started discussing about his development works and initiatives,
then Indian news channels started talking something positive on him. One individual,
who was constantly abused by the media and silenced for so long, still believes
in the system and says that everything is possible in this system and he talks
with proof. Like you, he is not labelling everyone as corrupt and villain who
ever speaks against. This is one of the impressive qualities of Narendra Modi.
I very well understand that there are many who are carried
away by your populist acts and on your Television showmanship, without
considering the technicalities. You say your intentions are clear but your
actions shows that you are exploiting the anger of the people for your
political ambitions of Lok sabha 2014. Due to your ambitions, India may get
devoid of stable government with strong leadership at the center.
At the same time I feel proud to say that you are the person
who has alerted all other political parties to change their path. You have
brought the involvement of youth in politics that always used to avoid talking
on politics and political leaders. Instead of always remaining neutral, now
people are talking and supporting on what they believe better.
This is what an Aam Aadmi felt and wanted to share with you.
I hope to see you not to bring temporary happiness by bringing Rickshwalas to
inaugurate hospitals but to make real change in their life. I hope not to see
you on Dharna but take your time and institutionalise your thoughts and ideas
which should last for long and long. I hope that under your leadership Delhi
should come at par with the other capitals of the world.
I would like to see you as an efficient administrator or
chief minister first with good governance, better employment opportunities,
secured and fearless Delhi; and hence for this election of 2014, my vote goes
for Narendra Modi.
Thanks .
An Aam Aadmi
