Arvind Kejriwal has launched the Aam Aadmi Party or AAP.
If the voters like the party: AAP Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage.
When the party takes an oath of office: AAP Ki Kasam.
Fans of the party: AAP Ke Deewane.
If the voters totally embrace the party: Hum Ho Gaye AAP Ke.
If the party wins the voter’s hearts: Yeh Dil AAP Ka Hua.
If a new political season comes from the party: AAP Aaye Bahaar Ayee.
If the voters are with the party: AAP Ke Saath.
The party’s internal Lokpal: AAP Ki Adalat.
If Kejriwal breaks his promises: AAP To Aise Na The!
If the party makes dumb decisions: Kya AAP Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?
Servants of the people: AAP Ki Sewa Main.
Theme song…
AAP jaise koi mere zindagi main aaye, to baat ban jaaye…

Thank you , Rajdeep Sirdesai !
Thank you for conducting that brutal interview of Arvind Kejriwal , Saturday evening
Normally , Arvind is a very reticent fellow
But you managed to rattle him !
But for your penetrating questions , Arvind would not have volunteered to reveal on his own , the following :
> RESERVATION OF 90 % SEATS
– It is only for 28 colleges which are partially or fully funded by Delhi
Government
It is for ANY student ( from any state of India ) , who passes his / her
10th standard from any Delhi school
> FREE WATER
– Only 20KL per month is free
Our goal is to ” Reduce Consumption / Conserve ”
Hence it makes sense to charge those who continue to consume more
than 20 KL .
If they want FREE , they must cut back on consumption !
Again it makes lot of Economic Sense , to give water free , only to
those who have meters
Lakhs of households will now get motivated to install meters !
A very powerful incentive
That will introduce ” Measurement of Resource ”
> NO WATER IN SLUMS / UNAUTHORISED COLONIES
– This is a physical problem of laying 150 Km of new pipe-lines /
installation of pumps etc
No one asked Congress government re this for 15 years !
It is totally unfair to expect AAP to do this in 15 days !
> DIFFERING VIEWS / OPINIONS AMONGST AAP LEADERS
– This is what democracy is all about !
We encourage ALL to speak their minds without fear / reservations
Ideas must flow unhindered
We believe in brain-storming , not in suppressing views !
But ,
PAC members / MLAs / Core Committee Members etc will need to toe the
FINAL PARTY POSITION ( arrived after fierce internal debate / evaluation /
consensus ) in public , irrespective of their personal views
As far as millions of ORDINARY MEMBERS are concerned ( including Capt
Gopinath / Mallika Sarabhai etc ) , they are at liberty to criticize even the
FINAL PARTY POSITION
We impose PARTY DISCIPLINE , only on office bearers
And since Vinod Binny is our MLA , he is bound by this internal CODE OF
CONDUCT .
He must leave the party , if he cannot comply
> SOMNATH BHARATI TAKING LAW IN OWN HANDS
– If Delhi police won’t act against drug mafia / sex racketeers , despite a
pile of complaints from local citizens , then our ministers will come out on
the streets , in support of the oppressed
We will not hesitate to join their agitation / revolt against the corrupt !
Even Mahatma Gandhi , had to break the unjust British Laws
We will do the same
If we cannot change the law with the support of our MLAs , then we will
break it with the support of the suffering public
Make no mistakes about it !
> AAP ENGAGING IN ANARCHY / CHAOS / POPULISM
– Another TV channel editor said , we are continuing ” Activism ”
Still another TV anchor says , AAP failed to graduate to ” Governance ”
Use any – and all – adjectives you can , to describe our behavior / actions
We are not guided / governed by any ” Ideology ” ( Left / Right / Center )
When we take any decision / action , we only apply ” Gandhi Guideline ” ,
viz ; ” Will this help the poorest person ? ”
> AAP TAKING CONGRESS SUPPORT
– If they like , let them withdraw their ( unasked for ) support today
Let there be re-elections
People of Delhi will bring us back with 50 seats
> CONTESTING LOK DABHA SEAT ?
– I may , if Party asks me
[ Arvind ,
Whereas all the rest of your answers were most appropriate , this was
the most disappointing !
If you succumb to the " wishes " of your colleagues , not only the
people of Delhi , but of entire India , will conclude that ,
# You are an opportunist
# You are after power
# You cannot be trusted
# You have betrayed them ]
Once again , thank you Rajdeep ,
But for your grilling , public would have continued to believe the canards being dished out by those pseudo – experts trying to drown out each other , on panel discussions / obsessions !
