I am an 'Aam Aadmi' and my concern is...


Two years back when ‘India Against Corruption’ was founded, I was excited to be part of the new generation awareness for change in the fundamental working of the political system.
I was inspired by ‘Arvind Kejriwal’, the winner of the Magsaysay award, who galvanized the nation and brought people to streets to spearhead against the government that was ruthlessly corrupted in every possible opportunity.

An ‘aam aadmi’ realized the importance of transparency in the system and engineered ‘RTI’ that eventually could pull power sockets in different government agencies.  
Wow!!! India needs ‘Arvind Kejriwal’ – I’m convinced.

Few months back

The aw-inspiring Arvind Kejriwal launched the ‘Aam Aadmi Party’ that astonished several including me since I remember Kerjriwal mentioning earlier that to change the corrupted system one need not be part of the system. That’s what led to IAC.
Maybe, Arvind realized the importance of being in the political arena. I’m convinced, why shouldn’t Kejriwal be part of the system that needs radical changes?

2 months back and then on!

Kejriwal is the Chief Minister of Delhi. I was interested to see what development plans unwind to change the course of the corrupt politics, governance measures to tackle inflation, security of women in the capital.
To the much excitement of Arvind Kejriwal sworn in as Chief Minister, I was equally surprised, as half the nation, when ‘Aam Aadmi Party’ accepted the support of Congress Party. How could ‘AAP’ that fights corruption and that was founded on the basis of anti-corruption movement, take support of those you wish to fight with? Can I fight my enemy with my enemy backing me up in the field. My little knowledge of ‘battlefield’ tactics was beaten down! I’m confused!!!

But who is he fighting against? Is he fighting at all?

Can the ‘Law Minister’ of the capital state take law in his hands? – He can, because he is ‘Aam Aadmi’, and a man of responsibility, who has not studied the boundaries of the law and thereby advocating the illegal arrests of women at mid nights!

‘Should Kashmir be given away’? This is my common sense calling and I’m sure I don’t need diplomat studies to say that an ‘aam aadmi’ will not live without his head.

‘Khap Panchayats encourage cultural heritage’ – Well! the ‘Aam Aadmi’ is governed by the constitution and will not need parallel governments.

What We Need! INDIA is at cross-roads and must decide NOW!

We need a government that carves paths for millions of aspiring youth amidst the strategic, economic, political pressures from the neighboring countries and in the international forum.
We need a government with a nationalistic view over policies concerning it.
We need a government that has strong leadership in taking tough stances against the enemies.
We need a visionary who can propel growth from inward, lead to sovereignty.

I’m convinced that...

AAP is experiencing the indian way of politics and getting accustomed to it.

While AAP is still a baby learning to understand and cope up with the political pressures, what is the need for rush up in LS elections? Has Kejriwal succumb to the same system that he intend to change?

Kejriwal reminds me of  'Julian Assange' because I start to see him as a whistle blower rather than a leader that I voted to change the attitude of the political spectra.

As an 'aam aadmi' my vote is certainly not for AAP because I don't need a 'Aam Admi' to lead india but a leader with an iron fist who sees India as a whole nation.

     - Thanks to Mr. Kejriwal, I am a Confused 'aam aadmi'...Are you riding on our shoulders?
