No
Option ?
Arvind
Kejriwal is left with no option but to form the government in Delhi
By
agreeing with almost all the conditions stipulated by him , Congress has left
him with no excuse , not to form a government
Although
it is difficult to say what motivated Congress to accept AAP's conditions ,
here is my guess :
>
As in the case of " Tainted MPs " ordinance , Rahul Gandhi forced the
issue , because he too , genuinely believes in
decentralization of
democracy
>
By hook or by crook , Congress wants to keep BJP out of power in Delhi
>
Congress may have realized that in case of a re-poll , it would end up
losing even its current 8 seats . A terrible omen for 2014 elections !
>
In any case , on most of the issues raised by AAP , there is a lot of
commonality in the poll manifestos of Congress and AAP
Not accepting AAP's conditions would be tantamount to saying ,
" But our poll promises hold good only if we are voted to
power " !
>
In view of the 2014 national elections , Congress wants AAP to remain
pre-occupied with governance of Delhi , effectively putting a brake on its
national ambitions
>
By agreeing , Congress wants to divert the attention of the people from
its murky past and let them focus on the re-invented image of ,
" Congress - the Reformer "
>
If , with its backing , AAP succeeds in delivering good governance in the
next 6 months , Congress can share the credit of being , " Pro Poor
People "
That would enable Congress to tell 760 million voters ,
" We can deliver good governance nation-wide, if you vote for us
"
At
this point of time , trying to figure out the motives of Congress is irrelevant
It
is entirely possible that , on the condition of strong Lok Ayukt in Delhi ,
counter-condition of Congress , could be a trap for AAP to walk in !
But
knowing that fully , AAP must take the risk !
When
he went to attend the second Round Table Conference in London ( 1931 ) ,
Mahatma Gandhi realized that it was going to be a failure
He
was acutely aware of the trap laid by the British
But
he saw that the hopes of millions of Indians fighting his non-violent movement
, were riding on his trip
So
he went
My
uncle , poet Meghani sent following poem to Mahatma :
"
Even as you know the futility of your mission ,
O Bapu ,
Drink this last cup of hemlock ( poison ),
You ,
Who have drank oceans of poison
Served by the British ,
Do not throw away this spoonful "
Poor
people of Delhi are saying something similar to Arvind , today !
