Unsolicited  Advice  to  Arvind  Kejriwal

Dear Arvind ,

Congratulations to people of Delhi for reposing their faith in AAP

It would have been nice if AAP were to form the government

However , it will be much " nicer " that you will sit in the Assembly as a " Responsible / Constructive " opposition !

And learn your first lessons in functioning of parliamentary democracy

Remember , people of entire country will watch , how you conduct yourself

Will you continue with ,

>  Mud-slinging / Gallies / Abuses

>  Personal attacks re: corruption

>  Negativism / Sulking

>  " Holier - than - Thou "  attitude

Or ,

Whether you will ,

>   Be " Positive rather than Negative "

>   Be  "  Pro-active rather than Re-active "

>   Without waiting for BJP to introduce , take the initiative to introduce

     relevant Bills in the Assembly in respect of following items of BJP's

     Poll Manifesto

EDUCATION

>  Reserve 85 % seats in Delhi colleges for local students

WOMEN & CHILDREN

>   Set-up more fast track courts for speedy trial of women-related cases

LAW & ORDER

>  Set up 24 hour help-line

SC / ST / MINORITIES

>  Ensure speedy justice in the 1984 riots

URBAN DEVELOPMENT

>  Build tower blocks for slum-dwellers

WATER

>  Rationalize water tariff

POWER

>  Reduce tariff by 30 %

TRANSPORT

>  Introduce a centralized traffic plan

JOBS

>  Provide easy loans for self employment

OTHERS

>  Make Lok-Ayukta, an effective institution with sufficient powers

By being FIRST to introduce these Bills , you will prove to the people of India that,

"  Role of opposition is not confined to simply oppose whatever bills get introduced by the Government in power , but take upon itself to introduce whatever bills it considers vital for the welfare of the people who voted for them - and ALL the other voters who DID NOT vote for them  "

I believe your Lok Ayukta Bill is ready ( since you had planned to pass it on 29th Dec )

So , how about introducing that as an " Opposition Bill " as soon as Assembly gets convened ?

For a change , how about putting the ruling party on its back - foot ?

By being " Offensive " , you will put the BJP on the " Defensive "  !

Then people will know how sincere is BJP with its poll promises  !

For long , you have been talking of a " different kind of politics "

Now is your chance to convert  your  " Hypothesis " into a " Theory " !

Remember ,

Whether people of India will vote for AAP or not in 2014 , will depend upon you performance as a Constructive Opposition , during the next 6 months
