The tussle between the AAP ( read Arvind Kejriwal ) and the Lt Governor of Delhi, Mr Jung, is becoming an embarrassment to India and abroad.
There is a hidden reason to this tussle; the common man may not be able to see through this; but many people do.
Mr Kejriwal is given to tantrums, gimmicks, playing to the galleries, and drama which will catch the common man's emotions. He banks on this for political mileage. He calls himself an anarchist, which he probably is, judging by what was going on in his last short tenure as CM, and this new tenure too.
Emotional blackmail of the public, strances and drama is all right if you look at him as a politician in the short run. But in the long run, this could be self destructive.
He has no respect for the law, knows very little about governance, and by the time he does get down to proper governance, he will be long gone, and remembered as a jester.
Aurangzeb would have probably loved to have him as a court jester, and then perhaps would have put him to the sword.
Why does Mr Kejriwal oppose everything? He tries to recruit policemen from Bihar for the Delhi Police, which constitutionally is not under his control. He promises hundreds of jobs to people of his own choice without knowing that there are set rules and norms for recruitment. I am saying " without knowing ", but my take is that he very well knows this.
Why does he want the control of the Anti Corruption Bureau? He behaves as if he already owns this Bureau!
To hundreds and thousands of voters who have made him the CM of Delhi a second time ( despite his losing face in the first ), he has become a thorn in the neck, and has vanquished their aspirations.
His continuous fight with the Lt Governor, Mr Jung, is an embarrassment to India and abroad.
What will Mr Modi do? Nothing perhaps. Mr Modi has no time for jokers and will wait for Kejriwal to destroy himself!
