Obit on an illusion called "Aam Aadmi "

Not very longtime back politics in India essentially was dominated by upper class families and so called ancient political inheritors. Then politics predominantly was a practice of dividing the public on the basis of their religion, ethnicity and class.  Even decades and decades after independence, we as a nation never came any were closer  to  what Gandhiji the Father of our Nation had planned for us. Corruption, poverty, unemployment, lack of education, lack of proper sanitation and communal intolerance kept the nation hooked to politics of intolerance and economics of uncertainties. 

Gradually people started losing hope of any revival from their political leaders and it became a commonsense that politicians came to power only to use it to suppress and throttle other political parties from rising up. They used their political power to nurse their arrogance and quench their hunger for  "moh maya and money".  It was in such hour of extreme disillusionment and disappointment that  a leader  Arrivind Kejriwal and his political party  Aam Aadmi came with a promise of giving  a clean and corruption free governance.

Aam Aadmi Party  under the leadership of Arrivind Kejriwal  soon became a household name across the cities and suburbs of India. The Aam Aadmi wave literally dominated the Delhi politics and to some extent the national politics. Kejriwal's overnight coming to  power and popularity reminded me of Nelson Mandela's quote  "Its always seems impossible until it is done"

Aam Aadmi party which completely destroyed India's oldest political Party CONGRESS and which  became a formidable challenger to the most dominating political party of the day  today stands on the crossroad of political  self-destruction.  Kejriwal's  Modi obsession and his "man in hurry"attitude to become  the  "political powerhouse" nationally has put him to his downhill political journey, The way  some of his trusted lieutenants are in a hurry  to betray the trust for few applauds and media bytes  are sure signs of brewing internal conflicts in the party. The chances of  Arrivind Kejriwal himself emerging as the biggest problem for his party can also be not ruled out. Sadly the party that  was not very longtime back  the  people's hope for revival of politics, today stand on the verge of a proverbial collapse .

The  2 crore Bribe allegation against Arrivind Kejriwal by Kapil Mishra one of his  sacked minster is now in  the process of opening the veritable can of worms. Looks like a  perfect setup to write an OBIT on an illusion called "Aam Aadmi..!
