Why Arvind Kejriwal and AAP do not deserve a second chance

AAP-supporters-3

In the beginning Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) looked promising but then after a while, the Nayak’s spell almost vanished into thin air! The 49-day old government was more in news for wrong things and activist attitude of the government and its leaders even after coming to power. Kejriwal announced his resignation after his party failed to introduced the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi assembly and what looked a promising beginning in Indian politics came to an abrupt end.

Thinking of giving the AAP a second chance? Here are 5 reasons why you should think twice before voting for the AAP in the next elections:

Where is the ‘Aam Aadmi’ in AAP: We guess, Arvind Kejriwal is a Shakespeare fan! He took ‘What’s in the name’ quite literally! With increasing number of high profile joinees AAP does look like becoming an elitist phenomenon. So where is the Aam Aadmi in the Aam Aadmi Party?

AAP and its socialistic approach: Its economic policies were pro-poor, mainly focused on the welfare, irrespective of the current economic slowdown. We totally get that pro-poor principle, but what about the economy?

If you criticize AAP, you are corrupt:  Talk about being intolerant towards criticism! There is lot of corruption, agreed! But not all the apples can be bad, right? AAP has a bias that anyone who criticizes the AAP is corrupt/pro-BJP or Congress!

So much for being ‘different’: What’s with the façade of being ‘different’?! Protecting Somnath Bharti for his inhuman, racist attack on African nationals shows that AAP is no different from immensely criticized MNS and Tamil parties. If you find MNS, Anti-Lankan Parties and the Kashmir separatists undemocratic and divisive, AAP is no different.

Brownie points for the supporters: Giving subsidy to those consumers who did not pay their electricity bills as part of AAP’s power agitation during Sheila Dixit’s government reflects anarchy, is unjust and promotes inequality in the society. How different is it from other political parties who reward their supporters?
