Arvind Kejriwal's Fight Against Corruption. Is he the real Saviour ?


Recently if you are following the national news you are well aware that Mr. Arvind Kejriwal has began a revolution in India by revealing the true colours of our so called Netas. One after another ..........be it Robert Vadra (national jamairaja), Salman Khurshid  or Nitin Gadkari everybody.


I don't hesitate to say that this is the second independence movement of India after 65 years.

I believe that Arvind Kejriwal is right .But many believe that he is wrong....why not democracy after all. They say he is wrong and raking up much to carve political space for his yet-to-be-named party at the expense of established players. So much so that certain right wing activists have branded him a closet communist for having spared the Left from his onslaught across political divide. Arvind Kejriwal has strongly alleged that  there are 16 "corrupt" ministers in the Union Cabinet, key Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said the fight against such politicians would be revived soon by exposing them. Kejriwal also said that there is a need to strengthen the network of people to put up an aggressive fight over the Lokpal Bill.

Kejriwal has no faith in the agencies under government control. He’s also unwilling to approach courts with documentations he shares with the Media to shame the alleged culprits. His stock solution for all ills is the institution of the Jan Lokpal that isn’t going to happen any time soon till the UPA is in the seat.

I wonder will Kejriwal succeed in his mission ?

The evil called corruption stays healthy as ever amid the chaos. We have just seen how an honest IAS officer Mr. Ashok Khemka was sacrificed when he was trying to actually catch the bull by its horns by giving order to probe the Vadra-DLF deal. But the tragedy is nobody will back his case for he is another faceless man among us all who attempted to honestly fulfil his duty. He won't have a media backing nor an honest friend (except lawyer Anupam Gupta) as everyone, who was sympathising with him till this morning, will now turn on the channel that will give the closest view of yet another Kejriwal production.
We can teach the politicians not to regard themselves as 'first among equals' and to do so, it is very much necessary that we as citizens, take more interest in the field and involve ourselves to effect a change on the ground. If we start today, the good results can only be seen after two-three decades. IAC can be seen as a movement that set the ball rolling but now, it is only the citizens of the country who can take the movement forward.
The attack should remain focussed throughout and just by voting against politicians (it is a startling fact that in the world's largest democracy today people actually vote against more than vote for somebody) is not any response to the system's failure.

The last important question is Kejriwal has made an impressive beginning. Can he script a happy ending ?
