Dr
Kiran Bedi has finally landed in the Emperor’s camp and that was expected. It was clear from the days of India Against
Corruption that her ultimate goal was political power. When she understood that Arvind Kejriwal was
not the kind who could sway the masses as effectively as Narendra Modi, she
made the right choice. Who can blame
her? Why blame at all?
Was
Kiran Bedi an epitome of moral values and any kind of principles at any
time? Yes, as a police officer she did
make significant contributions particularly towards making the prison system in
India more effective and productive. She
was a good police officer.
Was
she above blame? In 1992 she got her
daughter admission for MBBS course in Delhi’s Hardinge College by manipulating
the quota for the tribal students of the North-east. Ms Bedi (not Dr at that time) offered many
justifications for her act but nobody who knew the facts would have bought her explanations.
Later
her NGO came under the scanner for manipulating the flight charges of some of
her hosts for monetary gains. Once again
she offered explanations which were absolutely spurious.
In
fact, politics cannot afford to have moral values and principles. Dr Bedi has chosen the right profession. And the right party, because she will be a
winner. AAP could not have been quite
the right party for her. I wish her all
the best.
Now , its her turn to show her administrative capabilities
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she will do that part well.
DeleteI think she could not hide anymore her thirst for power.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion this decision has damaged the image which was created in the minds of hundreds of AAM AADMIS in India.
She was not hiding it anyway, she was just waiting for the right opportunity.
DeleteNo, the decision has not damaged anything. Those who know her also know that her image is mostly fabricated.
Wishing her all the best and prove her mettle.... once again..
ReplyDeleteOf course, she will prove it. Flip flop comes to her quite easily from the days of IAC
DeleteIt is one,s own right .Why do you so bothering
ReplyDeleteMy country is my bothe .
DeleteWelcme move by her. Wish to see her as CM, Delhi.
ReplyDeleteYes and Delhi will be the richer. Later there will be two equally efficient contenders for the PM's chair.
DeleteEven when she was a serving officer, she cocked a snook at the faceless character of government service and indulged in self projection. This foray into politics is but a natural progression.
ReplyDeleteAditi, I'm also suggesting that Dr Bedi is a blatant opportunist and has no principles. But she may be a good administrator. Such ironies are not new to us, Indians.
DeleteWell My thoughts differ when she was a officer she DID do good work, and in our nation one needs to have power to do some good work. I am not sure if i can hold her using her resources to get her daughter admission, WE all do that , AS long as she goes into office and then WORKS for the GOOD of the people, even if it is a LITTLE good I have no qualms voting for her.
ReplyDeleteThe problem in our nation is that leaders and politicians come to power and then start to fill up their own coffers for the five years without doing anything for the nation or the people living in the nation THAT IN MY EYES is bad ..
regarding corruption etc that has made way in OUR DNA sir , little hard to take out now

I accept your view, Bikram. I have to pragmatic. One cannot have the best of everything, particularly in politics. That is precisely why my attitude to Dr Bedi is ambivalent. I wish such ambivalence was not required. I wish people like Dr Bedi were a little more principled, a little less hypocritical.
Deletewell sir.. POLITICIAN how can we expect them to be less hypocrates .. the other word for politician is hypocrates :)
