Arvind should have continued as the CM of Delhi (like Narendra Modi is doing) and promoted AAP by carefully selecting candidates, policies, making strong but sensible comments. But by his over ambition or rush to become the PM, AK threw baby with the bath water.<br /><br />Incidentally, all that what Arvind has said and is saying are my ideas since 1978 of New Life, New India and New World -- Nav Jivan, Nav Bharat aur Nav Jagat. <br /><br />Arvind Kejriwal infact messed up the silent, non-violent people's revolution by rushing in where Angels fear to tread. For more details read my 42nd book Dr. Leo's Lens - The Blueprint for a Holistic Development of India and the Special issue of Just-in-Print (March 1 to 15) at http://justinprint.in/drleorebello.html.<br /><br />My instinct too has not failed me. And my instinct tells me that AAP is washed out, unless Arvind meets me one-to-one for serious planning rather than the road shows. Otherwise, even fine ladies like Medha Patkar and Soni Suri may not win. And what about Irom Sharmila? All political parties, including AAP, have forgotten her.<br /><br />Keep in touch. Best Wishes.

I also think they are against FDI when we do need the money to spur growth. One thing all need to understand is that the economy needs to create jobs. The rest I think will follow.Amrit Yegnanarayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368374083529502794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-53378896257722121532014-02-16T22:53:09.313+05:302014-02-16T22:53:09.313+05:30whyyyyyy/?whyyyyyy/?Mileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601717030485646931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-71012288929971367432014-02-16T22:13:08.559+05:302014-02-16T22:13:08.559+05:30Kejariwal playing to the gallery.

If he is sincere passing the bill, a) he could have challenged the center intervention in the court b) he should have taken sms poll which he did before becoming the CM.<br /><br />He was taking centers permission to table "Jan Lokpal Bill" in the parliament. But he did take permission of center to table "Money Bill" in the parliament. Can anybody explain the double standards.<br /><br />Everyone looks for his own gain.
