Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Come Out in the Streets !



When Anna and Arvind sat on a fast in Ram Lila ground in 2011 , millions of people came out on the streets in support of the Jan Lok Pal Bill


But neither fasting nor outpouring on the streets made any impact on the arrogant MPs and Ministers of Lok Sabha


They went to the extent of preaching ,


“ You cannot make laws on the streets. For that , you must contest polls , get people to vote for you – then occupy your seats in the Lok Sabha “


Arvind realized the harsh reality of the current political rot in the country. Man Mohan Singh’s India of 2011 was not Mahatma’s India of 1941 !


In 2011 , there was no place for a peaceful “ Satyagraha “ .


[  Q: Will fasting by Chandrababu Naidu and Jagan Reddy succeed ?  ]


Apparently what worked with the “ Gora Sahibs “ way back , was not working with the “ Brown Sahibs “ now !


So , what were his choices ?


Ø    Change the rulers by resorting to an “ Armed Revolt “ – as recently witnessed in a number of Arab / Moslem countries ?


Ø    Form a political party and fight / win the elections , to change the corrupt system from “ within “ ?



For Arvind and his “ believers “ , the idea of violence was an anathema


So , very rightly , they decided to fight the elections



People of Delhi !



If you want the Democracy and Decency to triumph over Crime and Corruption of the Mighty , then , on 4th December , come out on the streets of Delhi once again


And elect , at least 40 AAP candidates to Delhi Assembly



Remember , it has to be either 40 or forget  !  Minority is powerless  !
