When people talk about someone " building a castle
in air " , it is said in a derogatory way
But dreamers know no other way !
All of them build castles in air
And a few fortunate ( - and hardworking ) , even
succeed in laying a foundation under that castle , at a later date !
Modern day civil engineers have even demonstrated that
one can build a sky-scraper , by building the top-most floor first and the
foundation , very last !
Being a dreamer , Arvind Kejriwal has , over the past
few months , built just such a 18 story sky-scraper , in the sky ( - remember his 18 point
questionnaire to Congress ? )
When he gets sworn-in as Delhi Chief Minister on 28th ,
he must start laying a foundation below that sky-scraper
It will have to be a foundation of " Good
Governance ", consisting of :
> Committed
colleagues ( not Ayaram - Gayaram ! )
> Non corrupt
bureaucrats
> Transparent
processes
> Timely
delivery of services to Delhi citizens
> " Always Approachable " ministers ( no beacons
/ security / bungalows )
> Periodic public scrutiny of Government's
performance
>
Decentralized decision making
.............etc
I may have left out a few items
That is not important
What is very important is ,
In coming days ,
will AAP leaders conduct themselves with such honesty / dignity / transparency
/ sense of purpose , that ,
> 42
opposition MLAs would find it impossible
to oppose the Vote of
Confidence
on 3rd Jan ?
> Congress /
BJP will be forced to take action against their own corrupt
leaders (
eg: Adarsh Scam ) ?
> Some 1400
regional political parties ( as per Election Commission
records )
may consider merging with AAP , in order to bring about
a change in
the political climate of India ( a viable 3rd front ) ?
DEAR ARVIND ,
> Do not
allow the past corruption crimes of Congress / BJP , to cloud
your vision
> Do not
fritter away your energy in solving pea-nut problems
> Enlarge
your horizon beyond Delhi, to cover whole of India
> Focus on
2014
