After 49 days in office , Arvind Kejriwal resigned as
CM of Delhi
Some people say , he is a " Bhagoda " ( an
absconder ), who ran away from his responsibility to people of Delhi
Now , if you were AK , what would you have done , if
you were faced with the following situation ?
> You have
promised to people of Delhi , to root-out corruption
> To this
end , you have promised to pass Jan Lok Pal Bill
> Business
Rules of Central Government say , Delhi Government CANNOT
introduce
any bill which has financial implication / burden , without first
seeking OK
from the Lieutenant Governor ( LG ) to introduce the bill
> Business
Rules are " Un-Constitutional " , as per eminent jurists
> But
Congress Government at Centre , was NOT willing to drop these
rules ,
despite a written request from Delhi Government
> LG had no
power to give a go-bye to the rules . His only option was to
reject the
introduction of the bill , if it was referred to him
> Knowing
this too well , Congress / BJP ganged up and insisted that
AK must ,
first refer the bill to LG and introduce it in Assembly , only if
approved by
LG
Did Arvind have any option other than to resign ?
Now suppose , he throws up his hands and tells people
of Delhi ,
" What can
I do ?
I tried my
best but BJP / Congress would not let me introduce the bill ,
citing some
un-constitutional rules
Jan Lok Pal
Bill must wait till ,
* AAP comes to power at the Centre and drops
those Business Rules
( I admit , this
is a most unlikely scenario ! )
* AAP government at Centre grants full
Statehood to Delhi
So , I have
decided to forget the whole matter and continue as CM "
Those very same people would have said ,
" What
business you have to continue as CM , if you cannot fulfill your
promises ?
You are no
different than those power-hungry politicians of BJP / Congress
If you have
any shame left , you must resign immediately
"
DEAR ARVIND ,
Kuchh to log Kahenge
Logo ka kaam hain kahena
Chhodo ye bekaar ki baante
Kahin bit naa jaye rainaa (- I
mean , Mat-Ganana ! )
* hemen parekh
( 22 April 2014 /
Mumbai )
