What Could Arvind Do ?

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  !  )
