Thank you for conducting that brutal interview of
Arvind Kejriwal , Saturday evening
Normally , Arvind is a very reticent fellow
But you managed to rattle him !
But for your penetrating questions , Arvind would not
have volunteered to reveal on his own , the following :
> RESERVATION
OF 90 % SEATS
- It is only for 28 colleges which are
partially or fully funded by Delhi
Government
It is for
ANY student ( from any state of India ) , who passes his / her
10th
standard from any Delhi school
> FREE WATER
- Only 20KL per month is free
Our goal
is to " Reduce Consumption / Conserve "
Hence it
makes sense to charge those who continue to consume more
than 20
KL .
If they
want FREE , they must cut back on consumption
!
Again it
makes lot of Economic Sense , to give water free , only to
those who
have meters
Lakhs of
households will now get motivated to install meters !
A very
powerful incentive
That will
introduce " Measurement of Resource "
> NO WATER IN
SLUMS / UNAUTHORISED COLONIES
- This is a physical problem of laying 150 Km
of new pipe-lines /
installation of pumps etc
No one asked
Congress government re this for 15 years !
It is
totally unfair to expect AAP to do this in 15 days !
> DIFFERING
VIEWS / OPINIONS AMONGST AAP LEADERS
- This is what democracy is all about !
We encourage
ALL to speak their minds without fear / reservations
Ideas must
flow unhindered
We believe in
brain-storming , not in suppressing views
!
But ,
PAC members /
MLAs / Core Committee Members etc will need to toe the
FINAL PARTY
POSITION
( arrived after fierce internal debate / evaluation /
consensus ) in
public , irrespective of their personal views
As far as
millions of ORDINARY MEMBERS are concerned ( including Capt
Gopinath /
Mallika Sarabhai etc ) , they are at liberty to criticize even the
FINAL PARTY
POSITION
We impose
PARTY DISCIPLINE , only on office bearers
And since
Vinod Binny is our MLA , he is bound by this internal CODE OF
CONDUCT .
He must leave
the party , if he cannot comply
> SOMNATH
BHARATI TAKING LAW IN OWN HANDS
- If Delhi police won't act against drug mafia
/ sex racketeers , despite a
pile of
complaints from local citizens , then our ministers will come out on
the streets ,
in support of the oppressed
We will not
hesitate to join their agitation / revolt against the corrupt !
Even Mahatma
Gandhi , had to break the unjust British Laws
We will do the
same
If we cannot
change the law with the support of our MLAs , then we will
break it with
the support of the suffering public
Make no
mistakes about it !
> AAP
ENGAGING IN ANARCHY / CHAOS / POPULISM
- Another TV channel editor said , we are
continuing " Activism "
Still another
TV anchor says , AAP failed to graduate to " Governance "
Use any - and
all - adjectives you can , to describe our behavior / actions
We are not
guided / governed by any " Ideology
" ( Left / Right / Center )
When we take
any decision / action , we only apply " Gandhi Guideline " ,
viz ; " Will this help the poorest person ?
"
> AAP TAKING
CONGRESS SUPPORT
- If they like , let them withdraw their (
unasked for ) support today
Let there be
re-elections
People of
Delhi will bring us back with 50 seats
> CONTESTING
LOK DABHA SEAT ?
- I may , if Party asks me
[ Arvind ,
Whereas all the rest of your answers were most
appropriate , this was
the most
disappointing !
If you
succumb to the " wishes " of your colleagues , not only the
people
of Delhi , but of entire India , will conclude that ,
# You
are an opportunist
# You
are after power
# You cannot be trusted
# You have betrayed them ]
Once again , thank you Rajdeep ,
But for your grilling , public would have continued to
believe the canards being dished out by those pseudo - experts trying to drown
out each other , on panel discussions / obsessions !
