The
happenings in AAP shudders me. Closest pillars of the party, who were the
support system for the new experiment in politics, were amputed immediately
after the growth.
I am shocked at the revelation of the true face behind Arvind Kejriwals's mask. I beleived in the hope that idealism can be worked through, could be created and movements can happen.
Everything was new wave: Transparency, claimed democratisation bereft of caste, professional people at the top, mobilization, communication, volunteers and fund gathering etc. Kindly note, it went to such an extent that good number of people quit their lucrative job abroad to be part of the movement. It was not a party that drew uneducated and unemployed youth looking for unofficial employability. Passionate people like me too felt it.
I was willing to get associated. Further, gave a thought to be part of it as I am hopeful & don't want to be cynical. How wrong was I? I was being naive.
The idea of 'good' prosocial people joining to build the party so that something good will come out seems just out of place. The leader just becomes high command.
At one level it vindicates my loss of faith in politics being proactively benevolent. Most politicians are unreliable for the purported issues. Whatever good happens, it happens inspite of politicians being at helms.
Adolescents are like that, marriages have issues, cheating is common in business and political parties are always like that…. Chalta hai, Hota hai…expressions belong to this genre. I am perplexed with respect to the role of intervention and the dwelling hope.
Probably, the anguish in me is speaking..
