So, AAP senior personnel walk through Churchgate station to big crowds which leads to two metal detector stands toppling - anarchy and chaos have been unleashed. Kejriwal and Aaj Tak interviewer have chat about subject matter off camera - AAP is fixing the media. Kejriwal takes a lift in the India Today plane to attend their Conclave session to save time, without inconveniencing anyone else - he is behaving like a hypocritical khaas aadmi. AAP organises a fund-raising dinner with Kejriwal where Rs 20,000 is the denomination - AAP is making a mockery of the common man. AAP supporters protest peacefully against BJPs harassment of Kejriwal in Gujarat, BJP personnel attacks them with stones (confirmed by CNN IBN and NDTV reporters that BJP attacked first) and AAP retaliates - AAP is breaking the law and resorting to violence. Despite that, Kejriwal publicly apologises for his supporters retaliating - AAP is just like any other party. Two disgruntled senior members of AAP, transparently angry about not getting election tickets, badmouth AAP on television shows - AAP is imploding. Prashant Bhushan publicly admits that AAPs policy of giving electricity bill defaulters a benefit may be faulty - AAP is confused. Yogendra Yadavs face is blackened by a hired goon - AAP is facing the wrath of the common man. Kejriwal goes on a protest to communicate his limitations of taking on corrupt and errant Delhi police ways - Kejriwal can only be an activist, not a politician. Not making progress on their core agenda leads Kejriwal to resign and seek a majority (how often has that happened in Indian politics?) - Kejriwal is a quitter. The number of seemingly intelligent and sensible people posting and re-posting stuff resembling these is intriguing. Yes, I do understand grasping new ideas easily is not quite a strong suit in our quarters, but such poor absorption of detail? And so comprehensively missing the big picture? Are we going to prove this election year how democracy can be a miserable failure too?
