PM Narendra Modi is leading the Election Campaign of BJP whereas Rahul Gandhi has taken the controls of campaign for INC in his hands which was found ineffective by most of the congress leaders of Karnataka and Mrs. Sonia Gandhi has been called to enter in the campaign. However, Sonia Gandhi has been kept aside herself since last few months from public life and politics. So, it would be quite interesting to see what she speaks there in Karnataka. Though PM Modi has questioned her entry as a fear of Congress.

In Political circles also people has started saying that Mrs. Sonia Gandhi has been called to do campaigns in Karnataka after regular demands from the leaders of Karnaraka Congress Committee. According to sources members of Karnataka Congress Committee are not confident of victory by the campaigns led by Mr. Rahul Gandhi The Chairperson of Indian National Congress.

There is doubt among the leaders of Karnataka Congress Committee about the impact of Rahul Gandhi in Karnataka Elections. They are afraid of loosing elections as one by one after conducting several public meetings Rahul Gandhi was found quite ineffective to create any air in favour of Congress. So Mrs. Sonia Gandhi is being called as an angle with SOS. Let's wait till 15th May When the results of Karnataka Elections will come. Till then, we should wait and watch which side sits the camel? 

A K 49 : Agent Of Pakistan?

It is just 30 days before when there was a post in this blog A K 49 : Power of a Common Man. where there was a mild yet blinking ray of hope as well as a message about the unpredictable and unconventional moves of AK which may potentially change the face of Indian politics. Meanwhile, a lot has happened which were enough to compel to re-think about the sanctity and dignity of AK and AAP.  

Whether it was a matter of ticket distributions of candidates or leaking of a sting video of his interview to a television channel which apparently looked alike a fixed interview has enough potential to make one re-consider about the moral and ethics of AK and AAP. However, it is too early to make a conclusion as if this entire episodes depicts failure of AK or its another strategy of AK to divert the attention of media.  

During recent days a new perception has came into existence which spells it otherwise, as if AK is targeting BJP and Narendra Modi more, than Congress and Rahul Gandhi or Sonia Gandhi. It caused serious itch and irritation to BJP and their leaders. Hence, in order to give an appropriate defiance to AK, Narendra Modi the BJP candidate for PM has chosen the same name as first time named in this blog only i.e. A K 49. But, this time its different than the previous. Its not A K 49 : Power of a Common Man rather, Its A K 49 : Agent of Pakistan?  

Now, its time to leave it upon the wisdom of India, what exactly is the perception about AK. It is A K 49 : Power of a Common Man or A K 49 : Agent of Pakistan?

A K 49 : Power of a Common Man

India has witnessed a great political renovation in the name of AAM AADMI PARTY led by Arvind Kejriwal (A K), who had been able to belie all political speculations and grabbed 28 seats of Delhi Assembly during the last assembly elections. A K defeated Shiela Dixit with a historic margin of votes. Shiela Dixit was a ruling Chief Minister of Delhi since last 15 years. Whereas, A K was a new chum, who had entered into politics just two years back after shoving away a promising career as an IRS. A K sworn as Chief Minister of Delhi as a great surprise and nightmare to the political corridor. Media was astonished and forced to be engaged in decoding the denotations of this political metamorphosis. Psephologists and political gurus were stunned, politicians were speechless and the common men were confounded by experiencing their own strength. It compelled all political parties to re-plan and re-master their strategies. It was a result of their re-mastered strategy only that paved the way to form a government at DELHI in the leadership of A K. In fact, it was Congress Party who tried to make AAM AADMI PARTY a scapegoat, anticipating that A K won't be able to keep the promises he made with the citizens of DELHI, and will be exposed as a betrayer. Almost, the same opinion had the BJP also. Though, Congress offered an unconditional support to the government. However, the cunning intentions behind it couldn't be masked.       

Nevertheless, A K emerged as a superhero on the horizon of Indian politics. A new, yet unbelievable chapter in the history was written.  Perhaps, it was the first time in the history of Indian democracy, when the common (Non - political) men were able to defeat those leaders who were established names in politics. A K responded quite humbly and defined it as the power of a common man.

A K started his explosive inning with his unexpected and unpredictable moves and made several announcements in order to keep his promises made in his election manifesto. Some of the remarkable benchmarks of A K's A A P govt. are worth mentioning here which made his opponents sleepless and speechless. 

1.   700 liter free water announced for those having regular water connection.

2.   50% subsidy on electricity for those having consumption up to 400 units.

3.   Helpline to report power cuts.

4.   Anti-corruption helpline launched.

5.   Nursery admission helpline announced.

6.   Infrastructure audit of govt. schools started.

7.   Promised quota for Delhi students in DU.

8.   Misuse of red beacons banned.

9.   All the govt. and private hospitals directed to provide "Free & Immediate" treatment to the        victims of acid attacks or rape.

10. Abandoned buses to be used as night shelters for homeless in Delhi. A novel A K idea.

11. Launched a website to manage public utility complaints "www.aapconnect.com"

Arvind Kejriwal

The journey was not so smooth, as the growing challenges kept on chasing A K day to day. He was not a practicing politician but, his practices in politics were quite unpredictable and beyond comprehension for almost all practicing politicians, psephologists and media as well. On all such moves of A K when media and other political parties were busy in satirizing him, A K was busy in concocting another new interpretation of politics. It was never expected that a Chief Minister may sit on Dharna, that too in his own state. A K did so, people called him anarchist whether, he was able to prove that the law and order at Delhi is not under control of Delhi Government. Rather, it is Central Government who is responsible for any such performances of Delhi Police.

Issues raised by A K are daring and provocative. They are pragmatic about the established current political system. There may be difference of opinion among intellectuals about the action and approach  of A K how he executes or deals with the issue. But, his commitment towards the sanctity of Indian politics is quite ponderable. It's not just an escape as the opposition is saying on tendering his resignation after being failed to table the "Jan Lokpal Bill" in the assembly. Though the Government was carried for 49 days only. But, those are the solemn and historic "A K 49" days of Indian politics. They are alarming "A K 49" days of Indian politics too. Every day, in those  precious "A K 49" days there was a message for everyone.

"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A COMMON MAN"
