Ashutosh's Mein Kejriwal

Ashutosh- a Hindi journalist who thinks Modi is Hitler and 'Hindutva' means ethnic cleansing of minorities of all descriptions- has now realized that Kejriwal is just as bad as Modi. It turns out that sly bastard, whom Ashutosh had met and trusted, was actually a Hindu! The man can recite Hanuman Chalisa! This shows he is very evil and will turn into Hitler just as Modi turned into Hitler. Trillions of Muslims have been killed by Modi Sarkar. Kejriwal will not fail to kill gazillions of Muslims because he is now taking name of Lord Ganesh! This is terrible sin against Holy Ambedkarji's Constitution. Even Viceroy Dyer was not taking name of Lord Ganesh when mercilessly slaughtering quadrillions of Muslims! All is fault of diabolical neo-liberalism which is very wicked and totally lacking in niceness. 

Ashutosh writes: This is not the Arvind Kejriwal I knew

When I first met him, Mein Kejriwal was an elderly Muslim lady wearing burqa and piteously protesting against CAA in Shaheen Bagh. I now realize that cunning fellow was not doing namaz and keeping roza properly. Evidence is clear. The fellow is now mentioning Hindu deities! Would a decent Muslim woman do any such thing? No! Of course not! It is well known that Hindus are very evil and will kill minorities if they become CM or PM. Yet, now Kejriwal has come out as Hindu, this is bound to happen.  

By taking the Lakshmi-Ganesh route to power, Arvind Kejriwal has betrayed the promise and hope the AAP once held out

It was supposed to be an anti-corruption party. Then demonetization happened and people decided that corruption wasn't so bad. Complain about things loudly enough and your life can become much shittier than you thought possible.  

Kejriwal has a fatal flaw. He wants to win at any cost.

He should want to be a big fat loser like Ashutosh. Why is he trying to win elections? Why not write a shitty book interested?  

I felt very proud when I joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in January 2014.

Why? Kejriwal had already broken with Anna Hazare and allied with Congress to grab the CM seat.  It was obvious that the man was an opportunist. 

Today, I feel relieved that I am no longer with them.

Ashutosh didn't get the Rajya Sabha ticket he was after. It went to not one but two moneyed Guptas. Ashutosh, also a Gupta, says AAP was trying to make him use his caste surname so as to get votes. The truth is even more horrible than he has suggested. One day as Ashutosh was just quietly walking down the road wearing burqa and chanting nice Revolutionary Islamic verses, some AAP hoodlums turned up and demanded that he stand for election as a Hindu man! In all his years of journalism and activism no one had ever assumed Ashutosh was a man- let alone a Hindu man. Yet, because of Kejriwal's intrigue and opportunism, suddenly Indian politics has become gendered and communal. Did anybody ever ask Pundit Nehru his caste or gender? No! Voters assumed Nehru was a sweet Chinese girl just as Lord Mountbatten was an elderly Zulu lady.  

The AAP then was seen

by sweet Chinese lasses- like Assurredlytosh

as a revolutionary force that claimed to be in politics not to play politics but to change politics.

 Very true. Politics would be changed so that Ashutosh could become a sweet Chinese girl living happily in Canada with her pet Panda bear. 

Today, it is difficult to believe that it is the same party. The AAP has changed beyond recognition. The party proudly said it did not choose candidates on the basis of caste, religion, region, gender or language in the 2013 Delhi assembly elections.

It chose sweet Chinese girls or their pet Panda bears.  

Integrity, honesty and good character were the only qualities for the selection of the candidates, the party had said. Before giving tickets, a thorough background check of the prospective candidate was done and a minor blemish was enough to disqualify a person.

In 2015, one third of AAP legislators had criminal cases against them. That's why AAP won.  

It was a breath of fresh air in Indian politics, which had been a hotbed of corrupt practices. The AAP fielded individuals like Rajmohan Gandhi, Anand Kumar and Medha Patekar as candidates in the 2014 general election.

They all broke with Kejriwal soon enough unless they had already been forgotten and so nobody would have noticed.  

It did not talk about religion or gods and goddesses to garner votes.

It talked bollocks to garner votes.  

The AAP carefully chalked out a programme of welfare measures for the downtrodden and marginalised — education, health, free electricity and supply of clean water at a subsidised rate were central to that model of governance.

Kejriwal showed he was a smart businessman. The electricity subsidy has become optional but he has secured voter goodwill.  

But today, Arvind Kejriwal does not lose an opportunity to woo Hindu voters by appealing to their religious sensibilities.

How very wicked of him! Surely, as a god fearing Chinese Muslim girl, he should be appealing to Hindu voters' atheistic sentiments?  

The latest demand by Kejriwal that the Modi government should put the images of Laxmi and Ganesh on the rupee notes if it wants the Indian economy to get better, is a perversion in its pursuit to win an election.

It is a masterstroke. Kejriwal is reminding us that he is a Bania- he understands business. It is plausible that the 'animal spirits' of the pious Bania class increases as the count notes with Hindu images. That's good for the economy.  

This perversion showed its glimpses during the 2015 assembly elections in Delhi when Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav had raised the issue of certain candidates whose past was not as clean as expected being fielded by the party. Both of them were expelled from the party soon after the AAP won a historic mandate.

But Yadav and Bhushan are now known to be useless windbags. Kejriwal is a winner, not a whiner.  

The slide that started then had alarmed many senior AAP leaders but they kept quiet. The loss in the Punjab assembly elections in 2017, followed by the rout in the MCD elections, were the final tipping point. Since then, the AAP has not looked back. The AAP has given tickets to wealthy individuals with shady pasts who had no connection with the party and has been accused of selling tickets for the Rajya Sabha, Lok Sabha and assembly elections in different states. The party has never given a satisfactory explanation to why it deviated from its chosen path.

To win. D'uh! Does this Indian journalist really not understand how Indian politics works?  

Once Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister and Hindutva became the dominant formula to win elections, AAP was in a fix and wondering if it wanted to tread the same path. Kejriwal has a fatal flaw. He wants to win at any cost.

Which is why he wins. That's all that matters. Elections are a competitive sport. There are no prizes for coming last.  

After the bad loss in Punjab in 2017, where he took his victory for granted, he did not want to take any chances in the 2020 Delhi assembly election. So, he sold himself to Hindutva.

Previously, he was a nice Chinese Muslim girl who was living happily with her pet Panda in Canada. Lust for electoral victory caused him to sell himself to Hindutva which changed his gender and his religion and made him take up residence in India.  

To ensure his victory, he not only hired the services of Prashant Kishor

which is what smart politicians in India tend to do 

but also recited Hanuman Chalisa.

Instead of Mao's little Red Book! Would Nehru have committed such an atrocity?  

He called himself a “Hanuman bhakt” and invited a TV crew when he visited the Hanuman temple in Connaught Place.

A man with a name like Arvind Kejriwal must be a sweet Chinese Muslim girl. It is beyond all reason that he should be 'Hanuman bhakt'. Also there is no Hanuman temple in Connaught Ontario. Kejriwal lives in Canada, not Delhi.  

He and the AAP did not utter a word on the issue of CAA and the Shaheen Bagh movement.

Because Kejriwal isn't against non-Muslim refugees from Islamic terror getting citizenship.  

When riots took place in North East Delhi, he did not visit the area,

because he doesn't like Muslims who kill Hindus 

nor did his government honestly carry out the rehabilitation programme for the riot victims as he did not want to be accused of indulging in “Muslim appeasement”.

It is more likely that he just didn't like Muslims who killed Hindus. Many Hindus do have that reprehensible prejudice for some unknown reason.  

The AAP’s stupendous victory in Delhi in 2020 was the last nail in the coffin of the “original” AAP, the revolutionary party.

Congress and the Left was wiped out. The BJP wasn't wiped out completely. It needed to up its game. Kejriwal aint stupid.  

After winning Punjab, Gujarat is Kejriwal’s next target, which is the original laboratory of Hindutva.

It turns out Muslims killing Hindus is not popular with Hindus. They get behind the Hindu who punishes the aggressors.  

It started well in this endeavour in the local bodies’ elections, especially in Surat and Gandhinagar. With very smart manipulation of the media space and through a visible campaign, the AAP emerged as the third force in Gujarat. Kejriwal started visiting the state every week. A buzz was created on the ground and it was debated loudly if the AAP could replace the Congress as the main opposition to the BJP. But two incidents rattled his confidence. First, the AAP state convener, Gopal Italia, spoke ill about Modi and asked women not to go to temples as that could be unsafe.

That's an old video. Still, Kejriwal had better get rid of him. Anyway, the fellow is bound to lose in the election.

Second, video clips of AAP minister Rajendra Pal Gautam saying at a Buddhist ceremony that he won’t worship Hindu gods. To minimise the damage, Kejriwal

got the fellow to resign and then 

took the Laxmi-Ganesh route. In one of his rallies, he was seen chanting Jai Shri Ram — a war cry of the BJP and Sangh Parivar invented during the Ram Mandir movement. He also said he was born on Janmashtami (the day of Lord Krishna’s birth) to annihilate the sons of Kansa.

Which cancels Italia's blooper about Lord Krishna being a demon. Gujarati voters are smart. They get that Italia is a hot head whom Kejriwal will get rid off. The big question is whether they will be enticed by Kejriwal's 'freebies'.  

I am not sure if his exhortation to Hindu deities will fetch votes.

I think the fact that Arvind is a smart, ambitious, bania who understand money is what will fetch votes.  

But this certainly proves that he is not the same Arvind Kejriwal I knew, who used to talk about cleaning Indian politics of all its ills.

This suggests Ashutosh is a shit judge of character as well as a shit politician. Had he stuck with Kejriwal he'd have got something rather than nothing.  

His conversion to Hindutva can be seen by a few as trying to snatch from Modi the winning formula. But what needs thought is why a “party of hope” could not resist being appropriated by politics and why it has taken the dangerous route of mixing religion with politics.

It is a safe route. The Mahatma took it. Kejriwal's innovation is his 'common man' persona as an urban petty clerk or kirana shopkeeper.  

Winning and losing elections is a part of the democratic process but the demise of the hope the AAP represented is tragic.

To Ashutosh. He is crying too much. Wifey is saying 'kyoun ji? Itne kyoun ro rahe ho?' and he is replying 'Arvind used to be nice Chinese Muslim girl living in Canada. Now he has become a Hindu! All hope is dead. Viceroyji should take action!'  

Kejriwal and his party might do well in the elections, but the injury they are inflicting on the body-politic and constitutional democracy will leave a permanent scar.

because 'body-politic' can't tolerate Hindus being Hindus. Constitutional democracy will have very big appendix scar unless Kejriwal turns into nice Chinese girl and goes to live in Canada with her Panda bear.
