Kejri-Walled by Anna

Okay so we all know Anna-Kejriwal have parted their way on the issue of forming Political Party. While watching the news I was wondering why Anna is so opposed to form a political party. Suddenly my mom who was also watching news said “Accha hua Anna Politics main Nahin Gaye…Politics main to saare Chor Ucchake jaate hai”. My mom candid take on issue made things clear to me. I guess even for Anna politics is for Crooks and Thugs and he doesn’t want to malign himself by getting into political slugfest and same is true for lot of supporters of Anna (including my Mom).

But in my opinion by not going political Anna is creating a Catch-22 situation where he is demanding Jan-Lokpal from Corrupt Politicians to curb Corruption :O Now we all know that the only thing which can make Ruling party's Politician think of enacting something like Lokpal Bill is when they will find that failure to enact Lokpal Bill will heavily dent their chance to win next election. How this will happen? Either Anna has to support an Opposition Party which commits Anna to give his Lokpal Bill when they come to power or Anna himself forms a party. The former option can backfire for Anna as it may happen that after winning election the Party tells Anna the same story Congress told him in first place “Let Parliament debate/decides on Lokpal ”. So the only logical option available for Anna is to create a party. Even if Anna’s party is unable to win any seat of own all political parties will look forward to get Anna onboard to tilt battle in their favor and in Seats where a political party feels there is 50-50 chance then they can support Anna’s Party candidate to fight election. All in all Anna’s party can become a formidable political force which can use its new found power to push Lokpal bill and in long term may be they can become a better alternate for public which is done with BJP and Congress both.

As Anna doesn’t want to get into political turmoil his able lieutenant Mr. Kejriwal has jumped into the fray. But we all know Mr. Kejriwal is not Anna. The problem lies here. In today’s Cynical India we see everybody with doubt. Same goes with Mr. Kejriwal and due to this cynicism all kind of accusation such as brain washing Anna, Using Anna, Jeopardizing Anna health etc are leveled against him as an aftermath of the split. Even Anna asked Kejrwal to not use his credentials going forward. So hereafter Kejriwal is on his own in the Political Battlefield. I am not sure how will he fare but guess do or die time has come for Kejriwal. I can wish him best of luck as this is the only logical step he could have taken going forward.
