flopper, yet, look every debate, they speak in their turn and also dominate when others turn come with same old statements and totally shamelessly unconnected to real issues and questions of debate.
Game spoilers.

Rotten News
by A on Jan 06, 2014 06:35 AM

Why this rotten news again surfaces on the dash board? Let the Antinational Peoples Party oust the supporters of Kashmiri separatists from its membership. Then talk about freebies etc. After all you are not giving away from your pocket. Ultimately the burden will fall on the taxpayer. Do you think we are beggars? Don't we have self respect. We want to work and earn our livelihood. Give us job opportunity if you can. We do not want to live on subsidy.

AAP THINK BETTER
by rajeev s on Jan 05, 2014 10:22 PM

dear kejriwal please don't follow the same principle that you did in delhi at the centre. the people of delhi are less concerned where you actually live(be it 10 or 50 rooms).They are more concerned what you do for them and the issue of corruption rather than on petty isues like the place where you live (you have made it a very big issue as you now have no other major things to do for a large part of your 5 year term(out of coalition compulsions which you may call by some other name as you wish so)to do for them .I am sure you will do everything that you posibly can so that you never loose pwer now. you have started enjoying power slowly.the people of delhi had voted for a change but i feel the AAP are too immature even to run a state at the present moment.i am astonished that they have opted to go at the center at this time.the correct time was the next general election where on the basis of their proven track record they could have captured 80% of the votes throughout the country. i feel each and every person would have voted for AAP as they are fed up with corruption. but i feel AAP has no vision of their own and are now trying yo recruit CEO's and other VIP's just to make sure that they have the donations from them in huge amounts for the party.feel they have got everything wrong right now.they seem to be more like ordinary people like me or you who could fall into such greed like money or power.

Question to AAP supporters
by NEELAKANTAN R on Jan 05, 2014 09:21 PM

Natural resources are fixed and the consumption is going up every year. Hence cost identifying additional sources and taking it teh public also cost more. What was your salary five years back and what is your salary today. Why you wanted an increase when there are people who live with half of your salary. Still you want every thing to be given at cheap rate. will it naturally possible. Think, just mindless and blind support of some follish promise by some body you accepted it and now crying for the non fulfillment. There should be some logic.

Delhi vote is for Subsidies or against corruption or MODI Ji
by Satyanarayana Guda on Dec 31, 2013 12:10 PM

Can any Delhi Voter Say: Dear Delhi voter Did you vote AAP for SUBSIDIES or against corruption or both or for clean governance. Many of us believed that Delhi voted against corruption and for clean governance. But it is slowly panning out that Delhi voted for populism, subsidies and somehow to stop Modi ji than to get Good Governance and Good Government. The enthusiasm of voters that voters are against corruption is slowly but surely vanishing into thin air.

AAP promised to deliver free water daily to all families..
by Kanu Singh on Dec 31, 2013 11:30 AM  | Hide replies

Their was no talk of conditions like meter or pipe connection, only promise was 700 litres water delivered free to each family everyday. Calculating use or infrastructure is not headache of public.

If its merely about playing with words, then any Politician can promise free unlimited water to everyone. After winning election the Politician can say, OK! now everyone, meet me with your buckets next to the nearest river and take as much water as you like.

Anyway just to be nice, for short term solution to keep their promise, they can put water meters on water tankers and go around distributing 700 litres water free to all families. Also poor people without water connections, who voted for them, most of them were expecting solution like this only.
……………………………..

Long term economically sustainable solution might be, put some free community water taps within every square kilometre of city, so poor, disadvantaged or people living in illegal houses can use them for free.

Also to save water, community taps should have mechanism to automatically close after running for few minutes.

One of my experience of Delhi was, even after walking for kilometres, their was no community tap anywhere. Only drinking water was available with carts, selling water for few Rupees a glass.

The carts display picture of iced water and make the moneyless feel, ‘How mean City is this?, at least in my City, temples or parks in name of

With essential service like Water, sustainable economic model is, charge fees to direct home delivery customers for better quality of service, and use some profits to make sure, people who cannot afford to pay for Water, don’t die with thirst.

Always keep service little bit inconvenient and hard for free customers, so they have temptation and motivation to seek better quality of service and become fee paying customers.

In some case like illegal buildings, even if customer is ready to pay, Government may
not be able to provide a legal water connection to home, as it might legally imply that, Government accept their claim of property ownership.

What we the Voters want in 2014
by Satyanarayana Guda on Dec 31, 2013 10:14 AM

REMEMBER LATE YSR WAS KING OF SUBSIDIES/FREEBIES. HE WAS ALSO SAMRAT OF C ORRUPTION. HIS OWN PARTY PRUNED EVERY SUBSIDY SCHEME OF LATE YSR> MAY BE DELHI HAS SURPLUS OF FEW THOUSAND CRORES TO FUND AAP POLL PROMISES AND MIGHT BRING DIVIDENDDS IN 2014 TO AAP. BUT IT MUST NOT END UP AT THE COST OF EXCHEQUER, THAT IS SLOW PO ISION THAT VOTERS REALISIE IT ONLY IN 2019 AFTER AAP enjoys ruling Delihi till2019. AAP is the best if TRUTH IS THAT AAP HAS NO SECRET DEAL WITH CONGRESS, ITS PRIORITY IS NOT STOPPING MODI TO BRING IN THIRD FRONT OR CONGRESS. BUT IN REALITY IT PANS OUT THAT AAP'S AIM IS TO STOP MODI AT ANY COST. THEN CONGRESS IS PLAYING NEGETIVE POLITICS WHICH MEANS STOP MODI IN ANY WHICH WAY IT CAN> THEN< CONGRESS HAS ALREADY FINISHED TWO TERMS AND WRITING ON THE WALL IS THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT VOTE CONGRESS. THUS CONGRESS HAS NOTHING TO LOOSE. SIMILARLY THIRD HAS NOTHING TO LOSE SINCE THIRD FRONT WAS ONLY MIRAGE TILL YESTERDAY.THEN BJP/NDA IS OUT OF POWER FOR TWO TERMS.LOSING THIRDTERM MEANS lose EVERY THING. SO CONGRESS IS PLAYING NEGATIVE POLITICS ON THE SHOULDERS OF AAP AND AAP IS WILLINGLY ACCEPTING THIS SINCE IT GIVES AAP A CHANCE TO RULE INDIA. SO NOW 2014 WILL PROVE IS INDIAN VOTER IS WISE TO ACCEPT CONGRESS NEGATIVE POLITICS, AAP'S STRATEGY OF OFFERING ITS SHOULDERS TO CONGRESS to NULLIFY MODI AND BJP FOR EVER OR UNKNOWINGLY HELPING DY NASTY DEMOCRACY at NATIONAL LEVEL a PERMANENT FEATURE OF INDIAN DEMOCRACY OR INDIAN VOTER IF HERE FOR EXPERIMENTATION< Ki CK
