Delhi elections were blown out of proportion.Why BJP took this as of prestige,I don't understand.In fact the post of CM is a mere name sake,he has no powers to even sanction a school,fore which he has to take permission from the Lt.Governor,Police and all arecontrolled by Central government ,So Kejhriwal will wage Kejhri war agsint Modi government and the same dharna,street fight and shouts will continue.Delhites will get their taste for having elected AAP.

I agree.A city corporation like election was blown up beyond proportion.In fact it was agreat blunder a special status to Delhi by amending constitution in 1991.Dehlhi is a national capital of a national GOVT,its people are fed by all the states of the country,it should have under total control of Union govt.Idea of having a Chief Minister and assembly is reduculious.It is an extra burden on the national exchequer just to accommodate a few politicians.

Meera Sanyal is doing what most winners would do - pontificate on the reasons for their victory. All these reasons are self back patting ones. The fact I think if one were to go by the number of votes gathered by the different parties, it would be clear that Aap "collected" all the non-BJP votes. It is therfore winning by default. And what nonsense talking of the Gr8 Job done in 49 days. Meera Sanyal respectable lady that she is, is reading all the wrong things to explain the Aap win. Now as someone said - let us wait and watch. From where these IRS and IAS officers will get funds to give free this and free that? How did they at all pass IAS/IRS? Yes the logic maybe the power companies make huge profit. Please check the varioius components of any power/energy bill. A significant portion of it is Government taxes. What is Aap going to do w

My above message was truncated I dont know how. Anyway the last point was I would personally welcome Aap in Mumbai for only 1 reason - tackling corruption. All the rest Aap talks about is just childish. The present Mumbai representatives should get a big 0.

Meera Snyal has collected millions and millions of dollars before she quit her top bank job. She can say anyting becasue she has non concept of the Aam Aadmi sham.
"it is that the country is ready for inclusive, bipartisan politics, not based on caste, community and religion, but based on issues of a modern India."
Unfortunately Delhi election proves a point in the reverse direction.
1) Just few weeks before elections few churches were vandalized. Similar things happened in Karnataka
Vandalize churches --> Throw mud on BJP --> Do dhranas against BJP --> Win elections
2. Isn't AAP declared Batla house encounter as illegal. Several inquiry commissions have categorically told that there were terrorists living in that house and honest police officer was killed.
3. Mid night money transfers from dubious companies.
4. BJP made several mistakes (lack of poll preperation, Bediji's candidature) that does not mean AAP is clean.
5. BJP vote share has not really gone down. It is the congress vote bank that shifted to AAP.
with very large loads of egg on their faces when the Delhi election results came out.
And Kiran Bedi is not one among them.
The first big egg man is Narendra Modi, the man who wore his lungs out in the streets of Delhi braying out about the inevitable need for his party in Delhi and about the alleged development he has been bringing to places.
The second egg man - and with much more egg - is Amit Shah, the man who believed he had become a modern day Chanakya (he would surely have lost that belief now, if he has common sense in adequate measure).
But the person who really has ended up with the biggest load of egg anyone can ever have on the face is undoubtedly, Mr Mohan Bhagwat ! This man really believed (and perhaps continues to believe, given how one dimensional the brains of communal bigots are) that commoners will always respond to the call of bigotry, whatever or however much the exploitation they suffer under the cloak of religious identities are. This man and the large umbrella of bigoted organisations he heads believe that the commoner can be made to forget all his other identities and focus only on one identity - his religious identity. This man is trained to think that the commoner from the lower classes can be made to forget all about his travails arising from his low class and respond to efforts at communal polarization.
Mr. Bhagwat set more than one lakh of his men going from house to house in Delhi to appeal for hyndu votes!
Sir, AAP supremo is a bureaucrat and IRS officer as I have seen as a Govt. employee can not do good for Amm Adami. An IRS officer can raise objection for all good doing without any development and so will be with APP. Blind faith is not good thing. I could not understand why center govt. should cooperate when they have not made tall promises. It is Mr.bureaucrat who had made promises and he should generate resources himself for welfare scheme and not beg like beggar. Other states are generating their own resources themselves and not looking towards centre Govt. AAP should not blame BJP for every thing.

Your comment that an IRS officer can only raise objections is factually incorrect. It may apply to the Audit dept, but certainly not the IRS. An IRS officer has to excel in the UPSC exam at the entry level, competing with lakhs of candidates. After selection, he has to undergo rigorous training for 2 years before field posting. He has to study complicated taxation laws, accountancy and management science: also general law and govt administration. He has to pass all departmental exams before being confirmed in service. His basic duty is to administer taxation laws in a fair manner, and to collect revenue for the govt, for all development work. His job is subjected to constant administrative and judicial reviews, and also audit. He has to be a jack of all trades, and master of a few. It is a most exacting job. Please appreciate this. I am stating this with authenticity, as I am a retired IRS officer, having served all over the country, and even abroad.

Thank you for your appreciation of the facts. I cannot comment on personal attributes of Kejriwal, since he never worked with me: he was mostly posted in Delhi, whereas I was elsewhere at that time. But I gathered from my colleagues in Delhi that he has a reputation of being an honest officer while he was in service. Moreover filing cases against tax evaders is not the only criterion for judging the performance of an IRS officer. More important is being fair and reasonable, and honesty and sincerity to the organization, and to the nation at large. I made my statements on the functioning of the IRS.
