By launching the political party, Arvind Kejriwal has done our country a big favour. When Anna, who was the face of this movement against corruption, backed out of the idea to provide a political alternative to the country, many people like me were frustrated. Frustration of the people stemmed from the fact that all the present political parties are corrupt, and they don't want laws like Jan Lokpal Bill to be passed. This practically means, that poor people of this country will keep suffering for another 3-4 decades, when another Anna or Kejriwal will come on the scene.
But in this fast paced word people cannot wait for that long. Sensing this feeling of the people, the Kejriwal and his friends took a very courageous decision to launch a political party. I have heard certain, people talk negatively about this new set up. They say that it is very difficult to fight elections without black money, and they will have to resort to the same means to which they are opposed right now. To these people, I simply say that if these people can remain honest till now, why we can't hope that they will remain honest in future.
The least we can expect from this party are: 1. honesty, 2. people with criminal records will not be given tickets, 3. efficiency in administration and 4. no division of society on the basis of caste, religion and region. If these four things are achieved, then all our problems can easily be tackled. If this party achieves high standards, then others will have to raise their standard also. This will be good for our country.
So, if you are a Congress or BJP loyalist, open up your mind, think again and vote for this new party in the next elections. If you don't do so, you may have to repent later for letting this God sent opportunity go waste. Good luck to Kejriwal & Co.
