Prajatantra Vs Rajashahi :: Arvind Kejriwal Vs Narendra Modi
By Mukul Sinha 29 Dec 13 (http://www.truthofgujarat.com/prajatantra-vs-rajashahi-arvind-kejriwal-vs-narendra-modi/)
Scene (1): One elected Chief Minister arrives in a Metro rail without any guards trailing him. Lakhs of people spontaneously gather at Ramleela maidan to cheer their own leader who takes his oath in the name of the people. The massive celebration is organized with virtually no expenditure..
Scene (2): A Prime Ministerial candidate arrives in a helicopter in Mumbai and lands in the University campus, in violation of the orders of the Vice Chancellor, surrounded by 108 gun totting black cats. Eleven special trains and hundreds of bus brings few lakhs cheer-leaders to the venue for whom five lakh food packets had been prepared to supply them sufficient energy to hail their Hitler. The magnum show costs the promoters of the party in excess of 25 crores..
Since 1947, people of India have been thirsting to see the scene described in Scene (1); for 66 years however the feudal-capital nexus has promoted the autocratic culture of performing raj-abhisheks that over-awes the common masses and profiles the leader as a "King". Let us salute Kejriwal and his team for at least conjuring the image of a Republic that we had forgotten!
For the last four years, a national conspiracy is being hatched to foist a corporate sponsored stooge as the leader of the country. The task had become rather easy after the Congress led UPA exposed their corrupt underbelly and went into a free fall. In this vacuum, BJP funded by the corporate houses could trumpet their chosen leader who could satisfy the demands of both the domestic as well as global corporates. In absence of any other visible alternative, the juggernaut of the right wingers was dangerously moving towards Delhi. But suddenly Delhi itself has given them the biggest jolt.
The sudden metamorphosis that we see in the politics of Delhi is indeed miraculous. The subjective factors had ripened to the extent where the people were willing to risk a completely untested political outfit than surrender to BJP or Congress. More than the concerted efforts of Kejriwal and his team, it is the collective consciousness of the Delhites that has led to this unusual upheaval.
We at TruthOfGujarat believe that this is the first awakening towards a genuine Prajatantra (Democracy) within ofcourse the bourgeois frame work. We got our freedom at the stroke of the midnight hour but we now have a Republic in broad daylight – let us rejoice this day in the defense of democracy.
