Split of Anna and Arvind Kejriwal - Good or Bad?


Actually what happened is perfect! Anna was never willing to be part of political party (he said that in Jantar mantar too). Anna-Arvind, not having each other are little weak but they will regain power in few days of Hardwork. If Anna had joined politics there were sure new Lalu/Sharad Yadav out of the poltics the way it happened with JP movement. Thats the way Anna himself expressed it. And it shows he learn from history. Anna and few key members of IAC not aligned with electoral political party, will ensure long life of "India Against Corruption" movement. Corrupt politicians will still hate Anna and his close associates,(which is a good thing :) and fear them. Even I am sure, Arvind's every move will be judged by current set of IAC people. Which is again a good thing for nation. One most powerful and simplest target of Anna ji is to make 90% people vote. If he achieves that then realization of those beautiful dreams are not far.


Arvind has chosen a far more difficult path. His move will strengthen youth's belief in democracy. As democracy is painfully slow form of governance, and patience is a virtue, youth does not possess, he and his supporters are going to face tough time. If they stay in right path, they will gradually earn support. I often heard co-workers of Arvind accuse him of being egoistic. Arvind and all his friends actively pursuing idea of ideal political party will soon realize that "ego" is something which won't let the an inch of success in this path. Arvind's move will also strengthen and will bring those "few good men" of indian politics in limelight which loose due to laziness/unawareness of youth in india (likes of Loksatta of JP, Arun Bhatia, Meera Sanyal, Capt. Gopinath, etc.)

I hope Arvind won't use "IAC" name in his new political party, He was one of the core member who built IAC and gave idea of Janlokpal, but even if it is painful, he should abandon it completely. As IAC belongs to millions of activist of India and not only Arvind anymore.

I feel influence of Anna will make 90% people get their Voter ID card ready, and Arvind if he trade carefully and find good candidates, will make those 90% stand in queue to vote for those good men.

Amen!!!
