Letter to Shri.Arwind Kejriwal!

Dear Sir congrats.

What you have done is bolywoodish. Taking on the mightiest of the mighty head on, and bringing them to their knees is really really impressive stuff. This indeed is a historic moment for the country. A time to celebrate. A time which will restructure history of this country for the next 50 years!

When you defied all odds and got public donations through legal banking means, I knew you meant business! And when you came out openly apologizing gracefully for the mistake of resigning last time, I prayed you get one more chance. 

Sir let us get straight to business. Let us be graceful in victory. Let there not be a public showing of humility. Let there not be many dharnas, though I defend your right to sit on a dharna. Let us govern this time. Let us show the world, what can be done when good people enter politics.

I hope you know the victory is just the first step. Not many political parties in this country have done good for this country. Not many politicians have kept to their word. Not many, no, not any, have stuck to all of their promises. Let us focus on that. Focus on the manifesto. Focus on the promised government schools and hospitals. Focus on reducing corruption. Proper governance will make sure you win next time. Not mere promises.Not mere words. 

Sir, let me not lecture you on governance. But I will just close with Lord Acton's dictum

         "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" 

and so please be on your toes. Anything untoward, crush them mercilessly. And of course those people will have other parties. Never mind sending out people who you think are even slightly misbehaving. AAP without them is better. We have seen it happen in Shazia Ilmi and Kiran Bedi.

And of course, congratulations to the selfless volunteers; the backbone behind the movement.

Godspeed
