The Janta Durbar
Author: A.K. Srivastava
The chaos in The Janta Durbar 
was expected but it was not envisaged by the inexperienced government of Kejriwal.The Delhi CM is in hurry to deliver everything in a short time as he has to plunge into National Election which is at the corner.
Arvind Kejriwal and co. mastered the art of street agitation under the able leadership of Anna and under his constant supervision. Anna has seen the world and graduated to this level after gaining experience from step to step,became seasoned. But Kejriwal abandoned him and plunged into politics despite his negative advise. Kejriwal was either provoked by people like Digvijaya Singh or at their behest. Within a short time, electioneering started and he started on the pattern of street agitation. He made all tall promises to the people and caught the imagination of the people. People were oppressed by the 10 yrs.of misgovernance, steep price rise, bad law and order situation in Delhi. The result was, no doubt spectacular for AAP. They were forced to form minority government.
All political leaders of BJP and Congress challenged him as to how he fulfills tall promises. Kejriwal also took the challenge seriously and within two days passed orders on free supply of water and 50% subsidy on electricity. Well and good. How the orders of government percolate down to people have to be seen in due course and what percentage of population are going to benefited needs detailed calculations.
Now, he misadventures to solve all the problems of all the people in Delhi was bothering them for so long. One complainant who happened have worked for Delhi government some 10 yrs. back had not received the payment of Rs.7000/-. There were many such pending problems which required tackling. Kejriwal invited whole of Delhi on one day in his zeal to solve them all by one stroke of pen.
Kejriwal and his cabinet did not sit down calmly to envisage all kinds of problems. He needed ample time to reflect on varied problems and comartmentlise those problems. Fortunately, Delhi is not a new State and the various institutions exists on the ground and he was not supposed to build them. However,he was supposed to utilise those institutions. The problems could have been departmentalized on various layer of administrations and should have started sorting them out from the lowest level and allowing his officers the power and time to deal with them and only cryonic problems would have reached the level of Ministers and Chief Minister. It would have much easier to find solutions. But Kejriwal Government have no time and are in hurry to deliver. The natural result was mess and complete chaos. He forgot, no tree will bear fruits in hurry unless the stipulated time to bear the time arrives. Democracy gives ample time to the government to deliver. The ambition to plunge into National Scene coupled with their inexperience to governance is forcing them to fail in performance. Anna Hazare rightly advised Arvind Kejriwal to concentrate in Delhi and not venture for Parliamentary election was a right advise but too much of ambitions force them not to pay heed to Anna. Kejriwal is indulging into mobocracy and populism.

This blog shows the maturity and experience of the author. Kejriwal better take advice from such seniors. With Janata Durabars, he can not afford to create a jungle raj. This is democracy. Well established norms can not given a go by for the individual fancies of an ambitious young man who wants to gulp the ocean in one stroke like sages of yore.
Well Said Sir. Welcome to Yugvani. Anyways #AAP not in terms with the reality and only creating a ruckus. Will get wiped out soon. Modi ji & BJP Ki Jai Ho.
AAP’s runaway success mission on populist measures is going to be short lived.Governance needs pateince and time frame which are both missing in their actions.
Yes I agree. It is all media hype. Will die down soon.
