Old principle at Tennis events: The ball-boys are most efficient when they
aren’t seen at all.
Try explaining this as best as you can:
“Where competition is possible govt must
privatise, where only monopoly is possible we should avoid privatisation”.
That’s a loose translation of what Arvind
Kejriwal said in his speech in Hindi to CII on February 17, 2014. That
statement went over the heads of the educated audience at CII. It also went
over the heads of media morons. Rajdeep
Sardesai quoted this statement with a clip on his show on the same night
and asked his panellists to comment on it. None bothered to examine the
stupidity of this statement. Seriously, is there any business or industry that
can be inherently “monopolistic” by nature? Monopoly is imposed by the govt or
illegitimate practices of a business house or a group. It speaks poorly of the
business community at CII that they need a special event and a speech to
discover any economic vision of AK. Blunt fact is he doesn’t have any. Let’s sample
some mundane crap from AK in
his speech:
"We are not
against capitalism; we're against crony capitalism... It's a wrong perception
that AAP is against business. Of course we need businesses," Mr Kejriwal
attempted to explain what his political vision, popularly called "Aapnomics"
is, and why corporate India should not be running scared of his party despite
several decisions that his government took in its 49 days in power in Delhi…
During his brief term as Chief Minister, Mr Kejriwal increased subsidies for
power and water. His cabinet overturned the previous government's decision on
FDI in retail... "The government has no business to be in business, it
should be left with the private players. License and inspector raj has to
end... A small section of industrialists who are not industrialists but are
looting the country" he said.
NDTV grandly says AK’s “political
vision” is popularly called “Aapnomics”. Really? First of all, nobody is
commonly using a term like Aapnomics (except probably Barkha Dutt and her seven
white dwarfs at NDTV). And why is a “political vision” associated with some
term that should represent economics? Govt shouldn’t be in business? That sort
of mundane statement uttered by many a politician is AK’s new economic vision
for India? This is how not just AK but the media also fools people. It doesn’t
matter that AK doesn’t know economics
from an Eskimo Igloo but our media charlatans will tell you that they saw
vision in his speech. At the end of it Adi
Godrej is reported to have said “"It is very
important that we fight corruption, reduce corruption. But it is also very
important that we have a good economic policy that creates development and jobs
in the country. And I think the Aam Aadmi Party should improve their views in
that direction".
But Godrej is stating an optimistic
view. It should now be evident to any observer that AK and AAP are neither
interested in politics nor in eliminating corruption. The whole drama is
scripted to perfection, including AK’s resignation on February 14. His street
dharna as a CM is clearly the most disgusting conduct by a man in power. His desire
for instant justice, with cronies like Somnath Bharti, doesn’t reflect any
great belief in democracy or processes. In short, other than being a Congress
puppet to garner votes to keep the BJP out there is nothing in his armoury that
can be seen as vision. Add to all this his frequent U-turns and lies and you
have a motley crew of people who just want power to satisfy their lust and
nothing more. Remember, the CPM has rarely had any allegation of corruption
against it; maybe even none. Yet, the CPM has not only committed political
murders but also destroyed Bengal where economy is concerned. Fighting and
reducing corruption can only be one part of an agenda. It can never be the only
plank.
I have earlier compared Sonia Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal to Eva Peron of Argentina. That woman (and
her husband who was president) screwed the good economy of Argentina with their
freebies and doles. That country degenerated into a dictatorship and economic
ruin. AK is nothing but Sonia Gandhi in
pants and shirt. Sonia just maintains some decorum in public. He should
have been on her NAC (probably wanted too as well). Someone has drawn another
parallel between AK and the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. The similarities are indeed striking. Let’s patiently
watch Deepak Singh’s (@Smarket) analysis
in his video (14.37 mins):
Commies are historically known to prey
on the poor and their poverty. For the poor the illusions the Commies create is
a straw to clutch on. They get fooled over and over again out of sheer lack of
opportunities. We have seen the total failure of CPM in Bengal and we have seen
the lies, deception, U-turns and murder of political opponents world over by
Commies. We have seen that from AK and AAP too except the mass murder part. But
our media would have you believe that AK is on TV again because he is “available” and answers questions as
Rajdeep and Barkha foolishly believe and would have you believe:
It doesn’t occur to these two Congress
propagandists that AK is available
because he doesn’t want to work. He has never had any interest in sincere
work throughout his career. Most other CMs are busy with serious work and
cannot afford to be on stupid TV channels all the time. Worse, AK even found
time in his short stint as CM to do a "loving-it" interview with Barkha at the
Delhi Litterfest on February 9. For a
new CM that’s the priority stupid media people applaud. As for Rajdeep, his
lipstick for himself and AK never runs out of stock. Here’s what a Google search
shows; it’s quite fascinating:
It’s almost like Rajdeep is running a
permanent beauty salon for AK with a “before
and after” show. There was one before becoming CM, one after he became CM
with Malala scarf and all. Then again the “first” after resigning without the
Malala look but with a better-managed haircut and appearance. Looks like
Rajdeep has been like a “waiter” who has been waiting on AK for everything he
does “first”. And RS explains his stupidity (as does Barkha) that it’s because
AK “answers questions”. You know, birdfeed questions where AK gets to call
everyone corrupt except himself and his gang. Hugo Chavez once called George
Bush a “devil” in his UN speech. AK
is not very far off in the language he uses for all his opponents. Here’s a
summary of Chavez’s speech in
2006:
"Those who
want to go directly to hell can follow capitalism... and those of us who want
to build heaven here on earth will follow socialism… The Devil is right at
home. The Devil, the Devil himself, is right in the house. And the Devil came
here yesterday. Yesterday the Devil came here. Right here. And it smells of
sulphur still today. Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the
president of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the Devil,
came here, talking as if he owned the world. Truly. As the owner of the world."
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know
about people but Hugo Chavez did meet his maker in March this year; at a
relatively young age of 58 (or maybe went to hell as he predicted some would
do). I mentioned “Sponsored Revolutions” in an earlier post. There isn’t doubt anywhere that AK’s
so-called revolution is sponsored by both external and internal forces. The Congress
cronies in the media like it because they want AAP to win as many seats as
possible in the LS since all those eggs would invariably end up in the Congress
Omelette. Nothing in his 49-day stint as CM has shown AK has any political
decorum or vision or any idea of economics. Cheap populism and street level “goonda” behaviour is what we have seen.
And what questions did AK answer?
Actually none! He just used the platform to make claims about how his govt had
done more work in 4 days than any other since Independence. By what real
measure? Any question on such a dubious claim? None! He also grandly claimed
corruption in Delhi had come down in his 49 days as CM. This spurious claim
also went unchallenged. Rajdeep is probably another gullible AAPSucker who buys
this nonsense. Seems, the claim was also made by Shazia Ilmi quoting Transparency
International reports. The other member of the Unholy Trinity Hindustan Times grandly published
Shazia’s nonsense too without any verification. Turns out Transparency
International issued a denial of any such report and AAP had to apologise for their lies. This is the interview of
opportunity that both Rajdeep and Barkha peddle as “available”.
The ball-boys at a tennis match are
trained and gifted. They run around with speed, collect and transfer balls with
methodical grace. Often you don’t even notice them. That is when they are
supposed to be most efficient; when they aren’t seen at all. Govts are meant to be like that: work and
operate so efficiently that they aren’t seen at all. The only signs of govt
that people should usually see are the traffic cops or the regular police on
the beat. But propagandists Rajdeep and Barkha would have you believe that “netas”
should be on TV as often as they can. There has to be someone to put lipstick
on I guess.
I have written before that in his entire career so far AK has left
everything unfinished. He takes up one task or campaign and moves on to another
like people move on from on one song to the next popular one. “I doubt AK ever wanted to be a CM. He probably wanted to
create a revolution and be a high authority like a Lokpal or a CJI (He can’t be
CJI though) or the CIC by which he could dispense instant justice, haul anyone
before his court and sentence anyone without proper hearing. He wants to play
Dirty Harry. The Congress calculations forced him to settle for something less
like a CM position. He has used people as “tools” in his public life but for
once he has become a tool himself for the Congress. I’m sure his mirror will
tell him that. He could have been an honourable public figure doing great service.
He chose the evil path and evil always gets defeated in the end”.
Chavez called everyone he hated the “devil”. AK does the same; everyone but
him is corrupt. In reality, a closer look at his silly actions and claims only
tells us he’s a proxy for some external and internal political forces. People
like Rajdeep and Barkha are used to be being propagandists for the devil and
the corrupt; that is one measure of why the devil appears on their channel so
often. It is just that they believe others can’t see the devil in disguise too
and are as blind as they are.
