So, on the very next day of his political pilgrimage in Maharashtra , the invigorating signs of a strengthening anarchist
in Arvind Kejriwal came up with yet another evidence for us to believe he is
heading in the right direction.
During a high-profile event, aping the practices of the
political class he derided, he spoke on his schemes on how he would handle the
media players who were working against him. That shows clear signs of coming of
age. Isn’t it? Political hooliganism, rowdyism – his party is embracing and
practicing with unmatched enthusiasm. After all, he has started leaning even
from his opponents.
Good signs for the kind of democracy India
Mr. Kejriwal said, not in a veiled threat, but in an open,
audaciously warm warning, that those acting to malign his image would face
probe and jailed if he came to power.
According to the ‘media’ reports, he said: "Since last one year, we have been told that Modi is
there, Modi is there. Since one year, Modi has also been saying that. Even some
TV channels have been saying that Ramrajya has come and corruption has
vanished. This has happened, that has happened; a lot has happened. Why did
they do it? Because money has been paid to TV channels, heavy amount has been
paid to promote Modi," Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal went on to say, "Around 800
farmers have committed suicide in Gujarat in
the past 10 years but none of the channels have showed it. Farmers have sold
their land to Adani in just one rupee but even this has not been shown by any
channel. Arvind has taken security, Arvind has not taken security, he has taken
Z category and Y security. Let the security go to hell but they won't show
Modi's truth. The whole media is sold this time, it's a conspiracy, it is a
huge political conspiracy."
"If our government comes to power then we
will set an inquiry into this. And along with media people, all will be sent to
jail," he added.
Thus – now - he has started talking in the fully matured
tone of an anarchist, so much so, that he looks set to take it even beyond the
realms of political anarchy. He is taking it personally. That is a goof sign.
It will ensure his commitment in evolving as the
representative of the class of political anarchists in India
Once, Arvind Kejriwal establishes his identity of a
political anarchist as a force to reckon with, he has the ability to unite the
scattered and warring factions to bring under one roof.
And how vital are the signs is self-evident from the fact
that how Mr. Kejriwal debunked the ‘media’ reports that he had taken a U-turn
on his ‘jailing the media’ statement.
How can a true anarchist backtrack from a statement that
endorses his quality?
Probably, some of the ‘media’ reports on his U-turn sounded
threatening to Mr. Kejriwal on his ‘media will be jailed’ rhetoric and how
could an anarchist be threatened?
So, he decided to hit back.
In a Nagpur
And his party did the same in Delhi
Bravo Mr. Kejriwal! Carry on the mascot!
