Dear Arvind,
When you started Aam Aadmi Party, I was one of the most positive person about changing politics of India. I expected a clean politics and well managed governance. I had been positive and even telling people that you have done nothing wrong by taking support from congress to form the government however as the development happened, I found no difference between you and other politicians and Aam Aadmi Party is not an Aam Aadmi Party anymore.
When Anna Hazare started his so called Jan Satyagraha and all the drama, I wrote clearly about hypocrite Anna and Ramdev and how they are making fool to the nation but still like millions I trusted you and Kiran Bedi.
I wrote about it on my following blog
http://simplygovind.blogspot.in/2011/04/should-we-become-fool-from-hypocrite.html
When you finally decided to enter into politics, I was very happy and eager to support. So, I took online membership too. During all these days, I have been fighting with people who do not believe in you and in AAP. However one after another of your decisions have shattered my belief on you , on Aam Aadmi Party. May be your actions and decisions are circumstantial. Like million countrymen I believe your every words, every action. However, unfortunately now your action is leading us (us, because few people I know also loosing trust on you) to believe that all those things were part of a game to grab the power and you were never intended to really act on this. I am writing below what I felt.
I completely agree and believe that today, our nation's condition is worse. There is no difference between British rule and present goonda rule. We saw a hope in AAP but if we analyse in deep, its overall motive and ambitions are doubtful. Once, I regarded Arvind as a most matured , honest and intellectual person now we see your immaturity. When you say "congress BJP can do anything " when attacked on AAP office, when Rakhi does drama of car attack and when in camera the kid comes then she says she does not know what fell on car and still Arvind, you defend her, why? If you are so weak to control your team member, what should we wait for future. Rakhi purposely filed the police complaint to get media coverage despite of the fact that the child came and apologize for the ball and Rakhi converted into stone pelting by unidentified person and when exposed, you defend her. Why Arvind? We need a lewder with impeccable characteristics and unfortunately you lost this.
Now let us look into another example,
when Shazia Ilmi caught on camera for taking bribe to protest for interest of a fake business house, you protected her by saying it as a conspiracy. We could believe that too but you later said that the election commission has given clean chit to her and other members of AAP and shockingly EC refuted your claim. What made you to lie at this extent? Aren't you doing the same thing as other political parties doing I.e. protecting their tainted members, goons and rapists, criminals and corrupt? Still, we could believe you but why did not you show receipt for the cash collected by Shazia and others? I remember the clean image IAC had during its protest and campaign when it issued receipt even for Rs. 10 donated to it and asked people not to donate more as IAC had enough funds.
Now let us take example of Anjali Damania saga.
,When Anjali Damania exposed on her drama of protesting the dam for her own interest, you still protected her by giving a clean chit through in house lokpal. There is nothing wrong to gain wealth ethically, its every one's right but pretending it as a social cause was not definitely right. I am from Mumbai and know how the lands are profitable in Karjat 100 kms away from Mumbai. Lands are purchased at around 2-3 lakhs per acre I.e. around 43000 sw feet, spent some 40 lakhs additionally on converting it to non agricultural land and selling at Rs. 300 to 400 per square feet. One cannot change land without paying bribe to collector. Now, a person who has bribed system for self, how can claimed to be an anti corruption crusader? Is it your team? Is this a right way to portrait AAP is an anti corruption party?
Next, the way you are accepting people from other party really put a question mark. You are accepting somebody leaving most corrupt party I.e. Samajwadi party just to take the benefit(I am not sure whether this SP goon has joined AAP or not but you have highly disappointed us, the citizen) and also somebody from BJP. Why?

When I read Swaraj, your book on governance and an Indian dream, it inspired me a lot and when I read, watched and analysed your speeches it gave me impression that you are following the same thing that you wrote in Swaraj thus for me AAP was a non communal, non caste biased, intellectual, true believer of equality so opposer of reservation system and a real people and nation empowering party (I am sorry if I have misunderstood AAP) but what I see that you welcome a rioter Maulavi and when media confronts you label him as an honourable and secular person. Was it so difficult you to accept your mistake? If a leader does not have guts to accept the mistake then thebleadership is in question.
Your more actions
You said that you will declare that there will be a helpline to complain about corruption where people can call and complain but later you said that it is helpline to help on how to do sting (what a bullshit, people do not need training on that), so were you selling hope to the people?
Before election you said that Sheela is a corrupt woman and a corrupt minister (we know and accept that, barring few every MP, MLA and ministers are corrupt) and when Harshvardhan reminds him, you ask to bring evidence (then was your pre poll allegations and commitment were wrong?).
You said that electrical companies are making wrong profit and you will stop it to reduce electricity bill but later you pay them subsidy to reduce the rate. (Then what difference are you doing than congress so are you also friend of electrical distribution company?).
Outcome of your freebies and populist measure
The city where I live (Bhiwandi, satellite town of Mumbai) has people in AAP who wants free electricity as after Torrent power took over, power theft has gone down and many improvement has happened. The people of AAP here has illegal buildings but they talk about corruption. So for them, AAP is a tool of regualarising illegal building, getting power for free and to get freebies. Like other political parties too, you won the election by distributing freebies like TV, mobile, laptops and so on. I believed AAP will empower people rather than making them parasites on nation's wealth. You bribed and lured people.
So, in nutshell, You have failed to my aspiration and expectation. Just yesterday I got message from one of my friend. He said, he thought donate AAP but after recent drama, he changed his mind and I was not aware that he is an AAP pro before. Similarly, my another friend Ramesh who actively participated in AAP activities in Bhiwandi, withdrew. The fact is I did not motivate anybody to do so. Now we are seeing your own MLAs questioning AAP's decision making process and even those who helped you from heart like captain Gopinath and Mallika Sarabhai are showing unhappiness.
May be you succeed as a political party but it is not the party which I dreamed. You are driving to generate one crore member so from this ocean even if I or we few drop, it may not affect you but I must tell you that when I discussed the issue on Bharat Uday Mission group, I found both supporter and opposer of you and I feel, people are loosing trust.
During one MTHR meeting, a meeting of HR fraternity Mayank Gandhi told about 10-80-10 formula which means 10% people are absolute corrupts, 10% are absolute honest and rest 80% are neutral I must say that the rest 80% are opportunist and you are attracting them.
All the best, Jai Hind, Vande Mataram and I resign from AAP membership with immediate effect.

Dear Govind, I have also joined AAP and became its Member through online and have not lost the hope.
ReplyDeleteI Like Arvindji, Manish shishodia, Yogendra yadav and people like them who are present in the thick and thin time of the party. The party became at later stage earlier they were an Individual dedicating their life for what they belief and Wishes to see India in future. They are not politicians or opportunist. So i firmly believe forming a party is a small change as it give hopes to other. but bringing change is not easy, When a honest individual try something we all become very critical and lose confidence easily but do not try to understand the circumstances the individual has to go through, but we are not critical and express our cowardliness of what can we do when parties like Congress and BJP play their game.
If AAP survives the Hope of millions Survives. We talk big words from outside the Ground but do not wish to play the Game in the field. its Sad.
Very Less time in Millennium common people get chance to bring change, and so Under the honest Leadership of dedicated people I will support AAP and wishes you the same
Kuldeep
