Arvind Kejriwal seems to be obsessed with playing to the gallery.
Kejriwal’s actions in exhorting people not to pay their electricity bills, and to reconnect disconnected meters is the expression of a frustrated man not knowing what to do.
It is normal to disturbed , as you and me are, at the rampant Corruption and mismanagement of the Country by elected thugs, good to be morally indignant , but it is down right criminal and irresponsible to resort to taking law into one’s own hands.
If Kejriwal can resort to these strong-arm tactics, when not in power, one shudders to think that he can ,heaven’s forbid, if he and his band of anarchists come to power!
The example of DMK during Anti -Hindi agitation and the Anti Brahmin movement in Tamil Nadu comes to my mind.
There were mistakes in Governance,though not so much in decisions, but in communicating them to people and Social injustice wrought upon a group of people, by , again a few, that made people go in for a ‘quick fix’
The people of Tamil Nadu handed over power to a set of hardened criminals, flotsam and jetsam that Tamil Nadu is yet to recover and worse, they do not know how and when!?
Kejriwal is heading this way.
Beware.
“Two days after Arvind Kejriwal launched his attack against the city government by restoring power supply in some houses, BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd filed a police complaint against a man, whose connection was restored on Sunday by the activist-turned-politician.
During protests across Delhi as part of his ‘bijli-paani satyagraha’, Kejriwal had visited the house of a labourer on Sunday at Tigri Colony in south Delhi and reconnected the power line cut off by the discom.
BRPL on Tuesday filed the case against the labourer with Neb Sarai police station in south Delhi.
In the complaint against Banna Ram, the discom has invoked Section 138 of the Indian Electricity Act, which states that it is illegal to interfere and fiddle with the electricity network. The discom said unauthorised power connection is a punishable offence that may attract imprisonment up to three years. Ram got a power bill of Rs 15,000 last month, and since he was unable to pay it, the discom cut off electricity to this house.”
