Kejriwal’s One-Man Show With AAP Seems Unpopular. Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan In The Right?


As Arvind Kejriwal returned from Bengaluru, Delhi received him minus the cheer. After the 5 saal Kejriwal chant that resounded across Delhi, the man won the city's heart and 67 seats these elections. Then he went on to take oath as chief minister on Valentine's Day, in a ceremony that was not short of a wedding, as far as emotions go. Unlike the last time though, Kejriwal isn't being accused of being a 'bhagoda'. The problem this time around is a rift within the party. One faction of the party believes in losing its Delhi-centric identity, in branching out to other states. The other faction, is largely Kejriwal.



This also resulted in Anjali Damania quitting AAP, having lost faith in the party.

“I quit.. I have not come into AAP for this nonsense. I believed him. I backed Arvind for principles not horse-trading,” Damania tweeted, reports Hindustan Times.

The third major grievance with Kejriwal is over AAP involving many volunteers from other states for the Delhi government election process. The party chief is answerable.

"The present dispute within the AAP has conveyed a negative message across the country. Arvind Kejriwal is our undisputed leader and under his leadership we want the political change that took place in Delhi to spread elsewhere. Like in Delhi, corruption is in every state. We need to go beyond Delhi and redress the grievances of the people," AAP convenor of Mysore district, Vinod MS told Firstpost.

Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Volunteer Action Manch (AVAM) has found the right opportunity to project the need for its existence.

Karan Singh of AVAM says, "AVAM was formed in 2014, when for the first time volunteers got frustrated, as the party's top leadership, including Kejriwal, stopped listening to their grievances and demands. It's against the basic principles of AAP that talks about Swaraj (internal democracy), but in practice, the party never follows it. Whosoever raises questions is shown the door. It happened with us. And, it has worsened now."

It has barely been a month, and AAP has started unravelling its internal workings. And the lack of democracy is quite apparent.
