MARKETING DREAMS TO COMMON PEOPLE (AAM AADMI)

Social Activist Anna Hazare and his team brought  corruption to the centre stage of India's political scene. Aravind Kejriwal took advantage of being a part of Anna's Team and  formed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and captured the imagination of people by offering numerous DREAMS. But as Chief Minister he  had no systematic approach to governance. Finally after 49 days he played martyr and resigned from the post of CM. Now he appears to be aiming at the PM's chair. He dreams and tries to make the dream-loving Indians to believe him.All over India corporate leaders, social activists, politicians from other parties, and the educated youth are joining his dreams. But the reality is the lack of ideology. Crusade against corruption alone cannot take a political movement forward. There must be an ideological base which should be shared by those who join the movement. Take two examples. Kejriwal told the Confederation of Indian Industries that he wants the government to be not in business and all business activities should be by private enterprises. A typical NEO-LIBERAL ECONOMIC IDEOLOGY, which will lead to exploitation of the vunerable and the weak, and will also breed corrupion. On the social life, he supports Khap Panchayats. The Khaps in villages , no doubt, help settle certain disputes, which  elected panchayats can do with committed village representatives. But Khaps are patriarchal formations of village men and the Khap Panchayats have dictated inhuman punishments against women. Directing rape of a young girl by nearly a dozen  men in public gaze for loving a man, not approved by the villaga elders, is a recent example. The Supreme Court of India declared the Khap Panchayats illegal. But our politicians treat the Khaps as potential electoral allies. Kerala, a state with progressive population, has no such Regressive panchayats. Arwind Kejriwal and his team of ideologues, with an eye on Haryana voters, say that Khap Panchayats are social organisations. Yes, they are social , but doing generally antisocial actions against women. India's bane :SLOGANS.VOCAL POLITICIANS, MASS MOBILISATION TO CAPTURE POLITICAL POWER, LEAVING PEOPLE IN THE LURCH.
