Just came from a heated argument over same . My curious questions ( For which I am invited to attend one of their meetings) :
1- They started with a motto - India against Corruption . its a movement not a political agenda ,in very quoted words of so called Leaders " We r not politicians - we just want to change system
-------Motto Changed now from movement to Political Party-------------
2- Please pardon my language Sir ------bade tees markhan ban rahe yeh Kiran n Kejriwal ---pehle nahi pata tha ---ek bill pass karane ke liye VOte ki Zaroorat padti hai Fast n anshan ke nahi . Woh toh bahut educated n experienced class hai---don't they know rules of democracy. Only way to defeat is to Contend Election and win seats .
---------Shayad Der se yad aaya ---------------
3- Along with my brother there 400 people who were on fast ----bas ek kejriwal balidan deta dikha .
4- What I hate most -----ek commoner ko kuch ho jaye toh toh usse AIMS le jao , n Tum Kejriwal n Anna g ke liye---Medanta ke doctors aayenge . Baki 400 faltoo hai woh AIMS ki line mei lage .
5- Ek bar jakar pooch lo Sir g , un 400 logon mei se kissi ko pata tha ki Political Party banne wali hai , even Mr. Vishwas was confused over same .
6- Yeh toh Bolo mat India against Corruption-else treat all equal. They have cheated us , pehle humara support liya movement ke nam par ab Political Party ke nam par Vote chahiye .
7- And kahan gaya wo slogan by Kejriwla " Balidan dene aaye hai -ab toh desh ke nam kar di life " - 8 Din mei ho gaya balidan.
8- Request do not ever compare these people with Bhagat Singh n all ------unhone jo bola kar ke dikhaya-----chadh gaye fansi.
9- Sir to the leaders of movement---either do not say anything or if do better keep ur word.
10- Whats the criteria of Honest-Patriotic Candidate ( Ram g aakar gawahi denge ) . Lemme contend----I have never even jumped a red light ( just kidding ).
11- Politics is game ------Rules are set---n every player has to abide with Rules - 2 sal mei unhe sare rules pata chal gaye .
12- Sir atleast meri n apki life for next 60 years toh hai----dekh lenege kya hoga
PS------I seriously want this to be success not for those Hippocrates but for 400 people who left their houses were on fast---not for publicity but for some cause .
Amen !
Having read views stated above, it is clear that most of the people are confused and would like to see how the situation develops closer to the elections before 2014.
Will Team Anna put up formidable candidates with good reputation in the fray? Whom and where are these formidable candidates? Will team be able to convince Anna to be their PM candidate? Will teamInadvertentlyy help UPA by dividing votes meant for Modi/BJP? What happens if BJP declare Modi as its PM candidate? What strategyy the team puts across after careful appreciation of the voting pattern likely to emerge?
There are far too many questions and too many variable to be determined at this stage and therefore it would not be correct to pass judgment. However, my vote would go to the team due to the following reasons:-
- Its different, they are neither power hungry nor after money and just simple desperate patriotic people fighting for a better India tomorrow.
- When a cat is cornered, it fights back. They have been put in the similar situation by the Govt.
- So called national parties have betrayed them and the nation and therefore they have no option other than fighting elections.
- Last but not the least, the corruption is the menace which has taken such a size that it is either now or never and should be supported fully by every Indian
