Prophets of Doom ?

Since yesterday morning when Arvind Kejriwal announced that AAP will form a government in Delhi , prophets of doom have sprung into action everywhere - mostly on TV

They are saying :

> AAP government cannot deliver on its impractical poll promises

> AAP has sacrificed its principle of taking no support

> AAP has betrayed the people of Delhi

> AAP is lusting for power - like all other parties

> AAP has no experience in running a government

> People will soon get disillusioned with AAP...............etc

Then there are some who are not happy being mere dooms-dayer !

They want to pro-actively bring about the downfall of AAP by laying a carefully concealed trap for AAP to walk into !

Take Dr Harshvardhan of BJP

He challenges AAP government to arrest / prosecute within next 30 days , those persons who were held guilty by the Shunglu Commission , in respect of CWG scam

Being a polite gentleman , he does not name names ( Sheila Dikshit ? )

He says , exposing and punishing the corrupt is an important poll promise of AAP

You would think Sheila Dikshit would get offended with Dr Harshvardhan

Oh , but No !

Quite the contrary

She too wants Arvind to walk into this trap !

That would give her just the desired excuse to withdraw that " Outside Support " of Congress to bring down the AAP government

I hope Arvind is smart enough to see through these macabre machinations of mediocre minions , who want to lead AAP , up a garden path !

DEAR ARVIND ,

Exposing the corrupt is " IMPORTANT - but not URGENT "

It is NOT your priority No 1

Delivering pro-poor reforms is both " IMPORTANT and URGENT "

Stay your course and watch out for the traps

Remaining honest in the days to come is far more important than exposing the corruption of the past
