Anarchy or Acumen

Paul V Mathew
In both ways people are becoming the victims of politics. While prevailing issues of corruption and maladministration are clutching the necks of aam admi at one side, a group of politicians place political posture above public interest by violating the mandate of of common men. When a Chief Minister becomes an activist and quixotic by ignoring the priorities of people, it seems only hasty and speedy. The question of effective governance complying with the rule of law is now debating.    Soliciting your views.

When you have all the pieces in a chess board except the pawns, how can you make the first move. In order to clean up the mess that has become Delhi , you need a police force that does not behave indifferently towards a crime,criminals & or a  democratically elected government. The situation though must be controlled  ,and must not affect the working of the government.
As for the common man and his suffering , if you can sacrifice a few day's inconvenience for a few years of good governance then that sacrifice is a small price to pay . As they say ,Rome was not built in a day.

Well said Mathew. Who said governments are to run only from marble floored buildings? If my government runs from the streets and still delivers, then so be it. Everyone is ready to jump the bandwagon of blaming this movement that had the guts to dream. Given the choice between honest, straightforward and down-to-earth (no pun intended) democratically elected officials to that rigid, paternalistic system that people call "mature government", I'd choose the former readily.

When the Supreme Court and Election commission lashed out on AAP warning breaching the code of conduct, media project that the hope of common public becomes bleak when AAP deviates from action to activism. The initial turbulence of Binni and the naive approach of Bharti creep them in to a more unstable situation. 
History proves that anti corruption (anti-congress) movement or people agitation is is a part of the political cycle that hardly creates any BREAKTHROUGH in India. The anti corruption campaigners BSP. TDP, JDS, RJD, JP etc. are in almost dormant and in the midst of allegations. Though we expected a paradigm shift in Middle East, the issue is now worst than earlier. .
But the hope here is that rather than anti congress, AAP strives to create change in the political rigmarole which is a need of the time. Though it is very earlier to predict the future of AAP, there may be no dual opinion in the fact that practicing good governance is much harder than  preaching. Any how, it seems a positive sign to strengthen democracy, governance, and sovereignty of citizens. Let's hope this 'start' be a beginning of the purification and sanctification of our system.
Thank you for the valuable response.
