Arvind Kejriwal - The New Mahatma?

So, Arvind Kejriwal has been sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Delhi.  Shiela Dixit has been hit badly, and so has Congress and BJP. Congress has offered to support AAP to give them a majority so that they can form a government in Delhi, though no one knows why.

I said in one of my posts before that India needs a new Mahatma Gandhi to make it free of corruption, so I wonder now: Is Arvind Kejriwal our saviour? Is he the person who is going to make India a corruption free country? Well, to me it looks he is the new Mahatma. People have high expectations from him. But, he should tread carefully. If he stumbles somewhere, and doesnt give the people what he promised, or makes a delay in giving it to them, they might just spoil everything he has worked for. After all, people have been waiting for 0% corruption for a long time. They even want the corrupt ministers to get punished, and have low crime rates.

And, if he is successful, egos will be hurt. Politicians would want to kill him. A no confidence motion can be passed. Anything can happen. I hope he knows where he is going. I hope he knows how sensitive his situation is.

And, also, if Arvind Kejriwal fails, the common man's trust from the politicians and parties will be lifted. They will think India is doomed to corruption, and rightly so. But, God moves in mysterious ways. I dont think Arvind Kejriwal will fail. If he doesnt fail, other political parties would be forced to take the same path he took or they would be non-existent. Only one party would win every election. And, too much of something is bad. India would be an ideal democracy, but, there would be things troubling the people then too. It could be anything, though I cant think of anything that would trouble the people in an ideal democracy.

Moreover, and ideal democracy is possible in theory only. There have to be some flaws in every democracy; in every country. Nothing is perfect.

I wish Arvind Kejriwal all the best and I hope he is able to make a change in this place. This place really needs it.
