Atishi Frontrunner To Succeed Kejriwal As Delhi CM
Share this content:
Atishi Marlenaappears to be emerging as the most preferred leader in the AAP to succeed Arvind Kejriwas as Delhi Chief Minister, according to the media reports. My own analysis is that a Dalit or an OBC will be his successor. Atishi being a woman, AAP may factor it into the calculations. Although there are some isolated voices rooting for Saurabh Bharadwaj, yet his caste Brahmin is a negative factor. Within a couple of days of walking out from the Tihar prison, Kejriwal seems to have assessed the mood of the people having turned against the AAP. Kejriwal’s refusal to resign from the post of Chief Minister while in Tihar jail has made the party a butt of ridicule. How can there be a comparison of jailed Chief Minister with the legends like Bhagat Singh, etc? It is written on the wall that the tall claims of honesty and transparency have made look AAP worse than the rest of the parties who are already out of favour. Kejriwal couldn’t have been blind to this crisis of credibility. Yet, he stuck to the post of the Chief Minister reflecting a poor judgement. Now that he has come out, his attempts to change the dented image by relinquishing the coveted post will not succeed. Even the BJP’s mild suggestion that Kejriwal had better recommend to the L-G the dissolution of the Delhi assembly was met with a rather stoic reply that “last time we had got it dissolved, we had to face the allegation of having run away from the responsibility. We don’t want to again commit that mistake.” The BJP has said that Kejriwal has no option but to resign and yet making a spectacle of it as if he were sacrificing. Actually, Kejriwal’s U turns and subsequent U turns on his previous U Turns have taken the wind out of the party and hence this desperate attempt, said Harish Khurana of BJP. May be the strands of truth cant be always mingled freely and indiscriminately with the standlone warriors of Delhi BJP, yet the party is much too spineless and rudderless to take even a small step against AAP.
