Ref : 1. 7 reasons why AAP won't survive as a political party : 14-04-2017 : Sunil Rajguru : dailyO
Kejriwal has done nothing for Delhi.
In the recent New Delhi Assembly by-poll in Rajouri Garden, the AAP candidate not only lost, but also lost his deposit. One struggles to think such a fate befalling the ruling party of any state.
The writing has been on the wall for quite some time now. The AAP is a party in terminal decline and may not last past the year 2020, when its Delhi Assembly term ends. Here are some of the reasons why…
1) Kejriwal’s personal reputation is in tatters :
Arvind Kejriwal’s personal charisma saw the spectacular success of the 2011 August Kranti agitation, the launch of the AAP and his storming to power in Delhi. But after that he is in decline and has been in the news for all the wrong reasons.
He has been reduced to a joke in social media and gives Rahul “Pappu” Gandhi a run for his money in being the laughing stock. Not a good sign for any politician if you set out to be Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rival but end up being Pappu’s replacement.
He had his ups and downs from 2011-15, but since then it's only down. Kejriwal is always in the news for all the wrong reasons, shooting off his mouth without thinking and always on the defensive regarding his party’s misdeeds.
AAP is a one-man party and when that one man sinks, he will inevitably take the party down with him.
2) Bad governance and no achievements till date :
From 2011-15, Kejriwal ran on the basis of promises and kept saying he wanted just one chance to prove himself. Well, no politician can get a better chance than being given 67/70 seats in any Assembly. Kejriwal has totally squandered that.
In the last two years he doesn’t have any achievements to boast of and there is nothing that suggests that Delhi citizens are leading a better quality of life. Whether it is roads, power, water or any kind of reforms, Kejriwal has done nothing of note.
Forget giving a better kind of politics, AAP politicians have acquired a reputation of being the very worst in Delhi.
In the past, many parties kept getting re-elected on the basis of caste and religion. But Kejriwal promised good governance and good politics. He has fallen woefully short on both counts. He currently has absolutely nothing to woo voters.
3) Funds drying up for the AAP :
Every political party runs on funds. Years back, there was great enthusiasm for the AAP and Kejriwal got a lot of funding from NRIs and the middle class of India. But that is in the past and funds are now down to a trickle.
AAP funding is in the news for all the wrong reasons too. Former founding member Yogendra Yadav said the AAP was no longer transparent in its donor list. Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh claimed they were being funded by Khalistanis.
Former Punjab deputy CM openly accused AAP of getting funds from “terrorist organisations having roots in foreign lands”. Then there comes news like the Delhi Lieutenant-Governor asking the party to return a good Rs 97 crore on ad money spent on promoting the party outside the state.
It is uncertain how long the party can last on the basis of such uncertain funding.
4) Court cases finally catching up :
In 2011 Kejriwal and his supporters lamented the fact that there were so many chargesheeted politicians in Parliament. Well now there are dozens and dozens of cases against Kejriwal, his MLAs and AAP leaders.
The Indian judiciary system is slow, but it eventually does catch up. There was the 2013 dharna case, the attack on BJP headquarters and many arrests and bails of his MLAs. Very soon, the AAP will spend all their time in the courts.
The Arun Jaitley criminal defamation case is catching up against Kejriwal and an Assam court had also issued a bailable arrest warrant against him. The Shunglu report has brought to light many irregularities committed by the Kejriwal government. You can be sure that many more cases will pile up.
Kejriwal needs just one conviction in any personal case against him for his MLA ticket to be cancelled (and hence the loss of his CM’s post) and he won’t even be able to contest elections for six years!
5) Wipe-out in Goa and missed opportunity in Punjab
There is no way a small party like AAP can compete in large states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar or say Tamil Nadu. That way their only chance was cities and small states. The AAP did OK initially, getting four Lok Sabha seats in Punjab in 2014 and capturing Delhi in 2015.
But 2017 was a missed opportunity for them. There was a severe anti-incumbency wave against SAD in Punjab and the AAP failed to capitalise on that. They got thrashed by the Congress. They were wiped out in Goa. Their long-term strategy has been severely dented.
With disillusionment high in New Delhi, you could say the AAP currently enjoys no goodwill in any city or small state in India to build on for the future.
6) Possible disqualification of 21 MLAs :
There is an office of profit case against 21 AAP MLAs and all reports suggest they have a very weak case. So there’s a good chance the Election Commission may disqualify them and hold fresh elections.
Any ruling party losing one-third of their MLAs in one stroke is unprecedented and though the AAP will not lose power, overnight they will be humiliated and severely weakened.
7) Need something really special to counter Modi :
From 2013-17, Modi has won almost every electoral battle he has fought. Exceptions are Bihar and Delhi in 2015. In Bihar, Nitish Kumar was a very popular CM who formed a Mahagatbandhan. From 2011-15, Kejriwal worked on the basis of “promise” and “potential”.
But Kejriwal has thrown down the only card he has. He has nothing to fight Modi in the 2019 general elections. He has nothing to defend the 2020 Delhi elections. That is why Kejriwal has reached a political endgame and the AAP faces extinction.

Ref : 2. Kejriwal and His Delhi Durbar Led to AAP’s Downfall in Punjab : 12.03.2017 : AMANDEEP SANDHU :PUNJAB ELECTIONS 2017 : THE QUINT
“Until now it is AAP, but if they goof up more, we shall throw our might behind the Congress". This was the refrain in the villages of Punjab in October 2016, before the political parties distributed the seats and the voters clamped up. Most of the last-round reporting before the polls reported a silent vote. The opinion polls predicted a neck-and-neck fight. What we forgot is that the people are watching. People will decide. Newsrooms and opinion pieces do not decide the elections, in Punjab at least.
To understand this, we need to step back a bit. Eighteen months ago, my forays into Punjab coincided with the Aam Aadmi Party deciding to contest elections in the state. In October 2015, the whitefly pest had struck cotton crops, farmers and workers were on rail-roko, the Guru Granth Sahib sacrilege took place in Bargadi and many other places. No one was caught.
Instead, police had killed two innocent protestors. Punjab – Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims – all froze into an angry curl. The administration halted. The ministers hid in their homes. The Sikhs called for a traditional Sarbat Khalsa. Lakhs attended it. It was an old air of conspiracy, the disenchantment with the Akalis was ripe. The mood was set for a change. That is when AAP stepped in.
1. AAP Couldn’t Reciprocate Punjab’s Warmth :
A few weeks later, Arvind Kejriwal spoke at the Muktsar Maghi Mela. He promised to arrest the sacrilege culprits and rid the state of drugs within three weeks. People gave him a thumbs-up. If the elections had taken place last winter, AAP would have got what they claimed – 100/117 seats. Yet, the March result is for all of us to see: AAP with 22 seats has secured less than one-third of the winner Congress.
2. What is the reason? :
To me, it is gaze. The gaze with which Punjab looked at AAP and AAP looked at Punjab. In the 2014 General Elections, upon seeing the right-wing BJP projecting Modi as a messiah, the state was the only one to send four AAP MPs to Lok Sabha. Punjab had welcomed AAP with open arms. It had taken AAP at face value – a party that will rid the Indian polity of its evils and focus on transparency in governance. Punjab loves a rebel.
But AAP could not reciprocate Punjab’s warmth. Post general elections, in the midst of an internal party feud – when it threw out Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan – Punjab’s trust in AAP was a bit shaken. What exacerbated it was the suspension of its Punjab MPs – Dr Dharmvira Gandhi and Harinder Singh Khalsa. A lot of saddened Punjab volunteers, who had even worked in Delhi elections, took a backseat. The question on people’s mind was: Is it a party with inner democracy or is it ruled by one man – Arvind Kejriwal? Opinions could differ, but AAP never clarified.
3. Delhi Durbar Calling Shots in Punjab :
Given this deliberate silence, AAP exhibited a dual understanding of Punjab – on one hand that Punjabis are simple people who stand for justice and will vote with their hearts and on the other hand that Punjab is a volatile state which cannot be trusted easily. That has anyway been Delhi’s attitude towards Punjab, given the state’s earlier stance against the Centre over Punjabi Suba, its river waters, then a decade-and-half-long militancy.
So, AAP – with about two years of knowledge of urban politics, that too in Delhi, where the Punjab cadre played a key role in elections – brought in above 50 observers to monitor a mostly rural Punjab. Sucha Singh Chhotepur became its convenor, but Kejriwal kept him beholden to Durgesh Pathak and Sanjay Singh, again not from the state.
The Congress and Akalis sought to skew AAP’s discourse by calling them ‘outsiders’ – a very loaded term in Punjab with its long cultural DNA of being a border state, a gateway to the sub-continent.
When such a term is invoked on an outsider who has good intentions towards Punjab tries to learn the state, absorb its cultural dynamics. AAP tried doing that through symbolism, Kejriwal wearing a yellow turban at Muktsar, running a campaign by speaking two lines in Punjabi over telephone, which were more gimmicky than real. These annoyed people.
It also hosted the Bolda Punjab series of dialogues with locals, which seemed real. The dialogues culminated in multiple targeted manifestos.
Sources within AAP tell me, Punjab composed the manifestoes, but they were sent to Delhi for approval where they were changed, points were dropped, and new undiscussed points incorporated. This is breach of trust in a leadership. People did not know this, but this is what we call in Punjab the working of the ‘Delhi Durbar’.
4. Urban Kejriwal Couldn’t Understand Rural Punjab :
With the Youth Manifesto, AAP ended up with egg on its face. The Akalis construed it as an insult to the Sikh religion – the AAP symbol, a broom, on top of the Durbar Sahib on the cover page. It was a battle tactic. Delhi-based AAP was trapped, had to apologise, and it lost face.
Meanwhile, Chhotepur started growing in stature. AAP, to get back into the game, chose to cut him to size. They manufactured a bribery sting operation, never proven or disclosed. But Chhotepur was sacked. Chhotepur then disclosed that when Kejriwal asked him to own the Youth Manifesto as his mistake, he expressed his fear that the Sikhs would boycott him. City-bred, urban Kejriwal did not understand the dynamics of rural Punjab. He responded, ‘So what?’
5. Failure to Project Phoolka, Sandhu as Face of the Party :
Punjab is the only region in the nation with a Sikh majority. Sacrilege is what had created the mood for AAP’s entry. If Kejriwal could not get this or the local sentiment right, it was his hubris playing. It was clear he saw himself as the messiah people needed.
Subsequently, in manifesto after manifesto, AAP promised the world – farm loan waiver, compensation for crops, industrial growth, overhauling of state schools and health services, but never answered from where would the funds come for all of this. They seemed as good as fairy tales.
With Chhotepur leaving, given one of the MPs – who clearly eyed the CM post, worked very hard in campaigns, but could not control his drinking habit or match Bhagwant Mann’s success and popularity – they brought in another comedian, a novice to politics, to helm the party – Gurpreet Ghuggi. Yes, rustic Punjab likes a good laugh but that does not mean AAP does not project its leaders like HS Phoolka or Kanwar Sandhu or Jarnail Singh as substantial leaders. Or declare one of them or Mann as a chief ministerial candidate.
The fear that remained in Punjab was that Kejriwal would himself become the CM. This is unthinkable in Punjab’s political dynamics. People would not accept a non-Punjabi, non-Sikh leader. Whether it is right or wrong is not the question. This is how Punjab’s politics is structured at present.
6. What Angered the Voters? :
Within the party cadre, there brewed a fear of sting operations and lack of trust on one another. The only loyalty the party understood was the one towards Kejriwal. A journalist friend joked, the only qualification to join AAP is to remove your spine and replace it with a rubber tube.
Punjab’s voters were keeping an eye on these developments – bickering for seats within the party, the disgruntled AAP members quitting the party and speaking against it, promising the seat to multiple people in a constituency, getting them to spend lakhs on publicity, not giving the seat to any one of them or demanding money for a seat towards party funds, and finally the strict monitoring of candidate campaigns. Punjab has had enough such experiences. It did not want these from AAP.
7. Unable to Come Clean on Khalistani Elements & Funds :
Then there is the support from the diaspora, the funds from abroad, the accusations of hobnobbing with the Khalistan sympathisers. The point is not these accusations but the fact that AAP could never come clean on them. In its hurry and desperation to win, it opened its doors to all, including those rejected by the Congress and Akali. This desperation to win, riding roughshod on people’s sensibility, not being humble to demonstrate what they promised as a goal, finally saw AAP lose the state with their dream to campaign across rest of India being shattered.
8. But All is Not Lost for AAP : Is everything lost now? No. It is not. Here is why:
One, their wins have mostly been in Malwa – the epicentre of Punjab’s woes. The Congress is part of the structure they blame while they seek a revolution. I can only hope they become a responsible Opposition, articulate the issues and pursue the government to bring changes on the ground. If people see them do that, they will vote for them in next time. AAP needs to spend time at the opposition benches to learn governance and not promise the sky to its voters.
Two, let us assume AAP has good intentions. The workers and volunteers have it in abundance. That is why they flocked to the party. The leaders told people during the campaigns that they have solutions for Punjab’s problems. Will they share their plans with the new government? After all, now the state needs solutions more than the party needs branding and votes.
Three, for friends in other states tilting towards AAP as they plan for forthcoming state elections. AAP is not Kejriwal. Kejriwal may have founded AAP, but unless the functioning of the party is transparent, it won’t succeed in any state. Push the party to change itself instead of letting one insecure man dominate all your good work. You cannot promise the clear sky and give people a crooked ladder to climb.
A party like AAP, which claims to stand for participatory democracy, needs to recognise its volunteers and workers and not just its leaders. Given what happened in Uttar Pradesh today, this country needs such alternatives even more urgently.

Legal affairs:
1. Arvind Kejriwal has had a controversial history of allegations, subsequent defamation cases against him.
2. In several cases Kejriwal has unconditionally apologised after allegations have been found baseless in defamation cases in courts and then he has issued apology letters to several leaders on the same.
3. It started with Kejriwal releasing his list of most corrupt politicians in January 2014 that included several leaders across the political spectrum.
4. Of the several on the list, Nitin Gadkari immediately filed a defamation suit against Kejriwal. Kejriwal further made allegations against finance minister Arun Jaitley for irregularities in DDCA.
5. This was followed by Arun Jaitley filing a 10 crore defamation suit against Kejriwal. In the meanwhile in 2016, Kejriwal made allegations against Bikram Majithia, then revenue minister of Punjab of involvement in drug trade for which Majithia filed a defamation case against him and two others from Aam Aadmi party.
6. Kejriwal apologised to Majithia a couple of years later in March 2016. Subsequently, Kejriwal also apologised to union minister Nitin Gadkari for his unverified allegations and also sought apology from former minister Kapil Sibal.
7. Around the same time on 2 March 2016, Delhi High Court asked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and suspended BJP MP Kirti Azad to file their written statements in a civil defamation suit of Rs 5 crores filed by DDCA for their alleged remarks against the cricket body regarding its functioning and finances.
8. KEJRIWAL GROWTH IS AS A PARASITE AND DEPENDING ON MANY GOOD PERSONS SUCH AS ANNA HAZARE, KIRAN BEDI, AND MANY MORE, DISCARD ( AFTER EATING AWAY THE ESSENCE ).
9. ANOTHER THING HE IS SELF CENTRED, NEVER ACCEPT GOOD PERSONS MERITS, AN EVIL JEALOUS CREATURE.
10. HE NEVER SINCERELY INVOLVED IN HIS GIVEN JOB DURING HIS LIFE TIME TILL THIS DAY.
11. THIS FOOL FORGOT THAT BUD TAKE TIME TO BECOME FLOWER, FOOL WISH TO DISLODGE PM MODI JI AND DREAM TO GRAB PM CHAIR.
12. THIS IDIOT IS UNFIT TO BE A PEON OR ATTENDER IN A SMALL OFFICE EVEN..
Following this in April 2018 Arvind Kejriwal and three others from his party including Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha and Ashutosh apologised Arun Jaitley in a joint letter.
In his affidavit to Election Directorate before the second term elections in 2015 Kejriwal had declared that he has 10 criminal charges and 47 total charges against him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLIC OPINION :
1. Criticising Surgical Strike - Demand of Proof - People though he is pro-Pakistani
2. His blame game on PM for each and every fault he did
3. Unnecessary advertisement on his works which were not done - just on papers. Mohalla clinics opened but not working. Lot of money laundering in opening of Mohalla clinics.
4. His corrupt MLAs involved in corruption, Rape, Bogus degrees etc. Land Mafia
5. Underestimating of people of Delhi who believed on him but he ditched people of delhi. Subsidy for Electricity and Water. That is all public money which should have been incurred on development of Delhi. No infrastructure in Delhi. It is same as was in Sheila Dixit Time.
6. His tussle with Lt. Governor on each and every mater.
7. Tussle with Central Government. Unnecessary blame on Ministers in the Central Government
8. His attitude that he is only learned, intelligent, brilliant, outstanding man in India. People did not like it.
9. Court case fees to Ram Jethmalani, Public money he is incurring for his personal case.
10 He is a big liar.
11. 1. His loud mouth and abusive language
12. His insincerity
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three types of leaders.
Leaders who are born leaders. These people develop such qualities right from their kindergarten school.
Those who develop to be one such through perseverance and hard work.
Those who imagine to be one such and pose to be leader and cannot take any decisions on their own. They do not have any individuality. They depend on others and are very inefficient. They get angry quickly.
Kejriwal belongs to third category. He was able to win 67 seats out of 70 because he had good advisors Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, in 2015 who were able to strategies effectively to win 67 seats. Once they were driven out his downfall started.
I think he is pretty decisive.. Only problem here is that he got his priority mixed up in hurry to grab top post of the nation.
After a clean sweep in Delhi assembly elections Kejriwal thought he would be India’s PM soon had a single point program to abuse PM Modi and holding him responsible for every petty issue.His this attitude was not even liked by his supporters outside his party losing his popularity and credibility.On the other hand in many issues he was seen compromising with corruption inside his party and tried to oust anyone like Yogendra Yadav,Prashant Bhushan and others from party who had differences with him.
