Legislature and bureaucracy are two subjects: Kejriwal to perceive
In a democratic system of government the bureaucracy delivers the governance under the guidance of the legislature. They are portrayed as two legs of a democracy. None of the legs interfere with each other for smooth walking of the government. The legislature tells the law while the bureaucracy enforces that. This is governance in a democracy. Judiciary is the arm of the democracy to act as a watch dog to ensure smooth governance and to interpret the rule of law.
A sex racket raid is a police function. The police is provided with arms to take action and given an Asoka emblem to wear for maintenance of law and order. Legislature may at best order the police for a raid, not to participate in a raid operation. If anybody from either of the wing interferes in their work the governance mal functions. The AAP minister who participated in a sex racket raid is punishable under law. Because unlike police his action in the case will be treated as an interference with some body`s personal liberty.
Aravind Kejriwal was in bureaucracy. He must rise to the occasion. His demand for suspension or transfer of three police officials for not coming to the terms of his Law Minister has demeaned himself and has exposed him bias to save the face of his minister trapped under controversy. He should know the credibility of his demand. Being a Chief Minister, demonstrating against police not only seems bizarre. It shows their inexperience to hold such a coveted constitutional post. The way he acted by putting Delhi as well as his government under siege for a petty demand has no doubt raised eyebrows of the enlightened aam aadmi to consider if the country will be safe in his hands.
'Aam Aadmi' has become a movement in the country to express displeasure with the politicians who have failed in giving desired governance to the aam aadmi( Common man).People irrespective of age, sex, cast and creed started giving equivocal support to Anna Hazare`s ante graft movement. It was not to support Aravind Kejriwal, but the hapless aam aadmi jumped into the fray to support the movement within the existing system, not beyond. Anarchism has no place in democracy. God knows how he could confirmed himself as an anarchist and addressed the police force restricting him , to take leave and join his dharana.
Now the situation has ripened to a never win state for Kejriwal. Even though the three police officials are transferred it will give bad impact on the AAP governance system. Hence by the agitation AAP is surely losing more than it has gained from its agenda.
It is learnt that the Center has toughened its stand on Kejriwals demand and has decided to take any action only after a proper inquiry. Delhi holds the national capital. Constitutionally the Delhi police is under the direct control of the central administration. Because any inaction will have an international impact. Earlier Sheila Dikshit government wanted to take the police under the control of the state, but had to contain in consideration of the national importance. Kejriwal should have referred to those earlier proceedings instead of creating an unprecedented fiasco.
Although Kejriwal had declared slashed electrical tariff only for the poorer mass as a short term arrangement, his government has not yet issued necessary government orders to the concerned departments for the required billing. His much hyped grievance redressal mechanism has proven impractical. Delhi gets water from Haryana. He preferred to skip the Jal Board meeting yesterday which was to be attended by the Haryana Chief Minister than to appease his minister.Kejriwal must get aware that he is alienating more middle class supporters than its followers from the Delhi slums and unauthorized colonies. The enlightened middle class believes in work only. In the case, the underclass versus middle class polarization happens; it may not benefit the AAP, because it is the middle class support that possibly gave a pan-India appeal for AAP. Kejriwal`s perception to be more a rebel than an executive and to be both government and the opposition may likely to put off the educated middle class from perceiving AAP as a genuine alternative to politics as usual.
Delhi has several inherent problems which the earlier Congress government failed to solve. Delhi has become an urban mess devoid of proper drainage system, efficient garbage disposal mechanism and required water supply facility. To prove their capability of taking responsibility to govern Kejriwal should concentrate in delivering his party`s pre election promises in a sustainable way rather than indulging in perpetual agitation by creating enemies from the bureaucracy to the political rivals.
