I do not want to comment much on unpleasant development taking place in Aam Admi Party (AAP) during last few days. There is no doubt in it that AAP got unprecedented landslide victory in Delhi Election held a month ago . People of Delhi will be highly disappointed and feel cheated in the hands of AAP and Mr. Kejriwal if top leaders of AAP behave like leaders of other parties .
Media messages and contents of letter written by internal Lokpal of AAP and that by Mr. Prashant Bhusan make it crystal that there is no unity among party top leaders . Even during election and before announcement of last election , news of inner party rift, lack of discipline, news of misuse of party fund, use of wine for wining election, revolt by party Supremo Mr. Shanti Bhusan lack of cohesiveness and lack of respect for leaders other than Mr. Arvind Kejriwal came to light.
Though Mr. Yogendra Yadav pleads that mutual mud-slinging in the party indicates party's faith in democratic principles, it sends stinking smell outside party's campus. Mr. Sanjay Singh , Mr. Prashant Bhusan, Mr. Yogendra Yadav, and many others are accusing fingers towards others . In no way it may be considered as symptom of healthy democracy in the internal party' set up. In the past too, we have seen how Mr. Binni or Mr. Saza almi criticised AAP and left the party.
Despite all, people of Delhi extended full support to AAP and made Arvind Kejriwal Chief Minister of Delhi. People expressed full faith on Mr. Arvind Kejriwal and trusted ability, honesty and capacity of Mr. Kejriwal. They are now expecting that Mr. Kejriwal and his party will not involve in dirty politics which they used to say about others. It is very easy to for us put blame on others but very difficult to do all good things so that others not put the same blame on us.
In such position it becomes the duty of Mr. Kejriwal to maintain internal discipline, maintain moral standards above dirty politics of other parties, maintain internal cohesive and natural unity and work for people of India unitedly , devotedly and sincerely. It is not important whether AAP spreads it network outside Delhi to become National Party , more important is to prove that they can rule a small state like Delhi without much hallah-bullah. Party leaders should now stop preaching sermons to other political parties on moral standards or party discipline and should introspect whether they are following the same ethics and moral standards which they used to preach others before election.
AAP has to prove by action that they can perform better than other parties and Mr. Kejriwal is duty bound to motivate all leaders of the party to avoid taking help of media to prove their unique features or to keep their personal ego . Interest of party is much above that of individuals . And interest of people of Delhi is above the interest of individuals of the party and the part both. People of Delhi were annoyed on Mr. Kejriwal when he left the post of Chief Minister last time only after 49 days of rule on flimsy ground. This time Mr. Kejriwal should not repeat the sad story of last victory. They should as such stop dreaming becoming National party and stop dreaming of dethroning Mr. Narendra Modi from the post of Prime Minister of India and concentrate on getting full success in their maiden Delhi experiment.
Leaders of Aam Admi Party are once again trying to go against established rules and Constitutional provisions as it tried to supersede and ignore Constitutional provisions during their last tenure when they insisted placing bill related to Jan Lokpal in State Assembly bypassing Lt. Governor of Delhi.
This time top leaders of AAP are insisting central government for posting of a person of their choice Mr. R S Negi as Chief Secretary and have rejected the three options given to them by Central Government. It means they do not have any respect for existing rules for posting of an IAS officer for the post of Chief Secretary. It also means that their success or failure in managing Delhi does not depends on capacity , talent , managerial skill and performing potential of Mr Arvind Kejriwal but on the posting of Mr. R S Negi as Chief Secretary.
Top leaders of AAP want to impose their whims and fancies on central government and choose persons of their choice even if violates the culture of posting seniors for the post of Chief Secretary. Mr. Arvind Kejriwal has powers to change Ministers or appoint any MLA or Non-MLA as Minister but he does not have unregulated powers to promote an officer or to downgrade an officer or to post an officer at higher post ignoring the future of many other senior and talented officers .
Lastly if Mr. Negi is the person who can manage the state better, why not Mr. Kejriwal steps down from the post of Chief Minister and appoint Mr. Negi as Chief Minister. A good manager do not quarrel with his subordinates but try to perform better with available manpower. A good manager tries to understand the quality of existing workforce for adequate time and try to learn how to take work from them .
Otherwise Mr. Kejriwal will prove him at par with persons like Ms Mayawati and Mr Mulayam Singh who use to transfer thousands of officers as soon as they came to power to serve their self interest and to conceal their evil works. . They used officers as their domestic servants and demoralised entire officer cadre due to which the entire administrative and police system is almost paralysed and it is the people of UP who have to suffer due to such unhealthy management of Human Resources.
As such , it is the managerial skill of Mr Kejriwal which will bring success for the party and comfort for the resident of Delhi and he has to learn take work from available work force . He has to stop criticising all officers and humiliating senior officers by insisting a junior officer like Mr. Negi to be posed as Chief Secretary Delhi. After all officers senior to Mr. Negi have not committed any fault or are not proved inferior than Mr. Negi. Mr. Kejriwal has to change his culture of childish rigidity and stop making all petty issues as an attack on his ego. He should stop making petty issues as bone of contention between state and central government.
