TO ALL THE JUDGES OF AAP GOVERNANCE

My opinion is, don't give them 3-4 months for your judgement, judge them everyday, judge every action, they are answerable to all,
BUT
Listen to their answers, don't listen to media's opinion. A lot of us will be thinking that the Delhi cabinet is on Dharna to demand control of Delhi police. But, as per AK's interview over the weekend (here are the links)

they are going to dharna to demand for suspension of the police officers against whom there will be a judicial probe in the midnight raid controversy with Somnath Bharti; and related to two other cases. I am not sure about the law here, but I remember watching in movies that if there is an inquiry against any police office, he/she is suspended till the inquiry is over. That is what AK is demanding, suspension of the officials against whom the inquiry will be done. And yes, here is a little more for the people who think that Somnath Bharti did absolutely wrong that night, and police needs warrant for the raid...
"As Bharti has said, The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 allows a police officer to search premises without a warrant if the officer “has reasonable grounds for believing that an offence punishable under this Act has been or is being committed in respect of a person living in any premises, and that search of the premises with warrant cannot be made without undue delay.” The officer can also “remove from the premises all the persons found therein.” Such a search would require two “respectable inhabitants” of the locality and at least two women police officers to be present."
I have quoted this form the following source - http://preethidumpala.wordpress.com/2014/01/18/how-do-you-think-change-happens/   which infact is another good read. Yes, that blog post has personal opinions, which we may discard, but it has some good facts, which will be useful for us.

Apart from this, they demand control of Delhi Police, but they are not sitting on dharna for that. That is what AK clearly says in his interview, but is not made clear by the news article which we read and pass our judgement that he is not running the government properly.
And frankly, when we say he is not doing his work, we better point out what he is missing in his day's job. Also, most of the judges, you and me, we are like 25-30-35 yr old, have started taking interest in politics probably not more than a year back, have seen some ineffective governance in past, are we really capable to judge? We have only seen how an ineffective government works. We are probably not the best judge. But I believe, we should start judging, but with full information. Not by reading a couple of news articles. Another example, that why we all need to be more responsible is that the media have put photos of AK hugging Kapil Sibal only ( I saw this atleast in TOI), just to make the idea of AAP-Congress nexus stronger. But the truth is, that AK hugged BJP leader also in the same function. It was Eid function. But why should media bother to put the full truth?
My opinion is, if we have to judge, then WE should judge, don't let media judge, don't make your opinion on half news which you get to see. Read/watch the whole story, listen to AAP cabinet before deciding whether they are doing it right or wrong.

Gautam, Maybe someone like you who has stayed under Modi Raj should do that, I am not eligible to comment on Modi. I don't have sufficient information to have a valid opinion on him, though he seems to be a nice guy from as much as I know Gujrat.

I have been moderating comments on my blog, because there were way too many spams on my blog-posts. Any non-spam comment will definitely get published, but I will have to approve so it might take some time to show up.
