Soooo funny. The fun starts with the trust on kejriwul n ends with the sob show. Mark my words, this greedy man came into politics for money n power. That’s what he’s doing.
Very well written and the fact that everyone feels so.
Once I was a dedicated volunteer of this Maroon ! I spends lots of hours and money for my better country. We had a very big group of people and always ready for any adv or campaign. As we don’t had much fund we did many thing on our own. But today almost every one has left or non is interest. He has made the party as any other party.
His present followers are much busy in BJP bashing.
Spreading hate on Indian GOVT even when we are fighting with people like Pakis/China.
They have became a another appeasement policy holder, they are happy to bash Hindu but bleed to point out Non-Hindu.
AK started playing same old Caste and Religion politics.
So on …
It can be viewed to have been predicted in implied form in this Vedic astrology writer’s article -“ Astrologically speaking , some highlights for India in coming year 2018”- published last year at theindiapost.com , simultaneously at on 19 October , 2017. The related text in the article reads as follows :- “ The year 2018 looks to be bringing to focus themes of political , ………………nature for a heightened or sharp analysis or discussion. Such analysis or discussion could also pave way for new enactments or judicial pronouncements having far reaching significance or value , covering issues related to women , religion and political class”. At another place , some States have been indicated where prediction can have a more focus during 2018 , more so in July-August 2018. Delhi is one among those States. Further , the article also reads as : -“ Mid-March to 31 May 2018. ………Those involved in decision making or governance of big enterprises or big organizations or think-tanks in the Govt , could be prone to errors or fault-lines or controversies giving rise to need for revision or amendment”. Thus it can be said that the political upheaval in Delhi Govt could be well read between the lines as implied.
3-4 years of jugglery in activity is called a generation…ops. Generation is something which is at-least 50 years and above. So leaving infosys makes this guy some coldcake. Man its your life and AK is just 49… If he does mistakes, he will learn from it, if he wants to. Or else he too will go to thin air or into the blush garden as per his fate.
And please be a bit more respectful to dissent … terming an opposition as AAPtard is not something that will show Swaraj Abhiyan in positive light . I respect ur fight (which is just for the sake of it without any hope of bringing about any change ) but let that not blindside you all from fights still being continued by many many volunteers at AAP who are still holding againeest insurmountable odds in the belief that they will not let the ship go down. Respect fight of those fighters as well. Please.
Coming from a runaway swarajist I expected nothing short of this “murder of hope “ stmt … but I am surprised why Swaraj Abhiyan not able to leave even a dent on the politics of it had so capable leaders like YY and PB within it? Did it win even a single seat? How the heck you plan to bring out even an iota of change without being in power ? Anna Hazare movements don’t occur everyday , remember that . You disappointment about the ups and downs it took during the journey is granted . But claiming itself as representative of generation .. that goes a bit too far and sounds ultra egoistic .. Strong condemnation towards that stmt. Yes I do agree to the point that it did kill hope for SWaraj team.
Arvind is still doing his job everyday in Delhi even with all the state machinery primed to work against AAP. If being practical, doing political compromises and removing un trustworthy members is “murdering hopes of a generation” then maybe that generation was not worth providing hope.
A very predictable pattern; the last word on the comments section always come from an AAPtard, but these petty tactics do NOT convince. SHRI Arvind Kejriwal – whose ego is bigger than his brain – is just one run-off-the-mill politician who has NO spine, but only shenanigans.
A very accurately worded statement true to the heart. After the BJP swung to victory in 2014, it had seemed impossible that it couldn’t ever lose in DELHI, but AK made it possible then. Moreover, truth be said that the BJP never won the 2014 election riding on Namo’s jumla campaign, but only because of Anna and AK’s anticampaign against the incumbent Congress . After AK’s historic win in Delhi, it had appeared that if Namo had been able to captivate the young voters by dint of hate campaign against the Congress , AK had been able to niche a clear way out of corrupt politics in the heart of political intellectuals. Alas! He himself jeopardized his own career.
It is an article which is aimed at taking personal frustrations out. What surprises me that the writer and quite a lot of a people in the nation still believe that you need to be completely honest and do everything above board while you have a machinery which is perfected for last 70 years to contend with. 33 Defamation cases, 40 Bills pending for signing, Police and administrative departs trying their best to scuttle you, innumerable attempts to gain power in a coup and we still expect him to take everything and expect him to provide a good governance at the same time ???????
When he sticks to his guns, we hear, he is not a mature politician, When he behaves like one, we say, how can he do that? The author lauds the decision to resign after 49 days, the same decision for which many criticised, So what should AK do? Try to listen to everybody who can’t agree to anything?
Arvind has shown a maturity to focus on the work he has responsibility for in circumstances which are extremely difficult. He needs to be given due credit for what he has picked up and fought through the rot which has been set for ages.
That’s pretty clear , especially in light of the fact that he is member of Swaraj Abhiyan , which is actually furling it’s existance on the very base of anti-AAP hate campaign . What’s more laughable is the claim of representing whole generation while writing the article. It shows the shallowness of the writer and the seriousness of the stmts made as part of the writeup
Agree with most of the article except why apology to Majithia is a mistake. I believe it in right direction as too much time was being wasted in litigation and politics cannot and should not be accomplished through the courts. I however, feel that Arvind did not deal with bureaucracy maturedly and that should be rated as one of his biggest mistakes. He should have known that he being one of them, they will certainly try to put him down.
His excellent works with Mohalla Clinics and in Education and curbing corruption by making a lot of things online also should not be ignored. He should keep his mouth shut and eyes and ears open.
Agree to most of ur observation. Mess up with bureaucracy was really mistake number one.
The problem with some of the so called middle n upper middle is that they think they r always right. Same is the problem with this infy guy. Kejriwal showed Indians a possible dream. What percentage of Indians voted for him outside delhi? Politics need money….how many ppl gave money to his party? All the cases r against him…is anyone paying for those n he is wasting a lot of time in court. He had no other choice but to get rid of them. Hats off to the guy for dreaming big n almost pulling it off. We all know that bjp is not allowing him to work because they know if he succeeds then no one can stop him from ruling india. He needs one full state to rule not a half state like delhi. Arvind….continue with ur good job.
Comment:just lutein presstitute media n their bloggers start crying to nullify khujlee effect from public . one fake twitter who is in such party who support jnu tukade tukade gang come here for rudauli cry for former party n his ex boss tug. but now every indian knows them n their masters who ultimately link. with pappu.
As we all know that people in this nation have the Fundamental rights in which “Right to speak” is one. I personally feel every one of us should support when someone is expressing their feelings which has come from their pains of sacrifices, may be small or big for the cause of development of the nation not for their own.
Today our generation would be the third or fourth after Independence. Our past generation have said INDIA IS A DEVELOPING COUNTRY and TODAY WE SAY THE SAME. Our next generation will also say the same, and can anyone confirm when our country be called as DEVELOPED NATION.
For example watch our neighbour China, before 2000 & after 2000. It has a made a strong impact on the World economy.
So for a country to develop a good leadership is required and for the leadership many such people’s support is needed. In this process any such citizen(s) find a hope in any such leader(s) and support him/them by sacrificing themselves for a good cause we should extend our support for his/her sacrifices but not criticise. If such people expose the brutality of those selfish leaders the nation will punish them.
My humble request to you all is if we find any article truly exposing the facts of any leader or party who have betrayed the sacrifices of this nation should be positively supported so as to inspire many others. By humiliating their emotions will be damaging to our own development.
** Any such article should be supported with proofs/documents.
This is inevitable if inspite of knowing the history of Indian left (Congress, Commies and their ilk) which is replete with corruption scandals, incompetence, inefficiency, nepotism, communalism/secularism (consolidate minority religions and break Hindus) one foolishly decides to back another leftist like Kejri without understanding his political leanings, knowing about his handlers etc…such akal ke dushman AAPtards ought to suffer..
Kezari was a number one cheate,why the Infosys man took so much time to understand that kezari is a crook ,not only he murdered the generation as u said,he spoiled the development of Delhi,the capital of India,by seeing his face cut and actions one can understand aravind was a cheap cheete politician
This man has fought for Delhi people even BJP has created many huddle in there path. When he was looking for support from Delhi in MCD election nobody comes forward. Blind bhakti will lead our country to major downfall. Why would he fought for us, when we are not supporting him. It is easy to say and write. If you really guts stand for him
Dear writer , what do you want to prove from your letter, perhaps you have the hope of kejru will do something good ? I was bored to death hence stopped reading your letter half the way. Get a life and stop writing letters like this u r wasting ur time and others reading this letter.
Arvind should take a leaf out of mahatma Gandhi. Hand over the CM to manish, get YY & PB back in. Launch a nationwide tour to connect with masses in all states and make AAP a national force by 2024.
Anyone who asks someone else to apologise to the likes of Bhushan & Ramdass needs to get his head checked. No wonder the AAP dream became a nightmare for most….
It appears unfortunate things are happening in AAP. But don’t forget the fiercy man named AK contributions. Let him learn politics, may be for future it would be good.
We knew from the very first day of AAP revolution that this party will give no result. The party and it’s young and not so young folks were too busy with their narcissus complex so far as their
no- corruption image was concerned . As if nothing else matters. Saw a comedy picture long years back ‘Open Government’ . Secretary of the Govt. Dept asked his Minister ‘ Are you serious sir ‘. AAP story is almost like that.
You left AAP in 2015 and are suddenly awake. You were not concerned when democracy was being murdered in Delhi since 3 years vide LG, CBI, Delhi Police etc. When cases were filed only to harass and drain resources. If you were sleeping since 3 years then better remain that way instead of poking the dirty nose now. AAP is and will keep fighting the corrupt system the way they seem fit and not the way escapists like you think so.
So why apologise. Why NOT keep fighting? Why NOT go through the full legal cycle? Does Kejriwal have faith in anything at all? Faith in legislature ZERO. Faith in executive ZERO. Faith in judiciary ZERO. Faith in JUNTA ZERO!!!!!
There is no point in displaying your irritation with the author. This is typical AAP mentality.
And adding to this, faith in his own self. What does he stand for except the ranting of his followers who claim that he holds a moral high ground. How, may we ask??
Even many of us here who could see through his facade and long stopped having any hopes from him feel betrayed. Just that our sense of betrayal is accompanied by disgust.
How come just a Dissapointed person of Ex Infosis brand , Generalized his own opinion with people of higher dedication n committment. It is good that he was with AAP but there r thousands who quit midway simillarly loosing patience n committment.
It is a self proclaimed honour that he being ex Infosis has something extra to serve. There r unbranded workers, who having contributed much more r still strenthening. The very identity shows his personation n possibly not being an Aam Aadmi.
AAP has to go a long way facing all theses situations n One has to keep trusting the team if has the urge to go.
Anything having the potential of diverting fm focus area of AAP has to be dealt with appropriately.
Even myself was sad to loose YY n PB but focus is important.
If there was one piece that summed up all I had to say about AAP, this is it. I know what pain you would have gone through in writing this. God bless you and AK. May we see return of the old AK.
Arvind should take real issue eg. Unemployment & Simplified Taxation.

Good article, kejriwal betrayed the sentiments of generation He betrayed Icon Anna, founder members Shashi bhushan, Prashant, Prof Anand Kumar Yoginder Yadav and Million others. He accused others and came in power with the word to give good alternative governence. Now what type of governence is he giving? His hypocrisy is fully exposed. The article is revealing utter truth.
Good article, but from the day one I thought this man is too cunning and making a fool of others, some sort of second rate communist movement without any core ideology. Educated youths of India, ever too eager to change the world, jumped into this. It can still work I guess, this man should resign from all position of power to start with, bringing back YY and PB and others with brains to formality define AAP core ideology etc.
I disagreed with the India Against Corruption movement volunteers forming a political party. This movement was based on the strength of the corruption free characters that worked with the crusader Anna Hazare. By rolling out a political party on the strength of their association with the movement they made the first blunder if removal of corruption was the idea. No political party can afford to be idealistic. They have to be flexible enough to build consensus to arrive at practical and implantable solutions. In the process there will be compromises which will dilute their moral high ground. And slowly they would loss credibility and become like any other. The fall would be steep and that exactly what is happening. AAP was doomed from the beginning. In the process they have destroyed the IAC movement.
Even before he fought elections, ‘bhagoda’ and ‘opportunist’ were written large in his forehead. Don’t know how the people of Delhi and people like you fell for him. The whole of India didn’t believe him. Only Delhi and the media which like to play up the underdog, with their hatred for Modi believed him. Eat the humble pie.
Spot on!! The people of Delhi proved that they are suckers for freebies and grand promises with no realistic plans for execution and hence elected him for a second term. Their blind hatred towards Modi did them in. None of the stupid, blind AAP supporters have had the guts to question Mr.Kejriwal on several things such as: what happened to that ‘170 pages report’ on the corruptions of his predecessor? What happened to the LokPal bill that ended up being a joke pal bill? What happened to the 15 Lakh CCTV cameras that were promised to be installed? How on earth did Kejri promised “free” water to all people? Who will pay for the freebies that he kept on announcing?
Both the party leader and the followers lack the basics of economics – nothing comes for free, someone, somewhere has to pay for it. And yet they thought they will create a utopian state out of nothing.
the every single word is 100% true in anna andolan we also participate …but now it gone in wrong direction
He came to power with a lot of goodwill and many people honestly believed that here is a man who will make a difference in politics. Instead, he did all wrong things obsessed with his new found glory and power, alienated and threw out all those who made a name for the party. The damage is done and now only a miracle can rescue this party. He wanted to be a Hitler and conquer the world, but failed miserably. This is a classic case of one man’s arrogance and hunger for power destroying a party.
What i am seeing these days? When i first heard the name of A.K i thought this is a man can change things and because he is from revenue service ,he must have knowledge of basic Indian problems and solutions . Now also i believe he is learning things , he will definitely back strongly after so many allegations made against him. Sir , you are the hope for many educated Indians. Please do not do any activity which hurt your fans and dreamers .
How many CMs have apologised as yet for the good or bad politics.How many CMs have resigned to serve people better.How many CMs of Delhi or rest of India got audit done.none.How many CMs worked and threw his ministers out of parliament. How many CMs have to beg the little opposition who laugh and stop from the functioning of a elected govt.
All should ask themself ,then believe that AK is completely killed AAP volunteers or wellwishers.
The article is great weiting but the heading is misplaced. Experience teaches a man to watch his steps. You were foolish like many other inexperienced foolish young men who joined AAP and felt betrayed. Commonsense tells if a person is ungreatful to any one , it is in his DNA. Kejriwal betrayed Anna, considered himself above everyone, knowing the state of Delhi and it’s problems of operations, he could have done wonders if he had gone by the rule books. It is people like you who make a man God out of nothing and throw him in a dustbin in a fit of a rage. Please, repeat Please, don’t talk of the generation, just talk of you getting betrayed and your frustration.
He has exposed himself as weak ,coward and psychopath and egostic has betrayed crores of Indians and has become synonymous for fixer in public life having complete disregards for values in public as well as personal life
The author of the article is living in fool’s paradise. For defamation apologies, AK has not consulted even his newly elected RS member Sanjay Singh. AK can’t give up his CM post to anyone. Also, he is not loosing Delhi in near future. He is selfish to the core. Period.
Sentimental and judgemental. Why don’t you take the initiative and earn the leadership of AAP? Arvind Kejriwal has limitations and that’s what makes him real. Good and bad decisions are not the measure of a person’s character. Neither do they determine one’s best intentions. You are talking of a bad king in Democracy!
This is more of an imotional and impatient kind of reaction. You need to be practical if you want really good things happen in politics and AK doing the practical things I think.
As I know AAP Pune unit and volunteered for 2014 General Election, AAP never played with people’s emotions. Always tried to create awareness what is right, practical and needed. So who ever think AAP is or was a hope, should keep patience and faith in yourself. Otherwise game of political “Jumalas” and “sentiments” are not new to our country.
He is in apology mode.he knows that he will not win another term.the another parties will not leave him.the corruption he has done they Will come after him. He is a jackal showing different face.if he can betray Anna he can betray any one. He wasn’t trustworthy.
Neeraj is right in reveling the truth but not totally correct. When AAP threw PB and YY much intellectual, scholoristic and devoted leaders from the party it was painful for follower and supporters like us. Without them we could not think about the AAP and AAP paid the cost of removal of those leaders. Still we trust in Kejriwal, Manish because they have people like Ashutosh, Raghav, Atishi and few others. They did great job in the field of education and health dispite of many obstacle. But Kejriwal lost most of the time fighting with wall.
This episode of apology from people against whom he was fighting seems that Kejriwal became a professional politician like others. This is really shameful but not for Kejriwal because he has many execuse s but for the people like us who supported him.
Rashmi JI – With due respect, a visionary leader with high degree of integrity and conviction stays steadfast on his/her principles, philosophy and ideology. That is what we all assumed SHRI Arvind Kejriwal was (a steadfast Gandhi type leader, not a run-of-the-mill politician that populate the political sphere). It is NOT paid media that destroyed SHRI Arvind Kejriwal’s image, it is he himself who has been signing apology letters. Yes, we all hope another 2.0 will happen soon, but also hope that it is NOT SHRI Arvind Kejriwal 2.0.
Arvind apni ….. Khud marega. Yeh apne aap ko bahut chalak samajhta hai. Ham haise log jo ye samajhte hain chalo kuchh theek kar raha hoga. Lekin ye saala bahut hi kameena aur makkari pe tula hai. Saale sudhar nahi to ham jaise log lat mar denge. Aur tumahri chaalaki g…. Me ghus jaigi. Sale tere favour me hum debate karte the ab tera name lene me sharm aati hai hai. Tu is had tak apne aap ko gira diya. Besharam. Kachra sala.
It’s really hard to digest the indication about the political death of Arvind Kejriwal.
His lack of mental stability, lack of focus with consistency and lack of faith on the his party people, resulted in into such environment.
But why arvind behaving this way, he is definitely not corrupt but it seems he has adjustment issues with colleagues. It’s amazing why he is apolozising Gadkari like corrupt politicians? What’s forcing him to do this? He shd explain to public before he is doing all this silly acts. Apolozising Arun jaitley is just atrocious who damaged the country with bank scams. Something is seriously going wrong with arvind it seems.He shd mend his ways immdtly before it’s too late. He shd apolozise public n not corrupt politicians. Niranjan
He is showing his true colors . AAP followers have been blind , some of them are still . Good to see they coming to ground after what was so clearly visible to everyone , Arvind is indeed power hungry corrupt man.
Perfectly summarized.
I will say have faith and be positive. every one commits mistake and he is new to politics if you can’t have faith then don’t expect any thing from him because every thing needs time and he is giving better then other politicians and it’s Delhi the govt has power better then UT but less then state.
Today Thousands of youth are joining AAP, and giving thr precious time for the people ….. And here comes a person from Infosys an Outsourcing Company which has done no innovation and led to mushrooming of Engineering colleges churning students for outsourced jobs with ZERO CREATIVITY.
What culture he must be carrying with him, good riddance….
So as per you author’s shortcomings are
1. He is from Infosys.
2. Since he’s from Infosys he won’t have any creativity.
Since you are not from Infosys you have all the creativity .
Use your creativity to give such responses and show what is really left in aap.
You are doing a great favour to nation exposing what is l ft in AAP.
Employ your creativity for such good deeds.
Too cynical. Get a life.
Too generalistic as well, speak for yourself and not the entire generation. You were stupid enough to expect too mich out of a novice and I believe with the bjp at centre and non-statehood of Delhi, what he did was really the beat he cpuld to survive and deliver onto the promisis made in the political mandate.
Suit yourself, but dont be stupid enough to generalise.
No apologising needed, it wont help anyway.
Really hope Arvind comes back and shoves his victory in ur face.
And why are you so angry? You won’t understand the plight of a youngster who sacrificed his carrier for AAP.
So please restrain yourself. More than the writer you need to get a life.
What’s wrong with you ? You are the one here who needs to get a life , Author wrote it from his heart and made good points . You are calling him stupid to trust AAP and hoping for the same in the end.
Even after all the numerous U turns by your political master who just used a man like Anna Hazare and threw all his morals to the wind you still dream of him coming back to power! That explains the debacle of the megalomaniac called Arvind Kejriwal and his eventual degradation to being a political nobody. He was always surrounded by sycophants who could never see the reality but supported him blindly even he committed atrocious blunders. I think you need to get a life than the writer…
About to shove?
Agree completely. AAP was a great idea and Kejriwal killed it. If Kejriwal is not self correcting using the steps suggested in this article, may be the way forward could be to chuck him and his coterie out of AAP and reinvent AAP.
Wonderful letter. I wish this letter is made mandatory reading for every journalist who gave free publicity to AAP. It was large sections of the media that drummed up Arvind Kejriwal and AAP and made them popular. They should introspect and wonder why let go of their professional duties and choose to become cheerleaders instead.
Title is unnecessarily distopian. Don’t attribute your feelings to a whole generation. There is always hope… change is coming… albeit a bit slower than we wanted.
Agree with the title. Given the history of India where many got killed for the throne of Delhi ranging from Mughals to British empire, I cried like a baby when I saw an ordinary Indian traveling in local train to claim the throne. Being very optimistic, I was hoping for something like a French Revolution. It was a love affair with Mr. Kejriwal and now it’s like a divorce where I don’t want to see his face or hear his name. You cost India way too much.
It is too big a statement “murder of a generations hope”. I agree next leader will have tougher time establishing. It was foolish of the author to put full trust in some one who is new to politics. I was inspired and hopeful AAP succeeds in politics. I did spend time reading their book Swarajya.
Fortunately my instincts were strong and I did not vote for AAP. Majority of country also did not trust AAP. AAP is learning politics and will take few more terms in government to learn the basics of politics. Till that time whoever joins with blind faith will leave with a bitter taste.
Straight from the heart and very well articulated. Agree with everything in the article. I too was among a minuscule minority who believed that the resignation after 49 days was the right decision. But the widespread criticism of that decision probably changed Arvind Kejriwal. And he has only himself to blame. Truly, he has murdered a generation’s hope.
Soooo funny. The fun starts with the trust on kejriwul n ends with the sob show. Mark my words, this greedy man came into politics for money n power. That’s what he’s doing.
Arvind is a socialist marxist thinker and he is doing the best he can under the circumstances.
Kisi kutte ko abhi aaj publicity chahiye to use arvind ke khilaf bolna chahiye., Indian media dikhana shuru kar deta h….alas print is doing the same.
Very well written and the fact that everyone feels so.
Once I was a dedicated volunteer of this Maroon ! I spends lots of hours and money for my better country. We had a very big group of people and always ready for any adv or campaign. As we don’t had much fund we did many thing on our own. But today almost every one has left or non is interest. He has made the party as any other party.
His present followers are much busy in BJP bashing.
Spreading hate on Indian GOVT even when we are fighting with people like Pakis/China.
They have became a another appeasement policy holder, they are happy to bash Hindu but bleed to point out Non-Hindu.
AK started playing same old Caste and Religion politics.
So on …
It can be viewed to have been predicted in implied form in this Vedic astrology writer’s article -“ Astrologically speaking , some highlights for India in coming year 2018”- published last year at theindiapost.com , simultaneously at on 19 October , 2017.

At another place , some States have been indicated where prediction can have a more focus during 2018 , more so in July-August 2018. Delhi is one among those States. Further , the article also reads as : -“ Mid-March to 31 May 2018. ………Those involved in decision making or governance of big enterprises or big organizations or think-tanks in the Govt , could be prone to errors or fault-lines or controversies giving rise to need for revision or amendment”. Thus it can be said that the political upheaval in Delhi Govt could be well read between the lines as implied.
3-4 years of jugglery in activity is called a generation…ops. Generation is something which is at-least 50 years and above. So leaving infosys makes this guy some coldcake. Man its your life and AK is just 49… If he does mistakes, he will learn from it, if he wants to. Or else he too will go to thin air or into the blush garden as per his fate.
And please be a bit more respectful to dissent … terming an opposition as AAPtard is not something that will show Swaraj Abhiyan in positive light . I respect ur fight (which is just for the sake of it without any hope of bringing about any change ) but let that not blindside you all from fights still being continued by many many volunteers at AAP who are still holding againeest insurmountable odds in the belief that they will not let the ship go down. Respect fight of those fighters as well. Please.
Coming from a runaway swarajist I expected nothing short of this “murder of hope “ stmt … but I am surprised why Swaraj Abhiyan not able to leave even a dent on the politics of it had so capable leaders like YY and PB within it? Did it win even a single seat? How the heck you plan to bring out even an iota of change without being in power ? Anna Hazare movements don’t occur everyday , remember that . You disappointment about the ups and downs it took during the journey is granted . But claiming itself as representative of generation .. that goes a bit too far and sounds ultra egoistic .. Strong condemnation towards that stmt. Yes I do agree to the point that it did kill hope for SWaraj team.
Arvind is still doing his job everyday in Delhi even with all the state machinery primed to work against AAP. If being practical, doing political compromises and removing un trustworthy members is “murdering hopes of a generation” then maybe that generation was not worth providing hope.
A very predictable pattern; the last word on the comments section always come from an AAPtard, but these petty tactics do NOT convince. SHRI Arvind Kejriwal – whose ego is bigger than his brain – is just one run-off-the-mill politician who has NO spine, but only shenanigans.

Arvind has shown a maturity to focus on the work he has responsibility for in circumstances which are extremely difficult. He needs to be given due credit for what he has picked up and fought through the rot which has been set for ages.
agree
That’s pretty clear , especially in light of the fact that he is member of Swaraj Abhiyan , which is actually furling it’s existance on the very base of anti-AAP hate campaign . What’s more laughable is the claim of representing whole generation while writing the article. It shows the shallowness of the writer and the seriousness of the stmts made as part of the writeup

He should have known that he being one of them, they will certainly try to put him down.
His excellent works with Mohalla Clinics and in Education and curbing corruption by making a lot of things online also should not be ignored. He should keep his mouth shut and eyes and ears open.
Agree to most of ur observation. Mess up with bureaucracy was really mistake number one.
The problem with some of the so called middle n upper middle is that they think they r always right. Same is the problem with this infy guy. Kejriwal showed Indians a possible dream. What percentage of Indians voted for him outside delhi? Politics need money….how many ppl gave money to his party? All the cases r against him…is anyone paying for those n he is wasting a lot of time in court. He had no other choice but to get rid of them. Hats off to the guy for dreaming big n almost pulling it off. We all know that bjp is not allowing him to work because they know if he succeeds then no one can stop him from ruling india. He needs one full state to rule not a half state like delhi. Arvind….continue with ur good job.
Comment:just lutein presstitute media n their bloggers start crying to nullify khujlee effect from public . one fake twitter who is in such party who support jnu tukade tukade gang come here for rudauli cry for former party n his ex boss tug. but now every indian knows them n their masters who ultimately link. with pappu.
To
The People,
Republic of India.
As we all know that people in this nation have the Fundamental rights in which “Right to speak” is one. I personally feel every one of us should support when someone is expressing their feelings which has come from their pains of sacrifices, may be small or big for the cause of development of the nation not for their own.
Today our generation would be the third or fourth after Independence. Our past generation have said INDIA IS A DEVELOPING COUNTRY and TODAY WE SAY THE SAME. Our next generation will also say the same, and can anyone confirm when our country be called as DEVELOPED NATION.
For example watch our neighbour China, before 2000 & after 2000. It has a made a strong impact on the World economy.
So for a country to develop a good leadership is required and for the leadership many such people’s support is needed. In this process any such citizen(s) find a hope in any such leader(s) and support him/them by sacrificing themselves for a good cause we should extend our support for his/her sacrifices but not criticise. If such people expose the brutality of those selfish leaders the nation will punish them.
My humble request to you all is if we find any article truly exposing the facts of any leader or party who have betrayed the sacrifices of this nation should be positively supported so as to inspire many others. By humiliating their emotions will be damaging to our own development.
** Any such article should be supported with proofs/documents.
Regards
A Citizen
Republic of India.
This is inevitable if inspite of knowing the history of Indian left (Congress, Commies and their ilk) which is replete with corruption scandals, incompetence, inefficiency, nepotism, communalism/secularism (consolidate minority religions and break Hindus) one foolishly decides to back another leftist like Kejri without understanding his political leanings, knowing about his handlers etc…such akal ke dushman AAPtards ought to suffer..
Kezari was a number one cheate,why the Infosys man took so much time to understand that kezari is a crook ,not only he murdered the generation as u said,he spoiled the development of Delhi,the capital of India,by seeing his face cut and actions one can understand aravind was a cheap cheete politician
This man has fought for Delhi people even BJP has created many huddle in there path. When he was looking for support from Delhi in MCD election nobody comes forward. Blind bhakti will lead our country to major downfall. Why would he fought for us, when we are not supporting him. It is easy to say and write. If you really guts stand for him
Dear writer , what do you want to prove from your letter, perhaps you have the hope of kejru will do something good ? I was bored to death hence stopped reading your letter half the way. Get a life and stop writing letters like this u r wasting ur time and others reading this letter.
Arvind should take a leaf out of mahatma Gandhi. Hand over the CM to manish, get YY & PB back in. Launch a nationwide tour to connect with masses in all states and make AAP a national force by 2024.
Anyone who asks someone else to apologise to the likes of Bhushan & Ramdass needs to get his head checked. No wonder the AAP dream became a nightmare for most….
Swaraj Abhiyan. That says it all. You were part of the conspiracy PB and YY had hatched yo oust Arvind in his momnt of victory.
It appears unfortunate things are happening in AAP. But don’t forget the fiercy man named AK contributions. Let him learn politics, may be for future it would be good.
We knew from the very first day of AAP revolution that this party will give no result. The party and it’s young and not so young folks were too busy with their narcissus complex so far as their
no- corruption image was concerned . As if nothing else matters. Saw a comedy picture long years back ‘Open Government’ . Secretary of the Govt. Dept asked his Minister ‘ Are you serious sir ‘. AAP story is almost like that.
I will appreciate AAP for apologize, otherwise these people were getting publicity.
Now AAP can work without obstacles.
I will thanks AAP for murdering opposition.
No political party member should hesitate for apology from other member of political party or public.
Everyone should extend apology, if other is not happy with others behavior.
100 % Agree with each and every point.
AK is about to die…
You left AAP in 2015 and are suddenly awake. You were not concerned when democracy was being murdered in Delhi since 3 years vide LG, CBI, Delhi Police etc. When cases were filed only to harass and drain resources. If you were sleeping since 3 years then better remain that way instead of poking the dirty nose now. AAP is and will keep fighting the corrupt system the way they seem fit and not the way escapists like you think so.
So why apologise. Why NOT keep fighting? Why NOT go through the full legal cycle? Does Kejriwal have faith in anything at all? Faith in legislature ZERO. Faith in executive ZERO. Faith in judiciary ZERO. Faith in JUNTA ZERO!!!!!
There is no point in displaying your irritation with the author. This is typical AAP mentality.
And adding to this, faith in his own self. What does he stand for except the ranting of his followers who claim that he holds a moral high ground. How, may we ask??
Even many of us here who could see through his facade and long stopped having any hopes from him feel betrayed. Just that our sense of betrayal is accompanied by disgust.
How come just a Dissapointed person of Ex Infosis brand , Generalized his own opinion with people of higher dedication n committment. It is good that he was with AAP but there r thousands who quit midway simillarly loosing patience n committment.
It is a self proclaimed honour that he being ex Infosis has something extra to serve. There r unbranded workers, who having contributed much more r still strenthening. The very identity shows his personation n possibly not being an Aam Aadmi.
AAP has to go a long way facing all theses situations n One has to keep trusting the team if has the urge to go.
Anything having the potential of diverting fm focus area of AAP has to be dealt with appropriately.
Even myself was sad to loose YY n PB but focus is important.
If there was one piece that summed up all I had to say about AAP, this is it. I know what pain you would have gone through in writing this. God bless you and AK. May we see return of the old AK.
Arvind should take real issue eg. Unemployment & Simplified Taxation.

Good article, kejriwal betrayed the sentiments of generation He betrayed Icon Anna, founder members Shashi bhushan, Prashant, Prof Anand Kumar Yoginder Yadav and Million others. He accused others and came in power with the word to give good alternative governence. Now what type of governence is he giving? His hypocrisy is fully exposed. The article is revealing utter truth.
He used people raised their hopes only to let them down. In the end it was a dark comedy.
Good article, but from the day one I thought this man is too cunning and making a fool of others, some sort of second rate communist movement without any core ideology. Educated youths of India, ever too eager to change the world, jumped into this. It can still work I guess, this man should resign from all position of power to start with, bringing back YY and PB and others with brains to formality define AAP core ideology etc.
I disagreed with the India Against Corruption movement volunteers forming a political party. This movement was based on the strength of the corruption free characters that worked with the crusader Anna Hazare. By rolling out a political party on the strength of their association with the movement they made the first blunder if removal of corruption was the idea. No political party can afford to be idealistic. They have to be flexible enough to build consensus to arrive at practical and implantable solutions. In the process there will be compromises which will dilute their moral high ground. And slowly they would loss credibility and become like any other. The fall would be steep and that exactly what is happening. AAP was doomed from the beginning. In the process they have destroyed the IAC movement.
lust for power & money manufactures like this
Even before he fought elections, ‘bhagoda’ and ‘opportunist’ were written large in his forehead. Don’t know how the people of Delhi and people like you fell for him. The whole of India didn’t believe him. Only Delhi and the media which like to play up the underdog, with their hatred for Modi believed him. Eat the humble pie.
Spot on!! The people of Delhi proved that they are suckers for freebies and grand promises with no realistic plans for execution and hence elected him for a second term. Their blind hatred towards Modi did them in. None of the stupid, blind AAP supporters have had the guts to question Mr.Kejriwal on several things such as: what happened to that ‘170 pages report’ on the corruptions of his predecessor? What happened to the LokPal bill that ended up being a joke pal bill? What happened to the 15 Lakh CCTV cameras that were promised to be installed? How on earth did Kejri promised “free” water to all people? Who will pay for the freebies that he kept on announcing?
Both the party leader and the followers lack the basics of economics – nothing comes for free, someone, somewhere has to pay for it. And yet they thought they will create a utopian state out of nothing.
the every single word is 100% true in anna andolan we also participate …but now it gone in wrong direction
He came to power with a lot of goodwill and many people honestly believed that here is a man who will make a difference in politics. Instead, he did all wrong things obsessed with his new found glory and power, alienated and threw out all those who made a name for the party. The damage is done and now only a miracle can rescue this party. He wanted to be a Hitler and conquer the world, but failed miserably. This is a classic case of one man’s arrogance and hunger for power destroying a party.
Wonderfully weaved. True to the heading. Hats off.
You stupid jerks, you still believe this guy will mend his ways?
He has been crooked right from the beginning.
Exactly….. people never change, its just that the mask falls off. However permanent residents of fool’s paradise will never realize it.
This is either a “very” inspired piece of writing or by a person who has nothing against the rotten judiciary but only finds all ills in Kejriwal.
No man, the whole generation was not stupid enough to vote for AAP but only Delhites.
What i am seeing these days? When i first heard the name of A.K i thought this is a man can change things and because he is from revenue service ,he must have knowledge of basic Indian problems and solutions . Now also i believe he is learning things , he will definitely back strongly after so many allegations made against him. Sir , you are the hope for many educated Indians. Please do not do any activity which hurt your fans and dreamers .
How many CMs have apologised as yet for the good or bad politics.How many CMs have resigned to serve people better.How many CMs of Delhi or rest of India got audit done.none.How many CMs worked and threw his ministers out of parliament. How many CMs have to beg the little opposition who laugh and stop from the functioning of a elected govt.
All should ask themself ,then believe that AK is completely killed AAP volunteers or wellwishers.
The article is great weiting but the heading is misplaced. Experience teaches a man to watch his steps. You were foolish like many other inexperienced foolish young men who joined AAP and felt betrayed. Commonsense tells if a person is ungreatful to any one , it is in his DNA. Kejriwal betrayed Anna, considered himself above everyone, knowing the state of Delhi and it’s problems of operations, he could have done wonders if he had gone by the rule books. It is people like you who make a man God out of nothing and throw him in a dustbin in a fit of a rage. Please, repeat Please, don’t talk of the generation, just talk of you getting betrayed and your frustration.
He has exposed himself as weak ,coward and psychopath and egostic has betrayed crores of Indians and has become synonymous for fixer in public life having complete disregards for values in public as well as personal life
The author of the article is living in fool’s paradise. For defamation apologies, AK has not consulted even his newly elected RS member Sanjay Singh. AK can’t give up his CM post to anyone. Also, he is not loosing Delhi in near future. He is selfish to the core. Period.
A naive neo-politician’s self confession……….. nothing more than that
Sentimental and judgemental. Why don’t you take the initiative and earn the leadership of AAP? Arvind Kejriwal has limitations and that’s what makes him real. Good and bad decisions are not the measure of a person’s character. Neither do they determine one’s best intentions. You are talking of a bad king in Democracy!
This Guy is Drunk. Even if he says he’s an insider. What he’s writing is Utter Bullshit.
This is more of an imotional and impatient kind of reaction. You need to be practical if you want really good things happen in politics and AK doing the practical things I think.
As I know AAP Pune unit and volunteered for 2014 General Election, AAP never played with people’s emotions. Always tried to create awareness what is right, practical and needed. So who ever think AAP is or was a hope, should keep patience and faith in yourself. Otherwise game of political “Jumalas” and “sentiments” are not new to our country.
He is in apology mode.he knows that he will not win another term.the another parties will not leave him.the corruption he has done they Will come after him. He is a jackal showing different face.if he can betray Anna he can betray any one. He wasn’t trustworthy.
Neeraj is right in reveling the truth but not totally correct. When AAP threw PB and YY much intellectual, scholoristic and devoted leaders from the party it was painful for follower and supporters like us. Without them we could not think about the AAP and AAP paid the cost of removal of those leaders. Still we trust in Kejriwal, Manish because they have people like Ashutosh, Raghav, Atishi and few others. They did great job in the field of education and health dispite of many obstacle. But Kejriwal lost most of the time fighting with wall.
This episode of apology from people against whom he was fighting seems that Kejriwal became a professional politician like others. This is really shameful but not for Kejriwal because he has many execuse s but for the people like us who supported him.
We still have hope that one day we will meet Arvind Kejriwal 2.0 which will change indian politics once again. Your image was destroyed by paid media…
Rashmi JI – With due respect, a visionary leader with high degree of integrity and conviction stays steadfast on his/her principles, philosophy and ideology. That is what we all assumed SHRI Arvind Kejriwal was (a steadfast Gandhi type leader, not a run-of-the-mill politician that populate the political sphere). It is NOT paid media that destroyed SHRI Arvind Kejriwal’s image, it is he himself who has been signing apology letters. Yes, we all hope another 2.0 will happen soon, but also hope that it is NOT SHRI Arvind Kejriwal 2.0.
Let this article be forwarded to Mr Kamal Haasan.
Arvind apni ….. Khud marega. Yeh apne aap ko bahut chalak samajhta hai. Ham haise log jo ye samajhte hain chalo kuchh theek kar raha hoga. Lekin ye saala bahut hi kameena aur makkari pe tula hai. Saale sudhar nahi to ham jaise log lat mar denge. Aur tumahri chaalaki g…. Me ghus jaigi. Sale tere favour me hum debate karte the ab tera name lene me sharm aati hai hai. Tu is had tak apne aap ko gira diya. Besharam. Kachra sala.
It’s really hard to digest the indication about the political death of Arvind Kejriwal.
His lack of mental stability, lack of focus with consistency and lack of faith on the his party people, resulted in into such environment.
But why arvind behaving this way, he is definitely not corrupt but it seems he has adjustment issues with colleagues. It’s amazing why he is apolozising Gadkari like corrupt politicians? What’s forcing him to do this? He shd explain to public before he is doing all this silly acts. Apolozising Arun jaitley is just atrocious who damaged the country with bank scams. Something is seriously going wrong with arvind it seems.He shd mend his ways immdtly before it’s too late. He shd apolozise public n not corrupt politicians. Niranjan
He is showing his true colors . AAP followers have been blind , some of them are still . Good to see they coming to ground after what was so clearly visible to everyone , Arvind is indeed power hungry corrupt man.
Perfectly summarized.
I will say have faith and be positive. every one commits mistake and he is new to politics if you can’t have faith then don’t expect any thing from him because every thing needs time and he is giving better then other politicians and it’s Delhi the govt has power better then UT but less then state.
I can only pity at the expectations of this man.
As soon as collects his target “pardons” Kejri will return to his gutter politics.
How come he has not apologised to Modi and Jeitly?
Kejri cannot be trusted.
Today Thousands of youth are joining AAP, and giving thr precious time for the people ….. And here comes a person from Infosys an Outsourcing Company which has done no innovation and led to mushrooming of Engineering colleges churning students for outsourced jobs with ZERO CREATIVITY.
What culture he must be carrying with him, good riddance….
So as per you author’s shortcomings are
1. He is from Infosys.
2. Since he’s from Infosys he won’t have any creativity.
Since you are not from Infosys you have all the creativity .
Use your creativity to give such responses and show what is really left in aap.
You are doing a great favour to nation exposing what is l ft in AAP.
Employ your creativity for such good deeds.
Too cynical. Get a life.
Too generalistic as well, speak for yourself and not the entire generation. You were stupid enough to expect too mich out of a novice and I believe with the bjp at centre and non-statehood of Delhi, what he did was really the beat he cpuld to survive and deliver onto the promisis made in the political mandate.
Suit yourself, but dont be stupid enough to generalise.
No apologising needed, it wont help anyway.
Really hope Arvind comes back and shoves his victory in ur face.
Won’t happen.
And why are you so angry? You won’t understand the plight of a youngster who sacrificed his carrier for AAP.
So please restrain yourself. More than the writer you need to get a life.
What’s wrong with you ? You are the one here who needs to get a life , Author wrote it from his heart and made good points . You are calling him stupid to trust AAP and hoping for the same in the end.
Even after all the numerous U turns by your political master who just used a man like Anna Hazare and threw all his morals to the wind you still dream of him coming back to power! That explains the debacle of the megalomaniac called Arvind Kejriwal and his eventual degradation to being a political nobody. He was always surrounded by sycophants who could never see the reality but supported him blindly even he committed atrocious blunders. I think you need to get a life than the writer…
About to shove?
Agree completely. AAP was a great idea and Kejriwal killed it. If Kejriwal is not self correcting using the steps suggested in this article, may be the way forward could be to chuck him and his coterie out of AAP and reinvent AAP.
Wonderful letter. I wish this letter is made mandatory reading for every journalist who gave free publicity to AAP. It was large sections of the media that drummed up Arvind Kejriwal and AAP and made them popular. They should introspect and wonder why let go of their professional duties and choose to become cheerleaders instead.
Title is unnecessarily distopian. Don’t attribute your feelings to a whole generation. There is always hope… change is coming… albeit a bit slower than we wanted.
Agree with the title. Given the history of India where many got killed for the throne of Delhi ranging from Mughals to British empire, I cried like a baby when I saw an ordinary Indian traveling in local train to claim the throne. Being very optimistic, I was hoping for something like a French Revolution. It was a love affair with Mr. Kejriwal and now it’s like a divorce where I don’t want to see his face or hear his name. You cost India way too much.
It is too big a statement “murder of a generations hope”. I agree next leader will have tougher time establishing. It was foolish of the author to put full trust in some one who is new to politics. I was inspired and hopeful AAP succeeds in politics. I did spend time reading their book Swarajya.
Fortunately my instincts were strong and I did not vote for AAP. Majority of country also did not trust AAP. AAP is learning politics and will take few more terms in government to learn the basics of politics. Till that time whoever joins with blind faith will leave with a bitter taste.
Straight from the heart and very well articulated. Agree with everything in the article. I too was among a minuscule minority who believed that the resignation after 49 days was the right decision. But the widespread criticism of that decision probably changed Arvind Kejriwal. And he has only himself to blame. Truly, he has murdered a generation’s hope.
