The Aam Aadmi Party, or AAP, is a political party founded by Arvind Kejriwal in 2012. It was born out of a civil society movement — Indian Against Corruption — that received massive popular support in 2011-12 after public anger over corruption charges on the then Congress-led UPA government.
It won its first elections in Delhi in 2013, and came to power with outside support from the Congress. But the government lasted only 49 days as Kejriwal resigned since he was unable to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi Assembly. The AAP returned to power in 2015, when fresh elections were held, and swept the Delhi elections winning 67 of 70 seats. The first few issues tackled by AAP were the fraudulent inflation of water and electricity bills, promising the people of Delhi certain free units of electricity.
The AAP government in Delhi has been in a tussle with the BJP-ruled central government and the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) over the division of powers. Kejriwal and several AAP leaders and ministers face corruption charges related to alleged irregularities in the 2021-22 Delhi excise policy case. The case has already landed former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, and AAP campaign manager Vijay Nair in jail.
Prashant Kishore is no modern day, neogeneration idealist. He is just a businessman working for his clients. He does not have a target for the country as a whole nation. He only has to aim to complete the job at hand. Hence, willing to work on both sides of the political divide just like any businessman does.
As regards to his nationalism, he is highly suspect in this regard and is even worse than any political party. His work during the AP elections of 2019 has divided the people of AP very deeply along caste lines in each and every constituency and he had no qualms cheating the people along the YSRCP and splitting them along religious lines also. In addition, he brought a stubborn, inexperienced, pampered man to power who is not willing to listen to anybody and who does not know the basics of how it is to live as a common man in this country.
Just love that: Pluralist, without being anti-Hindu !
kishore is a fraudster, preying on the insecurities of corrupt politicians!
