Cleaning the Augean Stables

With the Aam Aadami Party(AAP) winning the confidence motion in newly elected Delhi assembly, the much touted shenanigans of AAP have come to an end, and with this the drama and the prowess of Mr Kejriwal takes a break also.

And all the news channels and the tele-viewers take a sigh of relief. After all, they have been excused from the drama around the government formation in Delhi.

The audience witnessed a changed Kejriwal yesterday: his mien and countenance was replete with the satisfaction of making the government at last. And he has tested the first blood in the assembly with shrewdness.

A day before, he was blabbing with full force, and venom on his opponents and the un-natural bed-fellows. He will put to jail each and every corroupt person--was his one point agenda(and the Tihar inamtes along with the jail authorities were having sleepless nights from fear of a sudden influx of corrupt politicians) . And all of sudden, all the ruckus he has created has subsided. Miraculously, Mrs Shila Dikshit have been acquitted and exonerated of all the charges, made against him during the recent electioneering, by the bellwether and the paladin, and the juggernaut of tirade against corruption. This is the bed of Procrustes friends.

As the nine months old baby has stunned the whole nation by its performance, the possibility of AAP going the Janta Party way is rife. As from the perspicuity of the probity of the new government, it can be rightly inferred--for the time being.

But, as the party--which has given unconditional support--along with the one which missed the crown by a whisker are sulking like Achilles in the tent, it will give some time to the suave and very intelligent ex-bureaucrat and ex-Tata Steel Engineer, to pay medical attention to his peculiar and ludicrous cough(Imagine the scene when a prominent personality comes out in the open with running nose, and, without a kerchief). However, the newly born party does has uprooted the nanny of Delhi politics, and must get an applaud, so that, it can engage itself in the Herculean Task of cleaning the Augean Stables--full of corruption(according to Mr Kejriwal's perceptions); for, only the very few are honest, rest are submerged, and engaged, and involved in the corruption up-to neck, or lips, or nose, or forehead, or...wholly. 

With the new year gift of pseudo-subsidy in water and electricity, the Delhites are now becoming aware of the ignominious Trojan Horse they have been bestowed upon. Whether it is a boon or curse will be clear very soon. Mr Kejriwal being aware of the rigging of the public accounts is beyond doubt, and his probity is also clearer than crystal with the type of alliance he has had. 

Amidst all these, let's congratulate Mr Kejriwal and his team, the new managed 'Bed of Procrustes', and wish him best of luck for his future endeavours in cleaning the Augean Stables, but also pray for Delhites that it does not happen to be out of frying pan into the fire for them, for both the Congress and AAP knew that in case of a re-election there would have been very few takers of his theories and agenda.
