Making mockery of governance

One month before, he was the cynosure of all eyes, when he formed the government in Delhi, despite all odds. And he is the cynosure of all eyes once again. He escaped a certain stampede barely a fortnight ago, when he was trying to redefine the ways of governance; and whether he will escape the ruckus this time is a matter of concern, not only for him, but for the central government and the people of Delhi also.

Government formation was an enigma for the whole nation a fortnight ago--not now. Everyone was thinking about who has roped in whom? Congress in AAP's trap or vice-versa? But, now the picture is getting clear by each day passing. AAP is at the helm in Delhi , without any power. They can't suspend  SHOs. They can't do this; they can't do that. But, and a greater but, they can stage a demonstration. And road is the place where they feel at home. So, the bran-new government, by bran-new people, in not a bran-new place is on the road again.

Before making the poll promises, AAP people were aware that Delhi is the place where they can get a foothold, but a very unmanageable place to form a government and even more difficult a place to deliver. So, they are mending their ways by the latest demonstrative drive.

So, they have chosen the judicious path of demonstration. Demonstration in the name of autonomy, or for some share in the pie of governance. It is sure that this government has its days numbered. But, Congress will prolong its life till general elections, so that it does not play a spoil sport in its endeavour for a hat-trick, as it did in Delhi. And the AAP government knows it or have come to know lately--the ill-design of the people supporting an idle government.

So, in order to come out of the snare the AAP government will do everything which causes an embarrassment to the congress. And hence they are on a war-path. After all, their existence it at stake. 

Whether they can run the government from the road or not, is a matter of judiciary. But, they will resort to these tested shenanigans is for sure.To nullify the devastating Namo wave, which is threatening to wash out all others, they will certainly resort to such cacophonous episodes. The party supporting the government is hurling abuses on the government and the party in power is hurling the stones all around Delhi. And Delhites are getting hurt and feeling the pinch of a heavenly change they have voted for.

 What will happen next is another enigma, Delhites are facing, and coming out of the labyrinth is a little bit obscure. But, one thing is sure, these neophytes neither know the basics of governance, nor the etiquette of governance. They can not only make mockery of themselves,but of the government and the people of Delhi aslo. So they will die at the place where they were whelped by the octogenarian crusader against corruption--but off course it was an unwanted delivery.
