Why is everybody after Arvind Kejriwal and AAP

Media Vs Arvind Kejriwal
It seems that some section of media has really taken a U-Turn and and has started a negative campaign against Arvind Kejriwal and AAP. As a common man this is what I have been observing from the past one month. If you watch some channels like Zee News Media, India News and India TV it is very obvious that there is great bias when they are criticizing Kejriwal. They are forming their own opinion and even so judgmental about everything what Arvind is doing.

I used to be a great fan of all these channels earlier but now they have made it clear what is their agenda so I am losing interest in watching their programmes. I am sure there are millions like me who have the same feelings.

People who has ZEE TV owned Dish TV connection were not even aware of India TV News channel.
It was running as a trial channel after channel number 1500. But all of a sudden when this Anti AAP campaign started Zee TV owned Dish TV has given a special space and number to India TV news channel just after Zee News.

The body language and expressions and the comments of the anchors of Zee News India TV and India News are totally different when they are talking about Kejriwal and AAP. It seems as if they have some personal grudges against AAP.

People watching these channels are smart enough and they understand their ulterior motives and mala fied intentions.

The Prime Miniterial Candidates of the two major parties are not at accessible to media. The Media personnel not even get closer to them leave apart that they would be able to take their interview. I have never seen any channel asking Narendra Modi any question because the media cannot even go 20 meters close to him. have you ever seen the media cameras chasing Rahul Gandhi and asking questions. They cannot because they cannot go beyond certain limit. Times now still boats of the interview of Rahul Gandhi, the first ever interview.

During most of the Modi rallys the live media coverage is provided to the channels by the BJP itself and same is the case for Rahul Gandhi Rallys.

Now who is left for the media? He is our aam aadmi Kejriwal who is open to common man and media wherever he goes. He travels like a common man, talks like a common man, and wish to change the system. If the media feels that Arvind Kejriwal do all the things for media coverage then why are you covering him? Why your cameramen chasing him wherever he goes? In Mumbai also the chaos was not because of the supporters but because Arvind Kejriwal was followed by media vehicles right from the airport to the local train and other areas.

The congress, BJP and other parties have given tickets to so many tainted people and some of them have serious corruption and criminal charges. Why these channels are not highlighting these issues? Why don't these channels bring out the report cards of the existing MPs, ministers and let the people decide.

In fact none of the major parties took AAP seriously during the Delhi Assembly elections in 2013. They have seen the result and faced the music. Now it seems that these parties have taken AAP very seriously and leaving no stone unturned. They are using all sort of tactics to malign the image of Kejriwal and AAP.

I don't know how true Kejriwal's statement about media is but I am sure people like me can smell the rat.
In my opinion the media should be fair and should not be judgmental. It should bring the facts so that people are benefited from it. It is their right to question the politicians and government and it is media only which has unearthed so many scams in India. It is media only who has brought into notice so many things which have ultimately resulted in the development of the country and society.

I have heard this word PAID MEDIA but I am not sure whether it is true. If at all it exists then it is not good for the society as a whole.

Kejriwal should also understand that giving a generic statement about the media will not do any good for him. He should also be cautious while talking informally like Aam Aadmi because there may be someone from the opposition camp recording what he is saying even on a lighter note.

Why should I Vote AAP - General Lok Sabha Elections 2014



Why should I Vote Aam Aadmi Party in the Coming Assembly Election in Delhi?
I have been following the AAP since its inception. Even before that I was part of ANNA Movement in Delhi as a common man.  The August 2011 movement in fact is responsible for the revolutionary change in the mindset of the Common Man. Earlier except for criticizing the government and the corrupt politicians we did not think of changing the system which is almost non-functional as far as honest practices and ethics are concerned. 

The only thing we did was discuss the corruption issues among a group and get back to our daily chores. The Aam Aadmi felt so helpless that he had convinced himself that he has to live with this system which is full of corruption, controlled by some powerful politicians and government protected goons. He cannot do anything except for voting one party after five years and watch the corrupt practices. The Aam Aadmi had just one or two options to vote and both the parties had miserably failed to help the common man.

Aam Aadmi had no option, no hope as he was so busy making his ends meet with so much of difficulty. It was his compulsion of life that he could not raise his voice against corruption and wrong deeds of the Governments of all the parties.

What an Aam Aadmi want from his elected government? Good infrastructure and roads, low inflation rate, good law and order, criminal free society, free movement with the family without any fear, employment, good education to their children, what else. I don’t think a common man in India has too many expectations from the Government. He wants to live in peace with proper implementation of law and order. He want a small job and a corruption free government departments. 

Today if I have to make a driving license, no matter how efficient driver I am, I would not be able to get a licence. Without bribe it is very difficult. If I have to make a passport I will have to struggle a lot without the help of an agent who have nexus with the Babus inside the passport office. Various news channels have proved this in their sting operations but the system is still the same.

I am not surprised that in my colony these days’ roads are being repaired on war footing. The elections are about to be announced and it is not a coincidence. Some roads which don’t even require any repair are being dug and repaired again. We can see big posters and hoardings at the site that the work is being done by the local MLA and MP. The public is not a fool Mr MP and Mr MLA. Where were you all these 5 years? Can you tell us to whom you have given the contracts for this work? Can you share the details of the money spent and work done? 

We will not be surprised that after 3 months when the elections are over the condition of these roads will again be the same because we do not believe that the work is done honestly. This is the perception a common man has for the politicians now because they have proved time and again that they cannot live without corruption. The scams, tainted ministers, MLAs, MPs, Criminals in politics, interference in the departments where the politicians have no role to play and nexus with Goons etc,etc. All these things are so common in our society that a common man fears to raise his voice. 

There are numerous examples where the honest bureaucrats or whistleblowers were killed, murdered, or stopped from doing their duties by suspending them or transferring them.

It is evident and well reported by news channels and news papers that common man is always afraid of police whereas the criminals have a good raport with the police and politicians. If an Aam Aadmi go to police for a complaint, it is highly likely that he would be sent back and would not be listened to by the people sitting there. It is surprising that even in the heinous crimes like rapes and sexual assault the police is reluctant to file an FIR and first try to convince the victim not to report it. 

Where should a common man go then? Now he has got a platform where he can be part of the group to make a radical change in the system. He is no longer feeling helpless and has a ray of hope in the form of AAP. Aam Aadmi Party, he thinks has the capability to change this system which is rotten now and AAP has that will to wipe out the corruption which is so deep rooted in our country. 

Anna’s Janlokpal Bill will be passed within few days coming into the power would be an achievement and will definitely serve as a deterrent for the corruption. The matter of the fact is even if half of the corruption comes under control we can see a sea change in our society. I am sure AAP would religiously work on bringing down the corruption. 

Let us vote for a change this time. Vote AAP and that would be the real change because you have seen both the parties ruling simultaneously in Delhi. You have also seen their performance. So changing one and bringing the other will do no good for you. They are part of the same coin. Let us vote for Aam Aadmi Party and be a part of the system to change the system.
