Will Aap's Rigorous System of Candidate Appraisal Give a Desired Result ?

If this process of candidate appraisal adopted by the Aap party is suitable and effective for Indian politics ? This is a question many curious observers will raise, but an answer to this tricky question is hard to get.

Anna's India Against Corruption fame Arvind Kejriwal has raised the Aam Aadmi Party on the plank of a fight against corruption. With this idea in mind, AAP has been trying to pick its candidates carefully, but this is raising more questions  then finding any reasonable result.

Surendra Sharma, a candidate from Shahdara constituency in Delhi, claims that "not only had he disclosed the numerous FIRs registered against him but also went through the rigorous selection process which included an interview with Sisodia, investigations into his background, voting by active volunteers, a meeting with Kejriwal and endorsement by the Political Affairs Committee".

Sharma has been now denied the ticket and he is challenging the candidate selection process. AAP leader Manish Sidodia, member of screening committee denied Sharma charged saying: "Sharma had not disclosed many details." 

A complaint is also registered against another AAP candidate Deshraj Raghav from Uttam Nagar. A complaint in the Lokayukta by the BJP's Anchal Sharma alleges Raghav and his family own many ration shops in the area. Achal Sharma asks, "How can one family have so many ration shops?" 

While admitting that there are four ration shops in the names of his two brothers, wife and widowed sister, Raghav says that no FIR has been lodged against anyone.He said, "There is no FIR in my name, my father's name or my grandfather's name,". 

The AAP experiment has indeed raised expectations, but it has also exposed the difficulties in finding candidates who fit the standards of the party. AAP leader Yogendra said, "We can improve," admitting that their this unique experiment of choosing candidates is not water tight.

INDIA HONEST surprises is this rigorous system of apprising a candidate will give a desired result, when the crime reporting system and their legal adjudication process through courts is so lengthy and unrealistic ? An Aap attempt in noble direction in Indian politics may not give time bound good result, so it needs long time bigger reforms.

Congress' Discarded Leader Dig sir Has Always a Lollipop in His Jacket

Congress' discarded leader Dig sir has  always  a  lollipop  in  his  jacket  pocket to offer ; simply just to stay in the focus of media or more because he has chosen the role of street watchman ( don't want to use the abusive word but the appropriate word should be street dog), which starts shouting without the thought whether it is in his master's favour, as the person on whom he is shouting is his master's friend or guest, but on the other hand a pet or properly employed watchman like Raj Babber considers his master's instruction properly and thus praises the incoming guest by licking him instead of shouting or howling. Raj Babbar dismissed the opposition criticism and said the ordinance to change the Supreme Court order is aimed at "protecting the dignity of the Constitution", but failed to convince the accusation that the ordinance was rushed through to protect some leaders belonging to Congress and supporting parties.

Congress leader Dig sir  made an  unlikely  and  divergent note, totally away from the Congress party line on government's decision to bring an ordinance on convicted lawmakers, saying it would have been better had there been a political consensus. He put a "out of his book" observation that, "In such controversial matters, it is always better to bring about a political consensus rather than pushing through an ordinance," . One must not laugh on the used word "political consensus", ha, ha,............don't surprise, yes be assured this is what Dig sir said. 

Yes you want to know why a controversial person like Dig sir say so ? A top secret, as  you know this ordinance was issued by the Congress party to save their most reliable and honest ally and friend Lalu Prasad, who may be losing his seat this month in the "fodder case" and you know how two clowns cannot operate from the same platform of UPA.  Dig sir wanted to use this opportunity to oust him.
