Chetan Bhagat opened up the AAP saga by announcing,"AAP is far more honest and real today than with the righteous nonsense peddled earlier", while collaborated it with a story.
Chetan narrated "Alex Garland's 1996 novel The Beach, also made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, had a fascinating plot. It revolved around idealistic people setting up a secret island paradise in Thailand. The island, hidden from modern civilisation, was designed to be a society based on equality , love and trust. Those living there shunned materialistic greed and everything wrong with modern life."
"Things seem wonderful to start with. However, the island slowly degenerates. Issues such as formation of factions, differences of opinion, power politics and betrayals surface.Eventually the paradise, despite its clear blue water and powdery beaches, becomes a violent hell. The lesson is simple where there are humans, there can be no paradise."
He added further, "And now, we see the same situation in AAP. The political party that seemed created from the nectar of the gods is now afflicted with the ugliest human traits mistrust, greed, ego, impatience and vengefulness.This is not meant to criticise AAP.In fact, I find AAP today far more honest and real than the righteous nonsense peddled earlier. I also feel AAP's prospects are brighter than they were before this crisis. People who helped AAP take form the NGO types, the leftists, the activists, the almost-anybody-who-had-a-grudge may not be the best people to make AAP grow to the next level.
India Honest have little option of disagreeing with the narratives. Yes, the solipsism in the AAP leadership that rotates around Delhi C.M.,"is today far more honest and real than the righteous nonsense peddled earlier, " and the truth reflected in the humiliating show down of the exit door to dissenting leaders including few co-founders .
Political Honesty cannot be far different for AAP than what the imaginary illusions used to blame the Congress or the BJP. But the point is : if it it not one big honesty of AAP's dictating new leadership to come closer to the fact in open and expose the reality ? Yes it is a cruel truth that AAP is doing a different type of politics , a dual mouth politics.
