Kejriwal's utmost honesty ?

It is wrong to say that Kejriwal was hounded to pay lakhs of rupees for a training. In fact he had signed a bond, on his own volition, for refunding some part of amount spent on his foreign training if does not serve the government for a given time. But he submitted resignation on his return from foreign training and without serving the government for agreed years. He actually wanted to swallow the bond money but was caught by administration. Was this act of utmost honesty or ......of tax payers money?

ZQ


Playing the media

What else could Kejriwal do other than what he did to awaken the Delhi Police. A chief minister asking for removal of three police junior officers to facilitate a enquiry is of concern to some where scores are suspended just on a drop of a hat when HM security is involved. Number of people have died because ambulances cannot move due to vvip movement. All this is acceptabme to some. Numerous forced Bandhs are organised by Political parties. Unruly scenes are seen at Parliament with members tearing documents and many such methods are resorted by mainstream political parties. A dharna by Delhi CM is a much better and legal way to protest. In spite of this why people should object to it is surprising espically Cong and BJP who have lost all moral authority to criticise. Ask the common man 90% approve of kejriwals actions which is also reflected in all media surveys.

Kejriwal phenomena - high handed approach of powerful

Kejriwal phenomena is a consequent of the high handed approach of those who hold power. Take for example for DoPT the only interest to serve is that of IAS and their whole efficiency is limited to files related to IAS. Secretary and JS's down there give a damn to the career progression issues of other services and sometimes use their vantage position to deliberately delay the career issues of other services. Such is the frustration among Central Services that one day these may resort to Kejriwal methods to address their issues. It is high time that IAS leaves this approach of "jiski lathi uski bhains" and accord equal priority to career issues of other services.
