Re: [IAC#RG] Whither "rule of law" in AAP

Dear Gaur ji

The facts on what happened in 2011-2012 for IAC have been repeated
ad-nauseam and with different versions depending on who you speak to.

Between Oct 2012 and Aug 2013 we simply could not take the IAC
movement forward due to confusion in the public mind. We therefore
established our new model where we would wait for the inevitable
outcome of AAP unfolding.

We were always very clear since about 2012 that BJP would rule in
Centre and AAP would rule in Delhi. We knew this because of our deep
study of how Ambani camp works and certain signals emanating from
Congress that they were doing everything to prevent a BJP landslide.
In fact the AAP's first 28/70 seats in Delhi were a "gift" from
Congress.

If you note it carefully, we had pointed out AAP's Reliance and TATA
links at the same time we called them A team and B team of Cong/BJP
respectively. We continue to hold that view and see no reason to
change it.

The clarity from IAC may emerge through a new front in say August
2015. My 'aakas' now trust my opinions more than in say 2010 when I
"withdrew" from active IAC work. But it is very difficult for others
to work with us as we are unbending and uncompromising on our core
values.

Unfortunately what is now also happening, is that with "halo" of both
NaMo and AK getting tarnished, Rahul Gandhi is looking good in
comparison .. at least to many many Muslims .. and it seems the BJP
wants this too ;-)
