I think Kejriwal has his own place in the scheme of things. There is no need to belittle.
Even providing an alternative with fewer established sins is important. Not to mention the opening up of ranks of power to people, if nothing through sheer virtue of needing a lot of leadership roles filled. The party does take feedback.
One man paragon is not democratic. They are what they are. We are what we are.

Mr SarabjitI do not think you are ethically right in belittling the efforts of AK or doubting his degrees. Not that I am his fan o ra follower , though I use my own judgement to understand the gimmicks floating around these days in the name of AAP or IAC. and you seem to be rather too vocal without any contribution of yours to the cause of corruption free India.If a wrong inflated electric bill comes to you, will you first pay and then protest or protest in the first place and you call it illegal. It surely is but in our country only coercive methods have some relevance. If there was a responsive system working in India no one would do illegal things..vijoy ambastaOn Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 4:04 AM, Sarbajit Roy <sroy.mb@gmail.com> wrote:Dear IAC members
Unfortunately and once again we have to refer to Mr. Arvind Kejriwal's new antics.
In this attached email. he calls upon all residents of Delhi to join him when he refuses to pay his electricity bills and he assures them that nothing will happen to them (elsewhere he has said because when AAP comes to power all those cases will be dropped) since the Govt is "gutless".
Dear Arvind:
My first query is :Where exactly in Delhi do you reside permanently that you have an electricity connection in your name ? (PS: I thought you resided in Ghaziabad U.P, or have you bought some posh LBZ property with the crores of rupees you are to account for.from IAC days.?)
M\y second query is: What will happen to all those harassed poor people who believing in you got converted into bijli chors (like you), get permanently disconnected and shall never be reconnected to bijli till they pay regular bribes to AAP's parallel network for black market electricity supply ? <--- Arvind we know your game plan and you should be ashamed of yourself. Don't you have any self respect ?
My third query : Do you know that DERC has extended the period to make submissions on MYTR and True-Up (since 2008 -) till 31.March.? If you are actually a qualified engineer, which I seriously doubt seeing that you don't even know the difference between incoming and outgoing feeders, please submit something meaningful instead of indulging in this foreign financed nautanki baazi,

Subject: Arvind Kejriwal's Asahayog AandolanMy fellow Indian,Under Anna's leadership, India came on streets against corruption. The people demanded a strong anti-corruption law. The government did not agree. None of the parties agreed. Obviously, they couldn't have agreed because if they passed a strong Jan Lokpal Bill, most of the politicians would be in jail and their properties would be confiscated.
My friend, our entire political system has become rotten. Most of today's problems are due to corrupt politics. Unless it is cleansed, nothing would improve. That's why we had to enter politics – we tried to stay away, but we realized that approach would not work. We have now formed the Aam Aadmi Party.
Gandhiji said that politics devoid of honesty and spirituality is disastrous for the country. We have to change the politics of this country. I am confident that together, we can.

Though now under law, we are a political party, however, the struggle against corruption continues. I am sitting on an indefinite fast from 23rd March. Why? Because in collusion with electricity and water companies, Delhi Government has increased electricity and water prices to such levels, that it is becoming almost impossible for common people in Delhi to pay up their bills. Many people are taking loans to pay their bills. But that can't go on for long. Documents available with us indicate that the prices should be at least half of what they are today. The prices have been increased only due to corruption to favour a few companies. If something is not done immediately, the government plans to further increase these rates in the coming months.
BJP is in opposition in Delhi. It either remains quiet or makes pretence of opposition. The only hope is the people of Delhi. But people are scared. When we asked people to stop paying their illegitimate bills, they were scared that their electricity might be disconnected or court cases might be filed against them.
In order to take the fear out of the minds and hearts of the people and to unite them, I am sitting on an indefinite fast from 23rd March. This time, we are not demanding anything from the government. My appeal is directly to the people of Delhi – "I will stop paying my electricity and water bills, will u also do that? Let's all unite. Don't be scared. If most of the people in Delhi stop paying their electricity and water bills, no government will have the guts to disconnect anyone's electricity. Even if the government does that, connect it again yourself.
I have given up food from March 23rd; will you give up your fears and stop paying your bills?"
Are we encouraging anarchy? No. If the government enacts a completely unjust law or is guided by corruption, then according to Gandhiji, it is the duty of every citizen to violate that unjust law and invite punishment. Else, we would be supporting injustice and corruption. Today, there is anarchy in every household in Delhi due to government's corruption. If people stop paying bills, there might be anarchy in the houses of some politicians, but people will live in peace.
Through this letter, I seek your participation, in whatever way you can.
If you live in Delhi and want to join the movement by stopping to pay your bills please click here to sign the petition.

Jai Hind.
Warm regards,Arvind Kejriwal
