The 'HYPO-Thesis' of 100 days. Is
AAP losing credibility?
Dear Arvind Kejriwal, Hon'ble CM of NCT of Delhi.. God! Your name's got big.
I am a "Common" Delhite, yearning
for a home, adequate clean water and electricity, security, and proper
transport. After thorough drilling, I pressed
broom on the ballot box (Though, I hit the 'Lotus' button in the Loksabha elections.)
Lately, Your broom is more on my ass than on the road.
Rhetoric has done pleasing. Elections have made you the king so stop propagating yourself as a servant. Behave like a king: Be Responsible. Your words persuade. Your actions influence. Tame 'em.
While you falsely boast of, here are 8 realms to prove that AAP government is an underachiever in first 100 days.
1. Pollution
When I see smog, I fail to relish the nature. My knowledge enlightens me not to breathe deep; it isn’t the oxygen but the poison. Equivalent to smoking 50 cigarettes a day, it's taking a toll on the skin, eyes, fertility, and respiratory system. I can't see you taking a single step to curtail the fangs of this venom.
2. No Uniformity, No Accountability
The street which my house faces has been repaired of a burst
water pipeline, almost two months
after lodging the first complaint. The road is now visible with its constituents. Yeah! It’s broken. Holy Cow! DDA checks water related issues in my area which, by common sense, should be
covered by Delhi Jal Board. Questions are: Why such a distinction?, who'll repair the road and when?
3. Public Transport and Roads
There’s no timetable (At least I could not figure it out) of buses that ply from my place. Their rickety condition and filthy interior leaves me with the
option of using my own vehicle, and shamefully
but involuntarily contributing to more respiratory discomfort for the masses. Broken roads tear the base of buses. Low floor huh! It gets stuck over a speed breaker like a see-saw.
4. Traffic: The sink of frustration
As I halt before the zebra crossing, to give way to equally
respectable citizens, a swarm of bikes, Gramin Sewa, SUVs, and other cars
brazenly take over me to conquer half of the space available to the traffic
that’s coming from the other side where signal is Green. Chaos is a daily
phenomenon when traffic signal stands feeling stupid. Hey! No one listens to
it! Peaceful drive is so outmoded that not a day passes without a case of road
rage. Life is cheaper than the bread!
5. Poverty: The free ride
At traffic signal, a little girl comes to wipe off few inches of my clean car with her dirty cloth, and asks me for money. I am yet to recall, when I hired her for the service. Instead she owns me few bucks for soiling my car.
...and comes a man with his head almost inside the car through the window. I asked him one day, “Will you work for me?” I'll pay you. He refused. He liked sitting idle making money by doing nothing. And to his luck, he'll get a pucca house
soon (As per AAP’s manifesto) without even paying a penny against it. I have
been toiling for years and still manage with a rented house. Such irony!
6. Love and the Lonely Nights
Everyday my
girlfriend tries avoiding dark. There are still no cameras, not even at the
busiest circles. Doubtful of prompt police support, she remains with me on
phone until she reaches home. Consequently
my relationship is getting sweeter by every day. Consequently, my brain is getting damaged owing to prolonged use of mobile phone.
Had dusk been safe, I could contribute to the government via service tax on a Starbucks coffee; however, her parents prefer that she should not date in the evenings.

7. Citizen safety and corruption
You're fighting for pitching in few officers from other
states. It’s ok but at least tame those who are still here! After 11:00 PM, there
are pimps, and hookers standing at
every prominent metro station. I am not getting excited for their potential
services; they have
weapons. I don't help anyone on a lonely road now. Too risky altruism it can be!
Getting away after paying a bribe is still as practical as
it used to be. (I tested it few days ago)
8. Manifesto in total mess
Manifesto is not manifesting into reality.
Irony: Aeroplanes above the head, and Defecators on the road with bottles clung to their index finger.
Do you listen!!
I don’t want
free electricity, I earn and can pay for it. I don't need free
water.
I want thousands of Peepal trees everywhere as my immunity is failing owing to air
pollution. I want you to initiate talks with neighbour states to build SEZ in the north of exterior Delhi and iverge the Gurgaon-Noida.
Prior to giving away free homes, create employment for the beneficiaries and kick the wilfully idle ones off the city. Contributing to Delhi is as much the responsibility of theirs and it is of mine. I will not fund for the meals of an able person.
Criticism of BJP or Narendra Modi is not going to help. You’ve the majority; BJP constitutionally has no power to limit your actions as far as Delhi NCT is
concerned. It will be laudable if you can save your and our time.
We are not in a totalitarian era, and hence there are great
chances of your wipe out if the manifesto won't manifest.
You're a healthy man now. We’ve made our investment.
It’s the time to yield.
Meanwhile, let me arrange for a youth concert at Jantar
Mantar. I hope it’s not booked for any more Dharnas.
