Arvind's letter to Sheila Dixit

Smt. Sheila Dikshit ji,
I have received a letter written by your political secretary, Mr. Pawan Khera in which you have raised certain issues.  This letter answers those questions.  However, I am perplexed why you did not write to me directly  instead of using your staff member’s name.  A few months back you did the same thing.  I had stated in a public meeting that you are a broker of electricity companies. You probably took offense to it.  Even at that time, instead of filing a defamatory case against me in your name, you did it using Mr Khera’s name.  There is a saying in English- “A leader should lead from the front”.  Hiding behind someone, or firing from someone else's shoulder, demonstrates the weakness of a leader.
You have stated in your  letter that Delhi politics was very clean upto now, and I have muddied it. You are feeling this way because till now, there was no one to oppose you in Delhi. There was also no opposition party in Delhi.  There was match fixing between BJP and Congress. Both parties had made Delhi politics a virtual business for them. BJP and Congress are both in partnership with electricity and water companies. You kept raising  the price for water and electricity and BJP would do a farcical protest on the streets, sometimes for an hour, or a day. The citizens were being robbed, exploited and crying out in pain. But things were going well for both parties.  Both were happy. Now, suddenly Aam Aadmi Party has come forward and spoiled the game for both . On one side you are unhappy, you are saying that we have muddied Delhi politics.  On the other side BJP is also unhappy.  They too are saying that we have muddied Delhi politics. But the common citizen of Delhi is very happy. This is the first time; the common citizens of Delhi have an honest alternative.

Brutal attack on AAP volunteers by Delhi police

Delhi police brutality! Yesterday many of our volunteers were brutally beaten up by the Delhi police for protesting outside the police station asking for the police to register an FIR in the case of a  young woman who was confined and raped for 2 days in Gokulpuri.  The picture (see below) and videos of the incident shows the viciousness of the attack on peacefully protesting young men and women.  Several of them were admitted to the hospital with broken bones and bleeding wounds.  When one of our volunteers asked for water, he was offered urine.  (Read the  news report  in 'The Hindu') Volunteers are our strength and when the police beats up any one of us, each lathi, each blow is a pain inflicted on all of us. Gandhiji’s freedom fighters had to endure the same brutality at the hands of the British rulers. Little did we know that this unjust treatment would continue even after we got independence and this time at the hands of our own elected government.  Thi

The Secret To Create Immediate Attraction

Here’s one of the great ironies of dating: The women who say that you’re a guy that “any girl would love to have as a boyfriend” are also the LEAST likely to actually go out with you. Heck, you might be what those women would call “quality boyfriend material”, but for some reason, they themselves would NEVER want to get romantically involved with you. Ask them on a date, and these women who think so highly of you will also be the first ones to also turn you down. You know why? It’s not because they’re lying to you or playing head games. They truly believe every word they’re telling you. The thing is, they can’t see themselves being the actual woman in the relationship they think you’re so ready for. In other words, these women feel no CHEMISTRY around you. And that’s really what attraction is all about: hardwiring a woman’s mind to see you in a certain way. Women who only see you as a friend can only imagine you ending up with someone who deserves you. However, their fr

DANGEROUS FOR SOUTH ASIA AND BANGLADESH

Saturday, 05 April 2014 |  Hiranmay Karlekar  | in  Edit 1 Bangladesh will once again become a regional exporter of terrorism, as it was during the BNP-Jamaat coalition Government between 2001 and 2006, if the Jamaat calls the shots in any Government there The Awami League will no doubt look back with satisfaction at the recovery it has made from the drubbing it took in the first two rounds of the Upazila (sub-district) elections in Bangladesh. Candidates backed by it won the chairman’s posts in 34 Upazilas against the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s tally of 41, the fundamentalist Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s 12 and the Jatiya Party’s one, in the first phase of elections on  February 19 . It continued to fare poorly in the second phase held on  February 27 , at the end of which its tally stood at 78 against the BNP’s 93 and the Jamaat’s 20. It was just a whisker behind the BNP after the third phase held on March 15, after which its total of chairman's posts stood at 118 agai
