What's new

Arvind Khejriwal resigned as Delhi CM !

I am not aware is this is evident to others, but a strong anti corruption bill seems to be opposed by Print Media, Etrx media, and all political parties in India except AAP.......... WHY?
 
Absolutely not., this was the right decision to take. most senior member her are trying to potray that Arvind is being a cry baby and resigning for not getting his way. On contrary the objective was simple to bring a strong anti graft bill... Both Congress and BJP stonewalled this to ensure that their corrupt jleaders remain safe.

There is no poin in forming a government when congress which is supposedly in support stonewalls key decisions which are imperative to the AAP's prime agendas. I totally support reelection in delhi... Congress will end up losing the rest of the 6 seats and Bjp will fare even worse....

I don';t share ur optimism atm,but its good for the nation if ur proved right.
 
I can understand the rush to introduce the bills, but I don't understand the rush to resign.

Had him and his party persisted the bill would have passed sooner or later, maybe in a month or two, as compared to atleast 6-8 months now, which is when the fresh elections will be held. That too mind you , if he is party does to come to power at all!

So do you still think he resigned on principle, and that he resigned because he wanted to implement these bills at the earliest?:rolleyes:
If there are fresh election, it would be a sore sight for BJP and Congress...

That is the question the Ghandi pariwar supporters and Modibots do not want to answer
 
How does a anti graft bill has financial implications from Capital expenditure standpoint??? and is there any action in the real world that does not have financial implications???

Sir, the setting up of the LOKPAL OFFICE will demand financial funding from the center as Delhi does not have full state powers like other states...........Kejriwal has mastered the art of Politics, he din't wanted to go through the right process nor did he wanted to wait for Delhi HC decision on the same (which will in all probability, declare the tabling of the bill as unconstitutional). I mean, if he really wanted to do the right thing, than why not go through the right process??? If he doesn't trust the LG/Center than atleast wait for Delhi HC's decision.
 
What most people fail to realise is : Both congress and BJP are terrified of a strong Anti graft bill, because a strong anti graft bill will put 90% of the top leadership of the country behind bars....

When Anna and arvind were fighting for it on the streets, the top leaders made fun of these guys and said, if you want to change the system fight elections....

Now when they fought elections and made government - these same opposing leaders said they cannot govern,

When they started introducing bills in the assembly- the retort was "what's the hurry"

At the end of the day every one knows if a strong anti curroption bills passes and works in delhi, rest of the nation will see and replicate... and eventually Sonia, rahul gandhi and company will have to live in exile in Italy.... most of SP and BSP will be behind bars.... NCP, congress, MNS and SS will lose half it's leaders. All top CPI/CPM and dravidian party leaders will be behind bars.

Thus by all means each of them will pour tons of money to subjugate any issue that AAP brings up.... AAP is playing with pandora's box, and rest of them know it.
 
I would respectfully disagree.

That is not even a point of discussion

"The Cabinet of the government of NCT of Delhi in its decision no. 2111 dated 03/02/2014 has approved the proposal of setting up of Janlokpal in the Govt of NCT of Delhi. The Cabinet further approved that the bill will be taken up in the Assembly. It has been brought to my notice that the above referred "Janlokpal Bill" is being introduced during the current session for consideration in the Legislative Assembly of Govt of National Capital territory of Delhi, commencing on 13th February, 2014.

"As per section 22(3) of the Govt of NCT of Delhi Act, 1991, the said bill, being a "Financial Bill" is to be sent to the Lt. Governor for recommendation, and as per Rule 55(1) of Transaction of Business of Govt of NCT Rules, 1993, the Lt. Governor is required to make a prior reference to the Central Govt before being introduced in the Legislative Assembly. The said Bill has not yet been duly placed before me by the Govt of NCT of Delhi.

"As the Janlokpal Bill is being introduced in the Legislative Assembly without following the procedure indicated above, I hereby send the "message" under section 9(2) of the Govt of NCT of Delhi Act, 1991, to the Legislative Assembly, not to consider the Bill unless it is introduced with the recommendation of the Lt Governor.

"This message may kindly be informed to the Assembly before the above referred Bill is introduced during the sitting of the current session.

Sd/- Najeeb Jung, Lt Governor "

the bill was unconstitutional, unless ppl believe they are better at understanding constitution than the ppl assigned to do it.
 
Sir, the setting up of the LOKPAL OFFICE will demand financial funding from the center as Delhi does not have full state powers like other states...........Kejriwal has mastered the art of Politics, he din't wanted to go through the right process nor did he wanted to wait for Delhi HC decision on the same (which will in all probability, declare the tabling of the bill as unconstitutional). I mean, if he really wanted to do the right thing, than why not go through the right process??? If he doesn't trust the LG/Center than atleast wait for Delhi HC's decision.
Now this doesn't make any sense to me. I am a very common man. I am affected by corruption. I elect a party that promises to bring significant anti graft measure. The party tables a bill for the same, and now the LG tells me you cannot do that... Then why have elections to begin with....

If this is in the constitution, then state gov't should have no powers as every aspect of administrations has financial implications thus no roads, no hospitals, no security no nothing....

If LG claims this is unconstitutional, then there needs to be some amendments,

The unconstitutional part of it is : the Lt. Governor is required to make a prior reference to the Central Govt before being introduced in the Legislative Assembly. The said Bill has not yet been duly placed before me by the Govt of NCT of Delhi.

In other words Mr. Jung needs aproval from P.M to pass a bill that will potentially implicate Sonia gandhi's son in law, Shiela Dikshit and so on.... I wonder why, the LG couldn't read the bill and call the finance ministry... I am sure we have enough money to set up a lokpal office in delhi. If nothing Delhi govt would have paid for it... Was the LG that busy that he could spare a day to read the bill??

You know the merit of what I am implying. Answer honestly, what is the real reason behind not letting a strong Lokpal bill in Delhi? is it really that LG needs permision from finance ministry? or is there a bigger story there?

Sir, you aren't understanding the point. No one is against the bill, it's the unconstitutional step that the AAP govt. was taking.

& Delhi isn't a full fledged state, many powers are with the Center.

Do you think Kejriwal tabled the bill because he wanted good for people?? NO...he did all this DRAMA so that he can be seen as a great Martyr so that he gain political mileage ahead of LS elections.

P.S. Sorry to say Sir, if educated people like you are easily fooled by his Drama, i don't even want to think about the uneducated class.

AAP knew before introducing the anti graft bill that it was unconstitutional, they still went ahead in a confrontational way to come out of it looking like a martyr.

Regarding developmental funds, AAP wanted to give subsidy on electricity from these development funds.
 
So the resignation was to create a "sore sight" for the BJP and Congress( read political mileage), and not so much about the anti corruption, and principles and blah blah blah?
I am not a AAP spokes person, I just said it would be pretty bad for congress and Bjp if there are re elections. and to an extent you know that too
