New Delhi, 26th March. Being steadfastly “honest” is a positive thing. However, as things turn out, this is not favorable. As we actually remember, King Harishchandra’s name has up until now served as a representation of integrity on Earth. However, the topic of unwavering “honesty” has gained attention lately because of Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi. This is reminiscent of Kejriwal’s earlier stage of political career. During his tenure at the Indian Revenue Service, Arvind Kejriwal began to focus on matters of public and social concern.
He then joined Anna Hazare’s movement and, in order to address the complaints of the people of Delhi, he and Manish Sisodia founded the “Parivartan” movement. Social activist Anna Hazare started a campaign against corruption in the nation on April 5, 2011. In Delhi, at Ramlila Maidan, this movement got its start. Arvind Kejriwal has emerged as this movement’s unique face. Kejriwal established the India Against Corruption Group (IAC) to push for the nation to enact the Jan Lokpal Bill.
On August 16, Anna Hazare went on a hunger strike at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan to demand the Jan Lokpal Bill since the then-Manmohan Singh government was still opposed to it.
Up until August 28th, Anna Hazare’s movement persisted. Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Arvind Kejriwal were the prominent figures in this movement at the time. These three faces are unique because they have been transformed into the masks of steadfastly “honest” corruption. Arvind Kejriwal became the face of this movement after Anna Hazare. He made the statement that we must enter the system if we wish to make improvements to it during this movement. After that, he split from Anna Hazare, and on October 2, 2012, Arvind Kejriwal established his own political party.
The AAP, or Aam Aadmi Party, was established on November 24, 2012. “There is an issue with this chair,” he continued. It corrupts whoever sits on it. Will the members of this movement turn corrupt too if they sit in this chair tomorrow? We are quite concerned about this.
However, in 2013, the steadfastly honest Kejriwal set a record by easily defeating three-time Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in the New Delhi constituency, becoming the second youngest Chief Minister of the nation’s capital. Although the Aam Aadmi Party did not win a majority in this election, the Congress, which was infamous for its corruption during the movement, helped form the government.
Despite the fact that he had not even been in charge of the government for 49 days, this was the first significant instance of obvious “honest” corruption. He had also run against Varanasi-based BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, but had been defeated. With his party winning 67 of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly and taking office as chief minister for the second time on February 14, 2015, Kejriwal stormed back to power in 2015. He was elected to the Delhi Chief Minister position three times in 2020. Arvind Kejriwal’s gaze was diverted, but he never lost sight of Delhi’s LG and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
At this point, he is among India’s most well-known and steadfastly “honest” politicians fighting corruption. The fact that CM Kejriwal fulfilled his role as a Right to Information (RTI) activist in 2006 and received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for it should give you reason to believe this. However, I have sympathy for those who do not view Kejriwal as wholly “honest.” Kejriwal has been pounding his chest and saying, “Believe me, brother, what’s the harm?” The Aam Aadmi Party has three ideologies, steadfast patriotism, humanity, and honesty. Their sole transgression is that the unwavering “honest” was unable to expose corruption.
Perhaps the Enforcement Department (ED) would not have pursued Arvind Kejriwal, but rather ED, if he had accused steadfast of “honest” corruption. The ED pursued Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the alleged Delhi liquor scam only after time had given it a chance. What would have happened if CM Arvind Kejriwal had pursued it with all of his might? Kejriwal received nine summonses from the ED.
The ED itself threatened with summonses on November 2, 2023; November 21, 2023; January 3, 18 January; February 2, 19 February, 26 February; and March 4, 21 March, took quick action for two to three hours without noticing the arrival or the demand, and after making him a groom, brought him to his in-laws’ home. Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and Satyendra Jain, his wedding guests, were already seated and waiting for him.
