Mr Kejriwal has a party
The birth of a new political party can hardly be deemed to be news in a country in which all manner of platforms emerge in months preceding elections. Apparently, there are some 900 registered parties in the country, though not all enjoy status with the Election Commission. But the party led by Arvind Kejriwal, which on Saturday was formally given the name of the “Aam Aadmi Party” by its promoters, is noticeably different from the run-of-the-mill outfits that dot our political skyline.
It has come in the wake of a year and a half of sustained public protests — which more often than not took on dramatic forms — on corruption within the nation’s political and administrative systems. Not surprisingly, the forerunner of the party was the forum led by the high-profile septuagenarian, Maharashtrian social activist Anna Hazare, that went under the banner of “India Against Corruption”. Mr Kejriwal was Mr Hazare’s chief lieutenant. Organisationally they recently parted company when Mr Hazare took the view that a forum against corruption might stand in danger of losing its soul if it converted itself into a political party. Mr Kejriwal found himself unable to accept such a proposition.
From first appearances, AAP seems to be an attempt to create a party structure that will gather around it educated middle-class Indians and professional people that typically emerge from this class, namely those who have kept away from party politics. In part they have kept away because they have been busy making their professional (including business) dreams come true, partly also because they disdained the idea of rubbing shoulders with those beneath them in the urban and rural hierarchies, and in some part because gaining entry into political parties for people like them was not easy. The present juncture appeared propitious for the launch of a new idea in the shape of a political party because corruption has indeed grown manifold, and fighting it in a comprehensive manner became a catchy slogan.
Back in 1885 the Indian National Congress had also been formed by the minuscule educated sections in a colonial setting. It had to plunge into mass struggle by mobilising and inspiring all classes, including the peasantry and the nascent working class, to become meaningful and begin to play a role that was history-making. The Communists were also led by middle-class intellectuals in the main. The Jan Sangh, the precursor of the BJP, took its rise in the Hindu nationalist ideology of the RSS and attracted urban lower middle classes and small traders, to begin with. The Lohia socialists were a medley of the Congress and the Communists with an accent on caste, not class. The AAP’s programme and ideology remain unclear.

NOVEMBER 24, 2012: India's population is a mountain of S-H-I-T. Kejriwal and India's media people are particles of S-H-I-T in this mountain of S-H-I-T.
According to a Washington Post story, more than 40 television cameras reported on Arvind Kejriwal waving a plain piece of paper -- no other documentation -- with a list of people with accounts in HSBC bank in Geneva. Documentation of K. Subrahmanyam coming on line, along with the CIA Director Michael Hayden, on August 9, 2008 and offering to transfer one crore rupees into my bank account within 48 hours if I agreed to work for the CIA -- which shows Indian governments, in the present and in the past, to be proxies for the CIA -- can be seen via HaydenSubrahmanyamDOTblogspotDOTcom and there is not a single television camera facing me to cover this biggest expose since India's so-called 'Independence'. IndiasTraitorGovtAndMediaDOTblogspotDOTcom .
Why did Kejriwal, a mechanical engineer, become an income tax officer -- are the salaries of Indian government income tax officers more than those of mechanical engineers? No, he did that to collect crores and crores in bribes which he keeps in Swiss bank accounts and his wife, still an income tax officer, now collects hundreds and hundreds of crores in bribes paid by corporates and individuals to avoid being targeted by Kejriwal. His associate, Prashant Bhushan, admits to having 'managed' many high court and supreme court judges by bribing them and they now threaten to expose some of the judges sitting on high profile cases for years in exchange for bribes from parties to the cases who will lose if the cases moved, so Bhushan and company can collect huge bribes from parties to other cases by threatening to similarly expose judges presiding over them.
An item on the Indian defence web site, bharat-rakshakDOTcom, a few days ago referred to a web site in the United States inviting all those who obtained information via the Right-to-Information act in India to send the information they obtained to the American website to be included in a centralized data base. This web site is CIA-sponsored and the information is used by the CIA for blackmail and other purposes. Kejriwal's involvement in the Right-to-Information movement which led to the passing of the Right-to-Information Act was part of this CIA-sponsored intelligence-gathering operation and he was rewarded with the CIA-controlled Magsaysay award as a result.
The Washington Post story dated November 9 '12 regarding Kejriwal that I saved on my computer has been replaced on its web site by a different story that makes no mention of the more than 40 television cameras and the original story I saved on my computer disappears from my computer screen as soon as I load it -- part of CIA-RAW's 'managing' of Kejriwal, as were the cameras.
Because of what I have written -- IndianAirForcePilotsMurderDOTblogspotDOTcom -- about the sabotage of India's weapon platforms via joint exercises with the United States and about the U.S. Secretary of State then welcoming joint India-Australia exercises in the future to get it done through Australia, the U.S. has moved for joint bases with India to get around that and make the Indian military serve the United States as it served the British. As I have said, Indians in the army, air force, navy as well as police in their millions served and fought for the British and not a single one of them fought the British on behalf of India -- and they were maintained with revenues extracted from India's population and that continues today. The same is the case with Central and state legislatures -- there were elections under the British, Indians formed Central and state legislatures and executives -- the buildings built for them continue to be used now -- and the present day legislatures, police, etc. work under the same laws and rules with cosmetic changes of Indians controlled by CIA-RAW as the rulers. The media are thoroughly CIA-RAW controlled. Sending IAS officers for "training" to the United States is part of ensuring the loyalty and subservience of the civilian administration as of the military to the Americans who have replaced the British as India's rulers. And now members of parliament are sent for training to U.S. universities. Sending over a hundred thousand students a year for post-graduate studies in the United States, Britain, etc. ensures Indians outside government remaining under control of and loyal to U.S. - Britain. I have described elsewhere -- JoinIndiaWarOfIndependenceDOTblogspotDOTcom -- M. K. Gandhi's and Jawaharlal Nehru's fake 'Independence' struggle managed by the Intelligence Bureau. WhatYouShouldKnowAboutRAWDOTblogspotDOTcom .
I wrote: "Just as RAW-induced cricket fever sweeps India and does no good and a lot of harm to India, replacing real victory and supremacy over white countries, for example, with fake 'victories' and 'supremacy' over enemies, Hazare's fake fast was entertainment -- the arrests and conflicts with government are meant to generate support and make/keep him a hero -- sponsored by CIA-RAW to keep India 'Gandhian' -- and so poor, weak and enslaved -- due to the recent disclosure that M. K. Gandhi, a lifelong British agent, was a homosexual who wrote to the white man "How completely you have taken possession of my body. It is slavery with a vengeance". Nehru admitted to U.S. ambassador Galbraith that he was a lifelong British agent." India's population is a mountain of S-H-I-T. M. K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru were particles of S-H-I-T in this mountain of S-H-I-T.
Are India's present day rulers and public figures -- Manmohan Singh, Advani, the rest of the members of parliament, etc., better than M. K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru? No, they are particles of S-H-I-T in the mountain of S-H-I-T that is India's population. Members of India's parliament are particles of S-H-I-T in the mountain of S-H-I-T that is India's population.
The institution of Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) was formed under the British and Indians are allowed to fight about bribes and corruption; what they are NOT allowed to fight is the continuation of white rule over India whose economic consequences also are incomparably greater. JoinIndiaWarOfIndependenceDOTblogspotDOTcom and 'How India's Economy Can Grow 30% Per Year Or More' : HowIndiasEconomyCanGrowDOTblogspotDOTcom .
It needs to be clarified that nearly three million Indians from India now in the United States with very high levels of education and a median household income over eighty thousand dollars per year -- more than any other ethnic group -- remain particles of S-H-I-T from the mountain of S-H-I-T that is India.
