.You cannot have referendum for such stuff..Is it legal...Is Election Commission monitoring this..
Media covering it will get TRP...
Fools can be of different kinds, but Kejriwal seems to be a special avataar!
As per the opinion poll nay referendum, the people of Delhi want AAP to take external support of Congress and form the Government! Will AAP take up the gauntlet and form the Government or will they shirk from their responsibilities?
Delhiites want Kejriwal to form the government - Rediff.com India News

It appears that Kejriwal is moving his pieces very carefully.
No one is sure what will happen if a re-election is held in Delhi. It is possible that AAP gains absolute majority now that people have seen its potential. Kejriwal will certainly prefer this instead of taking support from Congress. On the other hand, it is possible for BJP to come back with even more number of seats given the fact that it won other states and is gaining momentum ahead of LS elections. Hence the dilemma!
I doubt whether the Delhi electorate will have the same enthusiasm for another re-election . If AAP forces a re-election by their stubborn stance of not supporting BJP ( or at least giving it an outside issue based support ) then either the people will shun AAP and give a clear verdict to BJP or give AAP an overwhelming Majority appreciating their stubborn stand .
KB Sir
This is what I wrote in this thread on 10 Dec 2013
Dear KB SirYou do appreciate the difficulty then! BJP can afford to take such risks (going for re-election). AAP can't. Therefore, I feel Kejiriwal is being very smart here! By going for this referendum, he is proving that he does things differently. He is acting smarter than seasoned politicians!!!
Will it be Arvind Kejriwal or Manish Sisodia for the Chief Ministership of Delhi
AK wants to expand his party pan India to take his anti corruption plank across the country!
Let us now see how he implemens his manifesto (50% reduction in power tariffs and providing up to 700 liters per day free water(?) per family

AK has made a buffoon of himself as well as his AAP. Perhaps he & AAP will go down in history as the party with the shortest life!!
What a way to make people completely disillusioned with one's Party!
I agree with your view that congress is marginalised for 2014 elections.AAP will definitely play the spoiler for BJP in NCR and districts of haryana,rajasthan and UP around delh ibesides metro cities of other states. they are a bull in china shop . it is good fpr indian politics.Congrats to Arvind Kejriwal for deciding to form the Govt at Delhi and playing the role as CM . How far he will remain in power is not known and how far he will be able to implement all that he has promised is also not known at the juncture . Even the people of Delhi know that he cant do miracles overnite but would be happy if he works with serious intent in what he is set out to do .
As regards PAN India presence , I feel AAP will focus on only Urban areas where they can mobilize lot of people through Internet and even if they cant win they can act as spoilers .
AAP strategy is to consolidate the anger of people against established Political Parties ( be it Congress /BJP/SP/DMK/AIADMK etc etc ) to work in its favor . More than Congress it is BJP that is now highly frustrated by the emergence of AAP and they feel Kejriwal and AAP have really spoilt their party .
As regards Congress they have arrived at the fact that they can never win for a 3rd Term but also know that no party will get a cleat majority in the 2014 elections and would take a backseat and watch the fun of others breaking their head over how to form the Govt . The issue in 2014 elections seems not between Congress V/S BJP but between established political parties and people frustrated with the same .
he is not worse than yadav leaders LPY and MSY
if kejriwal gives power tariff reduction with lokpal ,I as a delhite will put up with him and vote for him again
you know sangom ji in south delhi most flats and houses have a minimum of 3 ACs .many have doctored meters. many MPs have electricity bills running into lakhs which they have not cleared.after they have ceased to be MPs. There are faulty and fast running meters which run even when you have not consumed electricity. without using ACs I have been paying at least 2K a month on electricity.having a higher tariff for high consuming class and subsidising the poor and middle class who use 500 to 600 units is not a bad idea. I hope he has the will to do it.
Kejriwal may have to hike the tariiff substantially for high usage consumers which means right from Rashtrapati Bhavan to powerful beurocrats and the rich people. But will he be able to do that?
As for Lokpal, it is like saying "if Kejriwal builds another hindu temple" I will vote for him again; what will the Lokpal do when Kejriwal promises a complete corruption-free rule? Catch the President, PM, etc?
Looking at yesterday's incidents wherein AAP leaders have threatened to take former CM Shiela Dixit to task for corruption and she in turn threatening to take them to task for filthy and abusive language, more drama is in the offing...It is not going to a smooth affair...It is a minority AAP Government with outside support by Congress..And BJP guys who are the single largest party are waiting and watching to take the plunge...
AAP knows congress is not their enemy. congress is already marginalised.they would like to group BJP with congress and bring them down . Shiela dixit and AAP fight is only shadow boxing . She has no support within the congress upto loksabha elections. congress will not rock the boatEveryone knows that this alliance will not last long and will collapse . Also AAP is getting a bad name even by those whom admire them for their arrogant language that they are using abusing all the politicians as Goondas /Corrupt etc . AAP is using the Middle Class/ Elite Class hatred and contempt for Politics/Poiliticians to their advantage and presenting to the public that they are a different species altogether and kindly do not club us with other politicians .
Two days back I saw Congress Mani Shankar Aiyer indirectly saying that in the 2014 elections Congress will never come to power and also no one will get a majority and it is good for Congress to sit in opposition and use that opportunity for strengthening their party and allow the rest of jokers to run around and form a Government which will not last more than 1-2 years .
