Co-incidence Or A Master Stroke?

In this post, I will be deviating from routine and speaking about the political situation existing in India at the moment.

At 11:30 am yesterday, Arvind Keriwal announced that Congress would officially be joining AAP  or the Aam Aadmi Party to form a coalition Government in Delhi. Taking into consideration the fact the the AAP was formed, to quote Arvind Kejriwal,"As as opposition to Congress" and then the shocking declaration made by him yesterday makes me question his intentions. Was it a mere coincidence that just after AAP swiped Congress out of Delhi, Kejriwal joined hands with Congress to be the next Chief Minister for sure and the next Prime Minister perhaps? Or was it actually as the AAP implies via its actions " Due to lack of funds, we cannot survive re-elections if held and thus have come to an agreement with Congress to gain their unconditional support"? The political situation in India has always been highly unstable and prone to issues ever since the death of great leaders like Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi. To sum up, many believe that all of this was Kejriwal's plan from the very beginning to gain Public Support against Congress and join hands with it to be the next CM without any efforts. Some on the other hand believe, Kejriwal did not have a choice but to join hands with Congress because BJP clearly declined its offer of joining hands, to ensure survival. Narendra Modi will do what is right. The miracles he has performed in Gujarat can not be overlooked, the power should be given in his hands because unlike Kejriwal, he is not greedy, he has truly been an 'Aam Aadmi' and will certainly help everyone. These politicians are like ticks, once they get inside, they destroy you from within, they eat you up.The time when words could have resolved the issues is now one, the time has come to take action, take a stand for ourselves.

Is this what India has come to? Women who are worshiped are being exploited? The states are being divided? India is called as "The World's Largest Democracy", I ask, do we have rights? We are free from foreign rule but are we actually free? We call ourselves a Democracy but are we all actually equal? if a person is convicted of a 'rape' he is charged with 7 years of imprisonment, if 2 people of the same gender are caught making love out of free will, they are given life impronment, what kind of hypocrisy is this? We speak about rights but have none, we speak about equality but the disparity between the rich and poor is greater than ever. If lighting a candle would help, there would be no problems in the world. Lighting a candle will not give peace to the souls of the deceased, it will not do justice to the injustice done to them. If you want to truly help Nirbhaya and every single girl who was forced to live through the trauma of sexual abuse, you will have to take a stand, you will have to fight for their rights, for your rights! You cannot just light a candle, mourn for a few days and expect everything to be alright. If you want justice, save a girl from the trauma. If you want to provide peace to their souls, put the criminals to justice and hang them. First the Britishers and now these leaders, I ask what is the difference? Both are equally shrewd and never showed even the tiniest hint of compassion towards the common man. Incomplete and weak is what we Indians are viewed as, they fail to see that we are resilient by force, not by choice. We can and we will rise, that day India will truly rise and no politician will be able to hold us down because their law isn't strong enough to hold 1,2 billion people.
