For a man who saw Anna Hazare’s meteoric rise and equally dramatic fall from close quarters, Arvind Kejriwal appears to be remarkably unfazed in the face of the AAP’s mounting challenges. Leaders are developing the foot-in-mouth syndrome, members are rebelling against the ‘power centre’ culture and squabbling amongst themselves; add to this the party’s policy pronouncements and plans appear to be convoluted at best.

Kejriwal seems to have forgotten some of the key political lessons that Anna’s movement taught us; lessons that if not heeded, will lead the Delhi CM through the same gates of political oblivion that Hazare was forced to walk through not long ago.
