For the
Arvind Kejriwal Government,ever since its ascendency to power in the Quasi
state of Dellhi in India,almost every day is an odd day .ostensibly oblivious of
odds dogging him and his colleagues, The Chief Minister sticks to his gun and
appears in war fatigues with his team of virtual commandoes, Ministers, party
colleagues and his loyal workers.
The Team
Kejriwal buoyed by the success of the most controversial of Car rationing
formula in the city of Babus is toying with
the idea of extending the odd and even formula beyond Jan 15 and the intentions
were made it clear in the Delhi High
court, which has reserved its order on the issue till Monday.
The
government showed air health reports in the court and said that the air quality
has improved ever since the formula was implemented in the city to combat air
pollution on Trial basis for a fortnight.
The Court had asked whether the rationing could be limited to seven days only
to assess the impact. A number of petitions were moved in the court seeking ban
on the policy pleading it has caused inconvenience.
The
Government said people were cooperating and it has long term solutions too like
elevated roads , improvement in public transport etc.It was of the view that
the car rationing was the best suitable option to beat smog and air pollution
in winter months and it should continue.
Commuters
grappling with transportation problems are by and large are happy that the
vehicular density on streets has come down and smooth runs are there. Many of
them were least concerned about the pollution ,but were elated that traffic
jams were going away.
Amid these
developments, his government ,in a bold step, ended the management quota in the
schools admissions and strong lobbies are now baying for the government’s blood
,saying it is an absurd. The Education Ministery incharge and Deputy Chief
Minister Manish Sisodia has made it
clear that there would be no compromise on that. Surprisingly , man on streets appreciated the step . The Issue is all set to
be settled in courts finally.
Today, the State government woke up to a new controversy
when his government appointed Judicial commission to probe into the alleged messy
affairs of the District and Delhi Cricket Association (DDCA)during the Finance
Minister Arun Jaitley’s regime slipped into a new row with the center’s disapproval
of such probe.
Now Kejriwal
is battling to justify the probe and tug of war has ensued. He is also facing
defamation case filed by Mr Jaitley to bring disrepute to him . Some of his (Kejriwal)colleagues
are also dragged to the Patiala court in the case by Jaitley.
With all
fronts open, Arvind Kejriwal is also facing a legal case regarding a controversial
advertisement where he was asking people to support odd and even formula and
his back is visible with his brand of muffler. His crtics say it is violation
of norms laid by SC court that CM’s picture should not be there in govt. advertisements.
Unfortunately,The
Kejriwal government and The Modi govt .do not see eye to eye,but public eyes
are focused on the fight which they feel is nothing but a classic example of growing
atmosphere of political Intolerance .The perception is catching up that rather
than acting and pursuing agenda they have been mandated for governance,
political advantages and losses weigh
heavy in each other’s mind to decide the course of action.
