Arvind Kejriwal knows the art of making every occasion a big one. They can make any small incident big and try to take maximum advantage of any incident. Then when Mehraj Malik from his party won the election from Doda seat of Jammu and Kashmir, Kejriwal made it a big issue. He reached Kashmir to hold a thanksgiving rally. The reality is that Aam Aadmi Party has no role in Mehraj Malik’s victory. No AAP leader had gone to his campaign. Even Kejriwal did not go. Malik is a social worker and has organized many movements raising the issues of common people. He had contested the 2014 assembly elections as an independent and also contested the Doda District Council elections in 2020 as an independent. He fought on his own and won, so Kejriwal went there to take credit.
One reality is that Kejriwal’s party had contested elections on seven seats in Kashmir, in which Mehraj Malik won one seat and on the remaining six seats, Aam Aadmi Party candidates got less votes than NOTA. The security deposit was confiscated but every leader knows how embarrassing it is to get less votes than NOTA on every seat. But it doesn’t matter to Kejriwal. The second boastful thing he did when he went there was that he told the future Chief Minister Omar Abdullah that the Central Government has made Jammu and Kashmir a state like Delhi, so if Omar faces any problem in running the government, then he can contact him because he knows how to run Delhi. Are. Think, every day in Delhi Kejriwal keeps saying that the Lieutenant Governor is not letting him run Delhi and while going there he was saying that he knows how to run Delhi! The reality is that their government does not do any work in Delhi and when people ask, they say that the Lieutenant Governor does not allow them to do the work. But after going to Kashmir, they will teach Omar Abdullah how to run the state under the rule of Lieutenant Governor! Only Kejriwal can do this work.
