Arvind Kejriwal and his stormtroopers recently created a law and order problem in Delhi, where the AAP is in power and should, on the contrary, be upholding the rule of law. The dharna drama is forcing even staunch supporters of the party to rethink their confidence in it. Kejriwal is being shockingly obstinate in spite of the Union home minister?s assurance that once the judicial investigation into the matter of policemen refusing to obey the Delhi law minister?s orders is completed, appropriate action will be initiated. The sheer impetuousness and immaturity being shown by the AAP clearly proves that, at best, they only have a subversive agenda.

Think-tank needed
Shekhar Gupta?s ?Left, Right or Standstill? (FE, January 20) rightly argues that socialism is the most persistent virus in Indian politics. Pragmatism is not opportunism. Manmohan Singh is not a great theorist but he has vast experience in the application of theory. He put the Indian economy on a self-sustained growth path. The Congress introduced ?inclusive growth?. The economy nosedived. Now that AAP has withdrawn FDI in retail, can it suggest an alternative remedy for an imperfect agricultural market? The BJP is anchored to an organisation with medieval ideas. What we need is a think-tank for the 21st century.
