Arvind Kejriwal 2.0 will be a more potent force: Spurred by win, Delhi CM will eye centerstage in national politics, but this time he has a better plan

Firstpost  

Politically, during the campaign for Delhi elections, Kejriwal ran a focused campaign highlighting the achievements of AAP during his five-year tenure. As Arvind Kejriwal completes a hattrick of wins to retain chief ministership of Delhi, the stage is set for Aam Admi Party supremo to pitchfork himself again as Narendra Modi’s national alternative. Soon after winning handsomely in 2015, Kejriwal installed Manish Sisodia as the deputy chief minister of a Union Territory — that some dismiss as a glorified municipality — and set about the twin tasks of expanding AAP’s national base and framing himself as the “liberal” alternative to Modi. Modi is a coward and a psycopath — Arvind Kejriwal December 15, 2015 These outrageous remarks were aimed at busting the ‘Modi myth’ politically, while ideologically he took on BJP’s ’nationalism’ plank by questioning his steps on national security such as demanding proof of the surgical strikes. #DelhiResults pic.twitter.com/7WhhzIhQao — ANI February 11, 2020 More importantly, in his winning speech, Kejriwal called AAP’s victory a “win for Bharat Mata”, and also credited Lord Hanuman for “showering Delhi with blessings”.
