Is Kejriwal leading AAP into oblivion?

Deccan Chronicle  

The recent charges of corruption levelled by Kapil Mishra against Arvind Kejriwal, questioning the personal integrity of the self-proclaimed messiah of the anti-corruption crusade, adds to a list of controversies that the Aam Aadmi Party faces since it took office in Delhi two years ago. As the AAP seems to be collapsing under the weight of alleged misdeeds and controversies, one wonders what went wrong with the party and its firebrand leader, Mr Kejriwal, who had caught the nation’s imagination ever since the AAP was launched in November 2012. In just two years, the allegations of corruption and nepotism now tumbling out of the AAP’s cupboard put it at par with much older traditional parties. The chikungunya and dengue epidemics, the garbage strewn on the streets, the repeated strikes by government employees over non-payment of salaries, ceaseless controversies over forged degrees, nepotism, corruption charges against senior leaders, with the latest allegation being against Mr Kejriwal personally, the decline in revenue collection in past two years that puts Delhi in danger of becoming a revenue-deficit state from a revenue-surplus one, the constant bickering and blame games have punctured the myth of the AAP’s good governance.
