When a sensible man like Manish Sisodia, calls the budget that he is about to present as a "deshbhakti budget", without context, repeating the term "desh bhakti" at least a dozen times, as if on cue, without relevance, it does strike one as odd. 1/4
The congress supporters, with their tunnel vision of course had a field day painting AAP saffron. But it is so obvious that AAP Is readying itself to play on BJP's pitch, rewriting the rules, challenging the BJP to oppose AAP's notion of deshbhakti. 2/4
For sometime now AAP has been playing the good Hindu vs the bad Hindu game, sending blatant messages to the BJP camp that you do not have to kill or spread hatred, to be a good Hindu. 3/4
And now through its emphasis on deshbhakti, it is sending not so subtle messages to the BJP camp, that if you are corrupt you cannot be a desh bhakt. That to be a deshbhakt you just need to be a model citizen. Something which the BJP is going to find difficult to counter. 4/4

There are millions of Ram bhakts in India, who have been good citizens & have been told by liberals all their lives that it's not ok to be a "proud" Hindu. It was easy for this lot to be fooled by the BJP into believing that they are a Hindu party & Congress is a Muslim party1/12
They do not necessarily share BJP's hate for Muslims to prove themselves to be a good Hindu.
These guys are therefore not comfortable being with Congress and now are no longer comfortable with BJP either. Arvind Kejriwal is fishing for this lot. 2/12
He cannot win in any state especially in the North without strategizing to keep the majority Hindus with AAP, without upsetting the Muslims or the Dalits either.
AAP is trying to convince these Hindus, to choose a party which actually believes in Ram Rajya,not just talks about it
All that Arvind Kejriwal wants is a CHANCE. A SINGLE term to serve a FULL STATE.
All he wants is your vote, at present wasted on corrupt parties/politicians who have built their palaces on the strength of your vote &your taxes, promising you everything, giving you nothing 1/14
Arvind Kejriwal wants that ONE CHANCE to SERVE YOU, not himself and certainly not his family. 2/14
Arvind Kejriwal wants that ONE CHANCE to show what an honest, educated, credible and well intentioned politician can do. 3/14
