Resignations
Recent spate of resignations by Shazia from party, Yogendra
Yadav and Navin Jaihind from party posts, their allegations and counter
allegations on each other and at others beyond party, flip flops on formation
of Delhi govt and indecision on surety bond for Kejriwal, are results of
dilemma they are facing: trying to
run a party like a movement.
Movement
A movement is towards a goal which wants others to change. It
has volunteers, who dedicate their body, mind, soul and money for a cause. They
love, hail and follow their leader. This recharges the enthusiasm of the leader
and enthused leader advances further, thus reassuring the followers that they
are on a right path, which further encourages and draws more volunteers to it.
A River or pond
A movement is like a river flow keeping its water always
fresh and rushing to meet the sea. There will always be nameless volunteers who
will keep on going out and new ones coming in .While party is like a pond where
fragrance and velocity of fresh water is lost, but needs to be controlled, regularly
cleaned and managed.
Transition
Conversion of a movement to a party is like building a home
at the end of a road, and then starts the real game. Smart, selfish and Sycophants,
run and enter the house through not only doors, but also through windows, and crossing
the back walls. Leader takes the people at home as his own, and good people
feel isolated and start leaving, like shazia left.
Best of both the worlds
Now this home has
been given the nameplate of AAM Adami Party, while leaders want the fruits of movement
and avoid the responsibilities of a party. They still want their volunteers to
remain volunteers and are afraid to convert them into workers. Volunteers work
as if they are making a temple, and workers work like duty. Leaders owe nothing
to volunteers but are answerable to workers. Volunteers never share power,
while workers want a share in power. Leaders want to remain at Dias and want
the volunteers/workers to keep on waiting for them, and wave and hail when the
leader comes. Listen to the discourse of the leader, no debate, no dialogue.
Keep blaming the others like media, for their own mistakes.
Is kejriwal ready?
Party takes away the hallo around the movement leader and makes him stand in the line of
other party leaders, till he works, wins and delivers. Party is a high responsibility
with lot of work at ground level to manage the desires, aspiration and jealousies
of workers. This needs more than slogans. Is Kejriwal ready?
Any delay in party
formation will be suicidal not only for AAP but for the hopes of Aam adami,
which they have put on team Kejriwal or they should revert back to movement.
