Jayanthi Natarajan's letter to Sonia Gandhi

Much like everything else, Politics is also ever evolving.

What was once an illustrious national party, led by leaders who fought for our freedom, is now of no real significance. Jayanthi Natarajan's letter to Sonia Gandhi, and her decision to quit the sinking ship, just adds to the downslide of the Indian National Congress.
And for the best!

With the INC out of the game in all real terms, what's prevailing in Delhi, is a battle between AK49 and Crane Bedi.

The people that they are, their ideologies and the backing that they have.

There's a lot of similarity between the two. From both looking like men who are perpetually feeling cold, to displaying a love for art and culture, by breaking into song and dance routines given an opportunity, to the fact that at a micro, human level they are both decent people with integrity, a dream and the willingness to work hard.

What is of importance then is what happens to "we the people", when either come in as Delhi's CM.

Scenario 1: AK as CM ~

With AAP controlling Delhi and Modi as PM, the conflict of interest will actually ensure that the policy decisions taken are most in favour of Delhi. Modi has gained our trust and delivered, and while AK's methods may have been faulty, his heart is not in the wrong place ~ and after his last stint, and having had some more time playing this game, there are chances he'll be able to better manage the seat. A powerful Opposition at the Centre would also ensure proper governance...something Modi had done for about 12 years in Gujarat as CM.
With AK as CM, the changes will happen from the top thanks to Modi and from the bottom, thanks to AK ~ and the gain should be all Delhi's!

Scenario 2: KB as CM ~

Kiran Bedi is also a crusader against corruption and a woman who's felt the pulse of Delhi at the grassroot levels. She is also a good choice and given her background, she possesses all the necessary knowledge and tools. But the looming question is, if she becomes CM, will she be able to take a stand if there is a conflict between what she believes is best and in what BJP believes is best? Will she do what's good for the people or will she do what's good for her party and her position in it? Also, given the internal conflicts among the BJP leadership in Delhi, her challenge will also be to hold the reins against any revolt from within.

When there are 2 decent people fighting, the bigger spectrum needs to be analysed.

It's like the prisoner's dilemma in Game Theory.
With an inherent conflict of interest, Delhi's interest will remain paramount!
