Will Kejriwal benefit or harm the opposition?
After the BJP, the Congress party is the most eye on the politics of Arvind Kejriwal. The rest of the parties in the country do not care much about their politics. Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party is not doing politics in those states of the country, where there is a government of non-Congress and non-BJP parties. Where any other regional party is strong. From Uttar Pradesh, Bihar to Jharkhand, West Bengal, Maharashtra and in the five states of South India, wherever regional parties are strong and Congress is marginalized, Kejriwal does not do politics there. That is why the leaders of those states do not worry about Kejriwal. On the contrary, they consider their role in the common politics of the opposition against the BJP. Then from Chandrashekhar Rao to Mamta Banerjee and Nitish Kumar used to meet him in Delhi. But what will be the attitude of these leaders now? It is to be seen. After Kejriwal’s suggestion to put pictures of Lakshmi and Ganesh on the rupee, the satraps of the states may change their attitude towards them.
The fact is that Kejriwal was a headache for the Congress in the past and is still adding to the troubles of the Congress. Kejriwal’s entire focus is on those states where Congress is strong. The way BJP has considered Congress an easy target, in the same way Kejriwal has also targeted Congress. They feel that whatever the BJP does against the Congress, whatever narrative is made against the Congress, then AAP party can also get the benefit of it. Kejriwal is doing politics of taking its place by settling the Congress on the basis of BJP’s campaign and campaign.
In this gradually the face of Kejriwal’s Hindu politics is emerging. If you look closely, except for two-three of the states where the Congress is strong, the Muslim population in the rest is much less than the average. It is easy for Kejriwal to do Hindu politics in such states. Along with the BJP, there is scope for another Hindu party in these states. On the contrary, in the states where satrap parties are strong, the Muslim population is very large. There is little scope for another party doing Hindu politics. This is the reason why Kejriwal is not going to do politics in states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam etc. They are concentrating on Gujarat after Delhi. After that the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh etc. are on their target. Congress is in government in these states or is it the main opposition party.
