Excerpts from “Kejriwal, The Captain Courageous” by Sushil Pandit (The
New Indian Express, March 28, 2016)
“He does not suit the Congress because he has usurped their base among
the suburban, poor and illiterate. The Muslims and other minorities
too—Congress’ traditional bastion—have swung his way because he is the only
credible challenge left against the BJP in Delhi. He does not suit the BJP
because the white-collar middle class too has plumped for this qualified
technocrat and his un-politician-like approach to issues. His probity-card is
still unimpeachable and a big unifier of both these universes. But what stands
out in sterling contrast is his courage. He does not look for safe
constituencies. He is not overawed by the stature of his adversary. He packs
oodles of spunk in that diminutive frame. It is this sheer abundance of spirit
that makes him powerful and makes his adversaries loathe his presence.”
