The Muffler Man - Fights corruption. Protects women.

You heard of batman and spiderman fighting crime all the time. But heard of muffler man who combats crime in high places? That too in your own neighbourhood?! Meet Arvind Kejriwal, the knight in the shining armour of the estranged woman called ‘Delhi’. Though many had their eyes on her, especially BJP, only Kejriwal was able to woo her completely. And boy! Isn’t she now blissful in the safe arms of this kind man after being tortured and abused for countless years?

As aware, Delhi isn’t just capital for India but for atrocities on women as well. With the trust of the citizens fast eroding, it inevitably was time for a powerful personality to lead from front. Thankfully, a leader with gutsy spirit and resolute focus on rebuilding the lives of the middle-class people has come to power.

Initially, Kejriwal’s victory wasn’t so prominent. While memories of his sudden resignation, after the 49-day stint as the chief minister, haunted him like a ghost, BJP tried its best to deliver a hard knock by pitching Kiran Bedi, the first women IPS officer, against him to stoutly pronounce that BJP was for women empowerment. The logic being: who could defend a woman’s honour better than a woman?!

However, Kiran Bedi proved to be an erroneous preference. Poor oratorical skills and a somewhat tarnished image hadn’t put BJP on a good footing. Her sudden elevation to power has also struck a chord of discord among BJP party cadre. Leaders began to be non-coperative and internal conflicts arose affecting outward performance.

On the other hand, AAP gained its momentum primarily with reformations within the party. Kejriwal’s public apology turned the tables around. What was his weak point soon became his strong point. His early campaigning and addressing of public’s basic needs in common places proved to be effectual in attracting the common man’s interest. His woman empowerment through installing of CCTVs across Delhi stole the hearts of women. Every woman fell for his ‘Jha(a)du’. Though he may not look strikingly handsome, somehow, his political manoeuvres  and promises were extremely attractive for women and, of course, men as well. 

Furthermore, Kejriwal’s pledges were trustworthy because AAP party had a distinguished manifesto to competently deal with the problems of citizens. Every problem was analyzed and relevant solutions were worked out to the T. Precisely why his promises came with certain credibility. The collapse of congress too was a major booster. The Muslim and Christian vote bank tilted in AAP’s favour, giving it a huge lead in this major triumph.

With his ‘Jhadu’ symbol, Kejriwal has swept every woman and man alike off their feet. 

Now that he is fully geared up with his muffler and all ...to fight crime in his own inimitable style, watch out all ye dark and shady dealers.
