Apologies don’t come easy to the political class – the fact that Arvind Kejriwal finally apologized to the people of Delhi for having abandoned them in 49 days should have come as good news. However within hours it was clear that Kejriwal was back to playing politics as he tries to save face after being decimated in the general elections. Kejriwal calculates that a positive outcome in the Delhi elections can rescue him from the political ICU – but for that to happen – a lot more genuine apologies (and clarifications) would be needed to make him trustworthy. That seems unlikely given Kejriwal’s continued braggadocio and brazenness, but still...

Confess that he treated the law like an ass: Just hours after his ‘apology’ to Delhi voters, Kejriwal was back to playing victim. Challenging the court’s writ on grounds of ‘principles’ he refused to pay a simple bail bond of R10,000 in connection with the Nitin Gadkari defamation case. The court also responded — on grounds of principles of law — and sent him to Tihar for two days. Anarchist Kejriwal has broken laws with impunity and it’s high time that he realizes that he can’t challenge/defame any and every one – that too without proof. The law applies to the mighty Kejriwal as well.
