Ever since Arvind Kejriwal announced the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), it has been at the centre of fierce debate, whether in boardrooms, local trains or galli mohallas. This isn’t surprising, as the party is selling the utopian ideal of an improved nation, and says it will get there by vanquishing the scourge of corruption.

So, is this all for real? The fact that there is no talk beyond scams and corruptions is cause for concern. A cursory look at the results of past elections will prove beyond doubt that many candidates have made it to the august houses, despite having serious allegations levelled against them. People are simply used to corruption.
