Image issue

The recent move of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi to rope in a public relations (PR) firm to "publicise" its work has given the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress more reason to criticise it. "Instead of spending on public welfare, AAP government spends taxpayers' money for professional help to build its image," Ajay Maken, president of the Delhi unit Congress tweeted. Delhi BJP legislator Vijender Gupta said, "Eighteen months after the historic win, the Kejriwal government requires a PR agency and is spending crores to improve its image!" Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who also holds the information and publicity portfolio, defended the government's decision. "Some TV channels are saying the AAP government has spent Rs 200 crore to hire a PR agency," he said. "This is incorrect. Hiring a PR agency to publicise a government's work is not a crime. Let the Lt Governor order a probe into the matter."

AAP's 'anthem' for Punjab

First it was Kumar Vishwas, now it is Arvind Kejriwal. In a video posted on Facebook by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the chief minister of Delhi can be seen singing Kishore Kumar's hit number, "Aa chal ke tujhe main leke chaloon", with the lyrics changed suitably to make it sound like a clarion call for change in Punjab, where Assembly elections are due in 2017. Envisioning a state "jahan chor bhi na ho, jahan bhrasht bhi na ho (where no one is a thief and no one is corrupt)", the song promises a Punjab where "bas aap (or AAP, depending on how you want to perceive it) ka raaj chale". The AAP, which has four members of Parliament from Punjab, is building its campaign in the state on the planks of corruption, drugs, unemployment and the poor financial health of the state.

Gunning for the 'goons'

As Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Convenor Arvind Kejriwal began his five-day visit to Punjab, he was greeted with protests, black flags and "Go back, Kejriwal" slogans. With characteristic spunk, Kejriwal underplayed all of that and said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had hired such "goons" to stall the march of the AAP before and during the Delhi Assembly polls. The result was for all to see. "The ruling alliance (in Punjab) will see a miracle in the 2017 polls when there will be no Opposition (for the AAP) at all in the Vidhan Sabha," a local paper quoted Kejriwal as saying. The Shiromani Akali Dal in alliance with the BJP is in power in Punjab.
