Former AAP leader and a close aide of Arvind Kejriwal who worked with Anna Hazare in the India Against Corruption movement writes an open letter to the Delhi CM a day before the results of the MCD polls announced a crippling defeat for the AAP.

Dear Arvind,
A defeat deals a body blow to arrogance and makes the mind ready to reflect. So, the timing is appropriate.

I am addressing you as your former friend and colleague who believes that AAP can still be salvaged and become the party for alternative politics. I am reaching out to you because my agony is not just mine; but of lakhs of volunteers, donors and supporters.

We have known each other since 2003, when I was part of Annaji fast-to-death in Mumbai for the RTI etc. You have been my hero first, friend next and politician later.

Arvind, the unselfish hero who would never compromise, was dead. In his place was a politician who wanted to manipulate that support to fuel his ambition to become a PM in 2019. You and your coterie decided.

Read the full letter here.
