The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), under the leadership of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, completed 100 days in power yesterday.

The stint has been marked by a few achievements, loads of controversies and the promise of many more scrapes — with the Delhi police, the media, the Lieutenant-Governor and the Centre, ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) who he believes is also trying to run the state — to come.

In the course of all the drama, the AAP has lost its character and refashioned its philosophies. It is no longer what it had portrayed itself to be thanks to Kejriwal’s megalomaniacal tendencies.

Kejriwal is at loggerheads with Delhi’s Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung, objecting to his powers to determine postings and transfers of officers without his approval.

The controversy could snowball into a constitutional crisis, governance of the state will fall by the wayside and the real issues of the common man will not be addressed. The need of the hour is to thrash out a rapprochement. It would be the prudent approach to take. The ambiguity with respect to powers between the Centre and the state must also be addressed.
