Having too much at the table at the time of elections in 5 poll bound states is something TEAM ANNA may not be in a position to counter. Having tasted success in a celebratory atmosphere after the 14 day fast in august this year, they went into fatigue with complacency at the MMRDA grounds with an over-confidence of votes. Now they thought they just built momentum in August which may have supporters and in an over-confident measure did not campaign actively and consistently for their Jan Lokpal Bill by organizing their moves on a chess board which led to a low voter turnout. Niether did they capitalize on the existing support base organizing their campaigns against the government in favor of Jan Lokpal Bill because they were busy working on television media. Not understanding the support base is on the internet with 200,000 people following the twitter account of @JanLokpal and more than 500,000 people are associated with the Facebook fan page, the jan lokpal movement at the moment is a headless graveyard full of filth in media while not ignoring the selfless character of people involved. Assuming people are fed up of corruption, Team Anna and Anna justified everything they do but the highly criticized Team Anna are yet to listen to pulse of people. They have NOT persuaded enough number of people whether in the media / general public of the laws in the Jan Lokpal Bill and hence require a clause by clause public debate which the congress is not open to but requires a large number of people's mandate for it to be forced on parliament. If their conviction is so strong why aren't they ready to face the tough questions? Persuasion is most important. TEAM ANNA needs to learn that people are not fools, just that the urge to be greater is in-existent in people. Lethargy is the biggest reason why the corrupt take advantage of the people.
Congress is here to pass Sonia Gandhi Bill in parliament, not the Jan Lokpal Bill. The bill passed by government is Sonia Gandhi Bill because it is by the high command, for the high command, from the high command. Rajiv Gandhi's connection to Bofors and Sonia Gandhi's close association to Quattrochi defies basic logic that Sonia Gandhi is a sweet lady with a charm. A peasant may or may not approve of her but the educated more aware lot may dis-approve her in totality. She runs India by being de-facto beneficiary of controlling Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as Congress party high command. If my news and a guess is correct, I am presuming that the bill was created by none other than Salman Khurshed along with P Chidambaram and arrogant PMO secretary P Narayana. In that case if P Chidambaram was involved, TEAM ANNA will have momentum if they use PC's veiled stance and corner him on the issue of his alleged involvement in 2G Spectrum Scam worth a loss of more than 176,000 CRORE to the tax payer. News is that Sonia Gandhi according to Janata Party Chief Subramaniam Swamy is directly involved in the 2G Scam. Time for TEAM ANNA to get their act together and their timing right.
Actively campaigning against the government's version of the Lokpal bill may lead to a war in the media between government and Team Anna which may be called a dictator by many and hence would lose a flurry of supporters quickly. Agreed Team Anna got it wrong at MMRDA but the bill is WEAK and is like a Jalebi and hence needed to build pressure on the congress led UPA - 2. However, Team Anna got a lukewarm response at MMRDA and has to re-strategise it's plan. BJP Senior Leader and Rajya Sabha Opposition Leader Arun Jaitley is loaded with warheads for the Rajya Sabha speech on Lokpal and all eyes on him of the media today. Best way for Congress was to keep people in the dark before they tabled the Lokpal bill in parliament which did not give people the chance to evaluate the people at large with their SG Lokpal Bill and took the momentum of a mass movement away from the people of India. Congress was in deep fear and great despair at the anger shown by people on the streets and are definitely looking at resilience. Hence the shock of the people and arrogance of Congress led it to believe in getting over the fatigue created by People Of India. Congress did not relent attacking TEAM ANNA word by word counting it a RSS Stooge. Congress is hell-bent on defaming Team Anna and IAC and dis-integrating the team which is at the helm of eradicating corruption. Team Anna needs to relate better to ideas, situations and people who attack TEAM ANNA and the ideas that integrate the team better.
Congress will try to defame IAC and it's members and Anna needs to create a manifesto of do's and don't's for members. Congress has been at Team Anna time and again saying that Team Anna is campaigning against congress and not corruption which may be detrimental to Team Anna's interest. Since Sonia Gandhi promised Lokpal bill against corruption she fulfilled her promise of bringing a Lokpal bill. She took gullible people for a ride of not being able to understand laws and hence these people generally will go by the tide created by the Congress. Its openness to ideas will create doors for Team Anna but the relationship with the media is of distrust and hence Team Anna is once again at the backfoot. Swami Agnivesh's presence in Team Anna created distrust in the air within the team which needs to re-build it's strategy. Congress has succeeded in creating confusion of the people by the people within the people. The BJP has succeeded in keeping the congress at the backfoot but not for long. Congress will fight back as it's a political party who has a tradition of more than 64 years but won't last in 2014 elections as it's a Gandhi family dynasty and by the 2012 year end we will have a lot more scams on the table if Anna and his team press for effective measures.
Not undermining the media, the team needs to carefully review it's strategy and build it's credibility again. It needs to re-build their momentum from 0 and must create a awareness campaign about Jan Lokpal Bill. TEAM ANNA needs to good at positioning their campaign. It must capitalize on existing resources and infrastructure which a rudderless government would want to destroy. MMRDA was a flop show for Team Anna & has given space for government to attack. The slugfest in TEAM Anna has taken a toll and it's a freedom struggle; a 2nd independence freedom struggle from blacks. BJP has positioned itself as progressive party and plays politics on behest of Anna - Anna agrees. However, BJP is an independent party which does not rely on the fundamentals laid by Anna and his TEAM. His TEAM is commendable. His TEAM has laid the groundwork for Anna to surge. Anna is not politician but his mind is as sharp as a politician. TEAM ANNA understands politicians in and out. However, they are bad political analysts and don't understand the consequences of anarchy in government which can be disastrous for government & its people for which the government will do everything. Hence they (TA) need to protect their identity & public status.
The media is being used by government to take revenge but TEAM ANNA is pro-media. Media has encouraged Anna to rise up. He's my man of 21st century. 5+1 people stood upright. We need 50 such people. Slowly we will have 500 people. Over a period of time we will have 500 great parliamentarians. We the people (ALL) need to vote. We the people (ALL) need to elect the right candidates. We the righteous people need to stand up for elections and correct the policies of hooliganism. We the people need to choose MP's who will do work for benefit of country selflessly. We need to have guys who can stand up against bad people. We need strong men who've integrity and capability. The media hails such people for remark. Media is always looking at such people who can be questioned and asked. Media looks for good news and bad news. For media there is no grey area. Journalism may be cooked up at times and stories may be made up but truth cannot made up which Team Anna needs to listen to. Listen to the heartbeat and setup the machinery to expose corruption outside of government machinery as not always a government can be relied upon and we need self-sufficiency in society. We need leaders who can make smart choices and make other people make smart choices too. We need smarter people who encourage young age politics based on performance such as Arvind Kejriwal who's a leader by choice, not by chance.
As Congress is holding all its cards to its chest playing smart moves, it is in a tyrannical situation of sorts one cannot believe. However redundant the UPA 2 coalition government may be it has been down and out for a long long time. Media has lived its beat. Today DMK supremo's daughter and Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhi sitting as an MP in parliament is a shame. The vote bank politics of DMK is well-known. CBI has been mis-used and hence due to the collective efforts of the supreme court benches that CBI is under directive of Supreme Court's scrutiny and investigation and thus liable to the supreme court only due to relentless efforts of Subramaniam Swamy. Else CBI would have been mis-used and the government would have a choice to sabotage the efforts of Swamy. Hence, CBI needs to out of government control. Since CBI is already under Supreme Court monitoring and supervision, it's a breath taking view. Thanks to Swamy, he's exposed the biggest scandal in the history of India.
Biggest of the biggest problem of Team Anna is NOT the government but TEAM spirit. Anna heads north, TEAM ANNA goes south with diverse views on different topics. This is creating a vacuum between Anna and his team. They speak on different issues to the media and answer them vaguely. Undemocratic however it may presume to exist, TEAM ANNA loses no chance to mince words when asked about their views on different issues. His team as mentioned before is pre-mature and goes into a huddle speaking about things they don't seem have to any authority on. Anna the poor 74 year old is fielded with questions daily from the press and the media on variety of subjects and he goes into fielding questions like no tomorrow. TEAM ANNA has had poor media management skills and personal integrity management. Integrity is an issue of TEAM ANNA and the government especially the Congress, BSP and SP will mince no words on the gaps and make cakes out of the whole fiasco. Even within TEAM ANNA their camaraderie has divergent views and there are wide communication gaps and maturity deficiencies at different levels of the structure. Look at the MMRDA fiasco on day 1, only 12,000 people at max turning up though I believe the political parties like Shiv Sena and NCP would have men in the cadre who would stop the people - the drivers of autos and taxis from plying to the location inside MMRDA - still that is not an absolute truth and a valid excuse for not having the numbers. The argument is the fast was pre-mature and a nuisance to many people in a city like Mumbai which works day and night and parties harder. The PIL was a blunder and hence the communication gaps are prevalent across TEAM ANNA and their colleagues. The High court verdict was a farce and it spoke of people not participating in a democratic setup though people were privileged to do so.
The structure of IAC is so weak that people come and go without commitment to eradicate corruption and hence there has to be fuel to fuel the movement and surge it. IAC is a voluntary organization but the problem is it is an organization without analysis. Diverse views have a problem because we need people to speak "in one voice" the same analysis. Hence at the immediate know-how of corruption we need machinery which will not only tackle it but prevent it from happening in society which is where IAC comes in. The people on the street don't understand corruption - the laborer - the peasant - they only understand food water sex and basic amenities and they see the disparity which leads them to be more disintegrated. TEAM differences between Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi are well known and are very much understood both by people of India and the people in journalistic areas of expertise. Personal differences are kept aside during the core group committee meeting which however do make a impact on Anna. Last time TEAM ANNA needed to make its' act impactful but they failed. Signals tell us there may be a rift in TEAM ANNA or proper management skills are not being executed to progress the movement into a huge storm as storm is slowly losing its sheen. Exemplarily any movement to grow needs consistency and the consistency has turned into dubious credibility and inconsistency, thanks to the difference of view points and personal differences in TEAM ANNA. Not to mention poor media management and movement management skills by TEAM ANNA.
