Kejriwal's Jantar- Mantar democracy or mobocracy

Kejriwal's Jantar- Mantar democracy or mobocracy 
                                 Aam Admi Party of Arvind Kejriwal has challenged Delhi state chief minister Sheila  Dixsit  for open debate on issue of Tariff hike of electricity and insecurity of women > He has suggested that she can choose the venue , which can be Ramlila ground or any  other open place . This statement is clear sign of Kejriwal that he is not speaking  NOW for the entire country , as he was claiming during the Anna Hazare movement . He has also demanded to Delhi C. M. that she should ensure that no one should get congress party ticket in  coming vidhan sabha election , who has any kind of criminal record ,also only one person be given party ticket from any family . 

                                        From his total attitude it seems that he has YET not learned the lesson of parliamentary democracy , and he wants that the  Open debate decide issues of governance . What he is demanding is the core of our democratic system --for which the representatives of state legislature and parliament are elected . This is done by VOTERS who have attainbed the age of 18 years , meaning they are able to decide their political preferences . But people like him or the one who have created a frenzy in the country on the issue of LOKPAL bill . Then Anna and his team which included kejriwal , Prashant bhusan and others ,now the retired Army Chief  has also joined  the band wagon . Their demand at that time was to have a Lokpal who should be appointed by body in which the government should not have any kind of say . Also proposed lokpal should have all the powers to question and prosecute any person---from Prime minister to peon . And during the pend ency of investigation that person should not remain on his post . Quite a demand of charter --which was not possible CONSTITUTIONALLY . after the three months media hype and anti government element support they evaporated  in the melle of crowd of common man not the AAM man what he claims .
                                                                                      Once again he is trying to garner the support of Media in general and dissatisfied people of the society  Because what he is demanding can be very tempting to  the people who does not understand the functioning of the state . It is not possible in democracy that any single person be given the authority to decide the future of millions and of the state .Even in the presidential form of democracy like U.S.A., there a debate is held between two party nominees to CLARIFY their stand on various issues . But that does not mean the matters are decided on the basis of DEBATE or Shastrarth.
                                     At best his whole drama is to attract media and provide them with headlines like chat vendors chat . Now it is becoming clear that this ex [axed] Income Tax official along with retired[or tired] army chief  is in fact  serving personal agenda and projecting himself as the champion of the democratic cause  .
