Mango man... This was the phrase most popular for a common man just two years ago. Now Aam Aadmi has replaced the term. Why not, it seems more explicit and more acceptable even to the illiterate of the country. Though the essence of the phrase has remained the same a lot more has been changed.
We will be looking at this change with a layman's view. When I look at the present circumstances people's perspective towards aam aadmi seems complicated. This insisted me to think who an aam aadmi is. Is she rich ? Is she poor ? Is she a government official or a businesswoman ? Does an aam aadmi lives in a 5000 sq ft bungalow or in jhukkis ? Or does an aam aadmi owns a car or not ?
If you are thinking that some of them belong to the aam aadmi category and others not, I am sorry but you are wrong. Is the financial condition is the only aspect determining of a mango man ? I guess not. Then why Mr Kejriwal refused a 5 rum house and an Innova car in response to little opposition on the name of being an 'aam aadmi'. So according to his logic everyone in this country who owns a decent house and a car is not a aam aadmi. Is it not a dangerous trend to be followed..?
And if at all you represent the aam aadmi of the country then you must shift yourself in a jhopdi and travel in public transport as majority of aam aadmi in India does. But it would be very difficult for you and people like you. I am not being critical to him, his party or such people but he must not just hold the jhanda of aam aadmi and play in hands of others and disrespect Indian people. Is aam aadmi of India not eligible of even a decent house and a car ?
I am not doubting your intensions but showcasing such artificial things is an unwelcome behaviour. For a Chief Minister of a state this decision matters nothing in the list of his duty, though he succumbed to such small pressure. Give me name of one politician who have not faced criticism in her job. Is this the way you are going to run a democratic country ?
He and AAP has to come above such pity issues if they want some change since during change friction is inevitable.
