Opinion: Kejriwal's Ad is About the Cult of Personality. So What?

Ashutosh | Tuesday June 23, 2015

I am really thankful to all who are spending their valuable time to criticise the AAP ad that's playing out on television. When the advertisement was designed, it was intended to target a particular audience; we were not sure if it would reach them, but our friends in the opposition and others who used to work with us have made our task easier - they helped create a ...

Opinion: AAP Punished for Defeating Modi, Minister Treated like Terrorist

Ashutosh | Friday June 12, 2015

History is cruel and ruthless, but it is neutral. Most of the time it does not side with the vanquished, but victors are not spared either. In the run-up to the 2014 national election, Narendra Modi was hailed as a charmer. But after a year in power, one finds it more difficult to describe him as one. His body language has changed and the shoulders have drooped. But w...

Opinion: BJP's Contempt For Arvind Kejriwal is an Insult to Delhi's People

Opinion: AAP Backed by Court, Now Will BJP Back Off?

Ashutosh | Tuesday May 26, 2015

The last two weeks have been traumatic. An attempt was made to constitutionally discredit and dislodge a duly elected government by forces inimical to the will of the people, who, in the eyes of these evil forces had committed the crime of electing 67 of the total MLAs from AAP and sending them to the Delhi assembly.

Opinion: Kejriwal's Protest Against Lieutenant Governor is Necessary

Ashutosh | Monday May 18, 2015

Opinion: AAP Government's Defamation Diktat is Not Excessive

Opinion: Kejriwal's <i>Supari</i> Journalism Accusation is Fair

Opinion: Kejriwal's Supari Journalism Accusation is Fair

Ashutosh | Tuesday May 05, 2015

Last night I was watching a news channel and was horrified to see the anchor breathless and shouting at the top of his voice and I was genuinely worried about something happening to him. It took me some time to figure out the real reason for this. Apparently, he was angry because Arvind Kejrwal dared to say that the media is guilty of 'supari' journalism and there sho...

Yes, I did say that "if something like this happened in the future I would ask Arvind to climb the trees and save the person". This became a big controversy and it ran as a headline on TV channels.

Opinion: Why AAP Expelled Yadav and Bhushan

Ashutosh | Tuesday April 21, 2015

"Not even the king has the right to subordinate the interests of the state to his personal sympathies or antipathies."

Opinion: AAP is Ready to Lose the Old And Move On

Ashutosh | Tuesday April 14, 2015

A section of the intellectual class wants the whole world to believe that AAP can't be taken seriously, as it does not have a coherent ideology; these gentlemen would like to rubbish us as a short-term phenomenon whose longevity can't be predicted, as only those whose existence is backed by a strictly-defined ideology can boast of sustainability.

Opinion: Why Kejriwal's Silence on AAP Crisis is Good

Ashutosh | Tuesday April 07, 2015
