What’s common to Arvind Kejriwal and Osama bin Laden? According to a South Block official, it’s the fact that both have turned against the people who first supported them. If Bin Laden became a bugbear to the US, which initially supported the Afghan Jihad against the Soviet Union, Kejriwal enjoyed the support of saffron parties for his attacks on the United Progressive Alliance government and its officials. Now that his investigations have revealed questionable business dealings by Bharatiya Janata President President Nitin Gadkari, Kejriwal has clearly discomfited the main Opposition party. The expectation now is that the winter session will function smoothly because both sides are facing Kejriwal’s cudgels.
