Janata Darbar: Kejriwal miserably fails, where other CMs have been doing successfully.
New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has come in for criticism after the failure of his first Janata Durbar on Saturday, which saw uncontrollable crowds. While he has now decided to scrap the idea, CNN-IBN looks at how other Chief Ministers have been successfully having similar Janata Darbars for years.
The Aam Aadmi Party had tried to pitch Arvind Kejriwal's public interaction as something unique. But the fact is that Kejriwal did badly, what other Chief Ministers have been doing well for years.
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, is famous for his Swagat initiative in the state. The UN award winning system has been in place since 2003. "Swagat has brought governance issues of the people directly to govt attention".
Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy listened intently to the complaint of a kidney patient in Kollam at one of his interactions. For the past three years, Chandy has been holding such mass contact programs and many get their issues resolved. "I am handicapped and came here to request for a two-wheeler. I am happy he has accepted my request," said a Kerala citizen.
In fact, Kerala's multi-layered grievance redressal system has already won a UN award. "I forget everything. I am in the middle of the sufferings of the people. There are a lot of genuine complaints and I am happy that I can solve their problems," Chandy said.
Hundreds have thronged the venue of Chief Minister's mass contact programme expecting that only the CM can solve their problems. Expectations are high but solutions to all problems cannot be found. But the Congress hopes that these initiatives can take them close to the people.
The Janata Darbar in Patna by Nitish is quite an organised event. People patiently wait here for their turn each Monday and Nitish Kumar meets each and every person who comes there with his complaint. This is one experiment which Nitish Kumar started when he came to power and this is a successful experiment.
While Kejriwal may have launched his darbar with publicity, its failure shows he has a lot to learn from other politicians and how it needs a proper system that involves bureaucrats too.
