AAP vs BJP

EVEN though it is clear to everyone that India needs a strong national opposition, I was a bit disheartened to see Frontline almost making the case for Arvind Kejriwal as the primary challenger to Narendra Modi in 2024 (“Who is afraid of AAP?”, September 23). Kejriwal, who began his political career speaking in secular tones, has moved on to peddling soft Hindutva, something that should have been emphasised a lot more in the article than the writer did. To safeguard Indian democracy, the country needs not only a political alternative but a moral one as well, and in my view, the AAP leader just does not cut it.
