Many derogatory findings about Kejariwal are surfacing on the net. Without going into the question of truth let me say that there is no person on earth who can call himself an angel. We need checks and balances only because weaknesses are so human.
And thus I say that I do not support Kejariwal - the man - but his demand for creating a credible and vibrant bulwark against rampant corruption. In fact I will support the most detestable person in the country if he stood fully and truly committed to the idea.
The extent to which the political class is opposed to the idea (don't let their pronouncements fool you) is evident from the fact that today it is possible for Modi to turn the current wave in his favor into a hurricane by declaring his support for a strong Lokpal, but he won't do it. It was possible for Congress to redeem itself by supporting a credible Lokpal, but they opted for a Jokepal instead. Why, for God's sake, why?
Then there are some amongst us who say let Modi come first, Lokpal can come next. Absolutely wrong! Let Lokpal come first and then a strong leader like Modi can do a lot of good. If Modi comes first, credible Lokpal will never come. And without checks and balances strong headed leaders like Modi may do more damage than good.
So I do not support Kejariwal but I would support ANYONE who can give this country a credible Lokpal and save us from ourselves.
