Of egos and alter-egos

 Blogs did not shape the destiny of AAP or its leader.Anna's year of glory was not heralded by his blogs.Of late front end political leaders are increasingly taking recourse to being seen through their alter-ego that pens  erudite blogs to avoid being seen in public voicing issues  that have  strong political undercurrents ,an Agony Aunt coloumn of sorts !.

      In the adjacent apartment in Kaushambi, there are no police cordons as hitherto, escorting VIPs and their egos into the CM's house with the Aam Admi  imperiously held at bay as in the days of the Raj, then and now. In fact no VIP  wants to be spotted in the vicinity. If there is an ego that is palpable,it is seen on the faces of a milling  hoi-polloi at the gate, that joyfully claims credit for anointing its man.An ego that so far had been  the prerogative of the elect, is now appropriated by the elector and perhaps rightfully so.
