The Bureaucracy vs the CM: Is this the good governance of Kejriwal?

The latest in the series of controversies surrounding the AAP government in Delhi has amply nailed the lie behind Kejriwal's claims of providing good governance. It is becoming clear that Delhi is one of the worst governed states in the country. What kind of governance is this where the left hand does not know what the right is doing and people are being made to suffer on account of utter confusion that is prevalent in the system? Does it solve any problems by locking up rooms of bureaucrats and not allowing them to function at all? Driven by his false ego, Kejriwal is out to surround himself by yes men at every level of the administration. And he doesn't give a damn about the plight of the common man. 
The state of affairs in the AAP has deteriorated to the point where not even a single well meaning public personality wants to be associated with the party. After all, any individual of some standing in the society would need at least a bit of breathing space to function in any set up. That the Delhi CM and his goons are ruling the roost on their own, guided by a rouge, narrow-minded outlook, is made amply clear from the stupidity and childishness in conduct of government affairs. In his pursuit of absolute power Kejriwal has snuffed out democracy from all party organs. What happened to the Lokpal and all those idealistic promises about providing a government where the power lies in the hands of the people?
    
It appears that Kejriwal's paranoid ego has taken over all his mental faculties and in the murky haze of his polluted mind, only one thing shines through clearly: his love for the designation of Chief Minister. He has forgotten that more than anything else Delhi is the capital of India and his government nothing more than a glorified municipal corporation. And it is just as well. Is the despot in Kejriwal fit to rule even a village panchayat?
