Former team Anna member and Arvind Kejriwal’s colleague during Jan Lokpal agitation, former IPS officer Kiran Bedi on Saturday asked Kejriwal and his team to not run governance from “rooftops” and take time to listen and absorb grievances before taking decisions.
Bedi, who has openly come out in support of BJP leader Narendra Modi’s candidature for Prime Ministerial post citing his governance records, also said “governance demands solid maturity” and “not street always.”
“For God's sake, Arvind and Team, Secretariats are not run from Roof Tops! Pl(ease) take time to listen/absorb! And then take considered decisions!,” Bedi tweeted Saturday.
Kejriwal’s Janta Darbar was suspened due to mismanagement of the large crowd that arrived there.
“Leadership which opts to preside over destiny of millions is for delivering with comprehensive understanding not learning at people's cost. Governance demands solid maturity of Governance + Administration which institutionalizes change Secretariat is meant for! Not Streets always!,” said Bedi.
However, Kejriwal’s experiment of meeting people directly to listen their grievances will continue. He has already promised to hold Janta darbar within a week with better management for handling crowd.
