DNA Micro Edit: 1st Punjab then Rajouri, Delhi CM still blames it on EVMs

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is indulging in seemingly baseless shenanigans to seek attention and deflect from issues which put him in a corner.

The latest magnum opus from his production house is accusing the Centre of using tampered EVM machines to win polls. While the AAP president is talking about how he can prove that the machines can be easily rigged, his antics sound more like a desperate cry to pin his defeat in Punjab on something other than the party, and refusing to accept that his megalomaniac and autocratic ways have scripted this debacle.

The Rajouri Garden bypolls and Delhi MCD polls are further writings on the wall which Kejriwal does not want to acknowledge. AAP lost in Rajouri Garden and imminently, his party will be vanquished in the civic elections too, which explains his feeble and foolhardy attempts to blame it on EVMs and the Centre.

His party workers are already feeling the heat in their wards, indicating that sailing through their first victory with corruption as their poll plank will no longer work as the aam aadmi can see through it now. The insecurity is palpable in the body language of AAP party members who are also worried about their fate in the civic elections.

They know that thumping majority once can be a fluke but to come second time round would require lot of hard work coupled with regaining lost faith of the voters.
