He might be new to politics but Arvind Kejriwal has been making really canny political moves. Is he India’s sharpest politician? Consider these points:
a) Arvind Kejriwal pulled off his biggest poll promise – slashing utility bills – within days of becoming CM, something that his opponents thought he could never do.
b) With gestures like travelling by public transport, he has captured the imagination of the urban middle class, previously Narendra Modi’s preserve.
c) If Kejriwal investigates corruption involving Delhi’s previous government and the Congress withdraws support, it will only bolster Kejriwal’s image.
