The Aam Aadmi Party may end up having the dubious distinction of being one of the shortest-lived political parties in India, to gain and lose people’s mandate so quickly. This book details how it was put up as a B-team by a leading political party to cut into the votes of the opposition. It also describes how Arvind Kejriwal, its charismatic leader cleverly exploited the popularity of honest people and sincere organizations to climb up the political ladder only to kick them in the teeth after achieving his objectives.

  • Sree Iyer recounted how Arvind Kejriwal slowly started hijacking the movement, especially after the India Against Corruption (IAC) was formed and taking control of its financing and messaging.

  • This book explains how the movement grew and attracted the common man, allowing AoL to slowly withdraw from the IAC.

  • Iyer suggested that with Kapil Mishra's allegations, AAP is more or less finished.
