India's Arvind Kejriwal's 'anarchic' politics

Shows how little Indian politics one understands from outside India, especially from a monolithic culture & BBC is no exception
Barring one example in the late 1960s - when the chief minister of West Bengal, Ajoy Mukherjee, launched a 72-hour hunger strike in a Calcutta park against his own coalition government for its failure to keep the peace - India has never seen the head of an elected government and his ministers leading a street protest.
I can vividly remember both Dr. Karunanidi & Ms. Jayalalitha lead hunger strikes against the central (not federal) government.

Meanwhile calling Kejriwal an anarchist is like calling is beyond non-sense. How is he without absolute control of policing run a government of any sort. It defies the very basic of democracy.
