Kejriwal and India’s middle class

HYDERABAD, INDIA: This is with reference to Aakar Patel’s article “Socrates, Cleon and Kejriwal” (October 7). The writer talks about Arvind Kejriwal and his formation of a new political party. India’s middle class does not care about Kejriwal. In fact, it does not care about anybody because it is lazy — physically and mentally. Kejriwal is on television because he brings in good ratings. The moment his ratings go down, like that of Rakhi Sawant or Veena Malik, he will be forgotten.
