Just eleven months before his arrest, Arvind Kejriwal gave a memorable speech in the Delhi Assembly, which was viewed by over a million people on the Aam Aadmi Party's YouTube channel and even more on other channels.

The Chief Minister of Delhi had actually narrated a story titled 'Chauthi Pass Raja'. There was no mention of Modi or Kejriwal anywhere in it, but the whole world understood who was being referred to. After this speech, perhaps the decision to arrest Kejriwal had been taken, now only the opportunity was awaited which came after eleven months and the Chauthi Pass Raja implemented it on the advice of his third failed commander.

Article at a Glance

Arvind Kejriwal had narrated a controversial story which was a reflection of the arrogance and corruption of a king. This story was included in his speech in the Delhi Assembly which was seen by more than one million people. Kejriwal had made it clear who the king in the story was and there was no name in it , but the whole world understood who was being referred to.

After this speech of Kejriwal, perhaps the decision to arrest him had been taken , now it was just a matter of waiting for the opportunity to arrest him. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is low on confidence about electoral success and he was thinking that if he loses, people will say where did his 56-inch chest go when a Chief Minister was openly insulting him.

This story is very old , but the question of Modi's degree has come up again. . The interesting aspect of this case is that Gujarat University raised objections before the CIC , but the Gujarat High Court imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for asking for details of Narendra Modi's degree.

Modi's desire is to contest the elections alone like Putin and Xi Jinping and to hoist the flag of success like Kim Jong or Hasina Wajid. In such a situation, Rahul Gandhi's message is worth noting because it not only condemns the arrest but also explains its purpose and reason.

He wrote , “ A scared dictator wants to create a dead democracy. Taking over all institutions including the media , breaking up parties , collecting money from companies , freezing the account of the main opposition party was not enough , now even the arrest of elected chief ministers has become common.”

The reason for this is the lack of confidence in the Prime Minister about electoral success. He has started seeing his defeat and he is thinking that if he loses, people will say where did his 56-inch chest go when a Chief Minister was openly insulting him right under his nose? Perhaps when this question bothered him so much, he laid his hand on the Chief Minister and he became a hero overnight. In this way, it was proved who the 'fourth pass king' of the story is?

This controversial matter is very old. Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi had written in his affidavit before the 2014 elections that he had obtained BA from Delhi University in 1978 and MA from Gujarat University in 1983. When Arvind Kejriwal sought clarification about this, Gujarat University approved Narendra Modi's MA certificate. On the contrary, Delhi University kept quiet about the BA degree. Now the question arises that how did he get MA without BA? In May 2016, Aam Aadmi Party created a stir by claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a fake BA degree. AAP alleged that the Prime Minister neither passed the BA examination from Delhi University nor took the degree. The Prime Minister's Office was alarmed by this serious allegation and kept quiet in this matter.

In response to Arvind Kejriwal's request, the Central Information Commission (CIC) along with the Prime Minister's Office ordered Delhi and Gujarat universities to release Modi's degree. Gujarat University promptly put PM Modi's degree on its website, but in principle challenged the order of the Information Commission. Late Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Amit Shah also shared copies of the degrees in press conferences and claimed that the Prime Minister has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Delhi University and a Master of Arts degree in Inter Political Science from Gujarat University. Arvind Kejriwal pointed out the 'glaring contradictions' in these documents as there is no subject called 'Entire Political Science' taught and the font used in the degree was not invented till the date mentioned on the degree. Thus the lie was exposed at the crossroads.

Instead of admitting its mistake, Gujarat University challenged the Chief Information Commissioner's order to share the degree in the High Court. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta argued that one can ask for one's own certificate, but no third party can ask for a degree if it is in the public domain. The interesting aspect of this case is that Gujarat University objected before the CIC, but the Gujarat High Court imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for seeking details of Narendra Modi's degree. The court also held that the Prime Minister is exempted from disclosure under Section 8(1)(e) and (j) of the RTI Act in the case of displaying his educational degree in the absence of any public interest.

Well-known social activist and lawyer Prashant Bhushan wrote on the Gujarat court's decision: “Amazing! Gujarat High Court quashed CIC's order to hand over copies of Modi's degree in 'complete political science' to PMO and universities etc. Some judges do not know the ABC of RTI law. Supreme Court had directed all candidates to give details of their degrees.”

“Doesn't this law apply to the Prime Minister?” Prashant Bhushan also wrote, “Being uneducated is not a crime nor is it a matter of shame. But lying in the affidavit that I have done BA and MA in Political Science is definitely a crime. After that, hiding your alleged degree from the people of the country is a matter of shame.” Justice Vaishno of the single-member bench had said during the hearing that “Arvind Kejriwal is adamant on obtaining the education degree of Prime Minister Narendra Modi through RTI. It raises doubts about his honesty and purpose because they (degrees) are already in the public domain.”

Near the end, the scene of the story changes. The Chief Minister says, “When people started raising their voice against the king, he said that 'Whoever speaks against me, I will arrest him and put him in jail!' If someone made a cartoon of the king, he too had to go to jail, if someone mispronounced the king's name, he too had to go to jail. When the owner of a TV channel wrote against the king, he was arrested and put in jail. When a judge passed an order against the king, he too had to go to jail. The king spared no one, be it judges, journalists, businessmen or industrialists, and where has this great country reached.” Now, this story has taken a new turn. Arvind Kejriwal said, “There was a small state in this country. The Chief Minister of this state was very concerned about his people. He was staunchly honest, patriotic and educated.”

Arvind Kejriwal, while describing the achievements of this Chief Minister, said, “He made electricity free to save his people from inflation. After this, the king of the fourth phase went mad. He called the Chief Minister and said, how dare you make electricity free? The king had taken over all the electricity companies. He felt that if this Chief Minister starts making electricity free, then my life will be ruined. My electricity companies will be looted. The king told the Chief Minister to be careful, the Chief Minister did not listen. The Chief Minister started the work of repairing government schools to give good education to poor children. The fourth pass king asked to stop the repair work of the school, but the Chief Minister did not listen. After that, when the Chief Minister opened a mohalla clinic for free treatment, the king went completely mad.” Now the story reaches its peak and it is said, “Slowly people came to know what kind of king he is. One day people uprooted him and installed an honest and patriotic person there. After this, inflation ended in the country and the country started developing by leaps and bounds day and night.”

The story narrated by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is inspiring that if your country has many problems including inflation and everything is going wrong, then first check whether your king is illiterate or not. If the country is surrounded by problems like unemployment, then see whether your king has any friends. If so, then first uproot your king, otherwise there will be no solution to the problem. To tell this story, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal very thoughtfully called a special session of the Delhi House because there is constitutional protection to say 'Mann Ki Baat'. The opposition cannot stop him even by making noise and the mike cannot be switched off, because the speaker sitting there also has a broomman. If this speech had been given outside, Arvind Kejriwal would have gone to jail instead of home, but finally he had to go to jail, albeit late.

It is a coincidence that at present Aam Aadmi Party is a part of a federation named 'India'. Hence, Kejriwal got the support of almost all the opposition leaders and statements started coming in his favour because the sword of arrest is hanging over everyone's head. Modi's strong desire is to contest the elections alone like Putin and Xi-Jinping and hoist the flag of success like Kim Jong or Hasina Wajid. In such a situation, Rahul Gandhi's X-message is worth noting because it not only condemns the arrest but also explains its purpose and reason. He wrote, "A scared dictator wants to create a dead democracy. Taking over all the institutions including the media, breaking the parties, collecting money from companies, freezing the account of the main opposition party was not enough for the 'demonic power', now the arrest of elected Chief Ministers has also become a common thing." What is happening in this statement? And why is this happening? The answer to both these questions is present, now it remains to be seen how the public deals with the fourth pass king. She crowns him again or removes the crown from his head. (Words 1770)
