It appears same situation as it had been during freedom struggle – Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru & Bhagat Singh, Netaji .
Goal was same but path were different.
AS A COMMON MAN I CAN’T LEAVE TEAM ANNA, EVEN IF KEJRIWAL TELLS WHY ANNA IS SUPPORTNG JOKPAL, SIMILARLY I CAN’T LEAVE AAP AND KEJRIWAL, EVEN IF ANNA TELLS POLITICS IS DIRTY GAME.
IN MY VIEW IT IS GOOD FOR INDIA WHEN SOME HONEST PERSONS OPTED FOR MOVEMENT PATH AND SOME OPTED FOR ELECTORAL POLITICS.
BOTH AAP AND TEAM ANNA ON SAME STAGE (EITHER ELECTORAL OR NONELECTORAL) WOULD HAVE ACHIEVED LESS THEN WHAT SEEMS POSSIBLE NOW.
Even after formation of strong lokpal we will need both Team Anna & AAP. Both are not antagonistic they are complimentary to each other. Without Anna’s movement AAP couldn’t be born and won election. Without pressure from AAP Lokpal would never be a reality.
If we remove Team Anna’s movement for Lokpal from history-
- AAP alone could never been able to mobilise public in its favour,
- it could never be able to get donations and support from all over the world,
- it was not possible for AAP to get time & space in media.
Similarly-
Before AAP’s spectacular performance in the Delhi election-
-it was not possible for anyone to get Lokpal bill passed by present parliament,
-it was not possible for anyone to get unconditional support from MLA to form Govt.
-it was not possible to witness the situation where all political parties avoid horse trading to form the Govt. & prefer to sit in opposition then to form the Govt.
Before declaration of Delhi Assembly Result, no major political parties taken Anna’s proposed fast seriously. Select committee submitted its report in November-2012, but nothing was done in 2012 winter session. Now they are in hurry to pass Lokpal bill as early as possible and in the form which satisfies Anna; even without a debate, even in the presence of resistance & Hungama in the House from any party for any reason. Why is this hurry?
Had AAP didn't perform well in Delhi Election, All political parties would have preferred to left Lokpal bill for discussion after 2014 Parliamentary election.
What gets communicated to common men is not what someone tells but what he hides in his mind.
Anna movement at Jantar Mantar -April2011 & Ramlila Maidan August 2011 were successful due to huge participation of common men and thus resulted in pressure over Govt.& political parties to pretend something in favour of formation of Lokpal. Loksava passed the bill but due to “shortage of time” it couldn't be passed in the Rajyasava in December 2011.
But due to ill health of Anna &/or some unknown reason December 2011 Hunger strike at MMRDA grounds Mumbai, public participation was not as much as desired & now politicians started to think that public has short memories.
Both Govt. & opposition started to think- whatever Anna does; no one can replace them in electoral politics, so last 6 parliamentary sessions lapsed without any concrete step in the direction of formation of strong Lokpal. In last 2 years they never felt any pressure, they never get threatened.
Team Anna and AAP are strength of each other because their goal is same and because they both are honest in their path.
Anna’s movement creates awareness among masses; it inspires millions to opt for honest path.
Kejriwal and AAP compel other political parties to opt for new ways of honest politics and give importance to voice of honest members of their own party in their party forum.

In parliamentary democracy we need honest people, not only in one party but in all political parties. Anna’s path will motivate for honesty while AAP’s path will compel for it.
My wish is to see both Team anna & AAP members on the same stage as it was during Ramlila Maidan Agitation, but I know if my wish comes true it will weaken our struggle for honesty.
To opt for two different path by erstwhile Team Anna to achieve same Goal is due to God's desire and definitely for good. It gives strength not weakens the struggle if all respect each others decision and avoid criticizing (as till now).
LONG LIVE TEAM ANNA! LONG LIVE AAP!
