Well many would be surprised to see this post written on a blog which claims to tell about life at IIT Madras(lol), let me tell you ,to participate in democracy is a right as well as an ethical duty of all the citizens. And I find this blog of mine as the easiest way to voice my opinion. I believe that everyone takes the following as a mere opinion of one of the citizens of our great country and forgive me if it offends you in any way.Now, coming to the point, I am mentioning some reasons and concerns below, point-wise, which I think may prove to be hurdles if AAP gets the opportunity to represent and work for the people of Delhi or a section or segment of the people of Delhi.
1)Experience- Indian politics requires one of its own kind of life experiences to survive for itself. An ideal politician must be from within the people, should have knowledge and experience of being with all the strata of Society which is best achieved when you start from the lowest and constantly rise through ranks. All this does not matter when an individual is concerned about people's problems but when that individual connects with grief of the people. Kejriwal was born in a well-off family,received best of its kind of education, was fortunate enough to get into the IRS. Needless to say Kejriwal, sometimes appears to be Rahul Gandhi in disguise. You might criticize in one way or other but Rahul Ji is also concerned about the poor.He has spent numerous nights in the houses of poor of UP taking care of (off) their problems. After all he holds the credit of taking the levels of poverty discussions in our country to the very great and eternal science of Philosophy by declaring poverty to be a mere state of mind and thereby giving us the best method to eradicate poverty in moments. Stop thinking you are poor!!! bingo!!! and you are not poor the very next moment.
2)Ideology- Very few might be aware of it, but if you carefully follow Mr Kejriwal , he basically shows a disbelief in the present system of governance in India, the system in which you cast a vote, someone gets elected, forms a government,chooses a leader. When Javed Akhtar, a renowned Indian Poet and Lyric writer, asked about the same to Mr Kejriwal in the India Today Conclave, Mr Kejriwal's answer was worrisome to many. Many fear that AAP could demand for interference with the rules of the system. One which has ensured successful continuation of democracy in the country.
3)Hypocrisy -Timeline goes like this
*We are here to fight for the people!
*We will bring up scandals and scams on a weekly basis!
*We will not fight a case(except some RTI cases) for justice in the court unlike Mr Ram Jethmalani, Mr Subramaniyam Swami and many others!
*We will never come into active politics!
*We drove so much of Delhi crowd! (welll done man!! )
*We coming into the politics is the only way to fight for the betterment of Delhi citizens!
*I don't want to become the CM!! (why man!! why not??)
*AAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*AAP contests elections in most of the constituencies!!
*Some of the notable people representing AAP are!!!

* Kejriwal ji is one of the Chief Ministerial candidates!!!
4)Ability - Running a government takes much more than mere signatures, schemes, projects, policies. It requires one to deal with people. People of the sort of those with whom the government has to deal on a regular basis like businessmen, contractors, representatives of other political parties etc. Now I hope everyone will agree on the rampant system of corruption in our country. I have some concerns whether a Kejriwal government could and would be able to seriously handle these boys. And here-said, to deal with these boys you need boys with a little more command, basically you need a GOOD bad boy and not a GOOD good boy. Aren't there chances that a parallel government lobby can develop beneath the Kejriwal government for the sustenance of the prevailing system, which might be much more dangerous than what it is today.
