Accordingly activist turned politician Kejriwal began his tenure as an aggressive and confrontational chief minister, who left no opportunity to attack prime minister narendra modi for all apparent ills that came his way. Meanwhile he was a man at war with everyone  political opponents, the media and members of his own party. After all, his Aam Aadmi party (AAP) had got a historical mandate of 67 out of 70 seats in 2015.

Furthermore fast forward 2020. delhi is witnessing the emergence of a new Kejriwal a mellowed, matured and focussed politician whose electoral plank is his work and governance. And he is steering away from making any controversial statement during his election campaign. Kejriwal, who began as an abrasive and over-confident leader, went on to pitch himself against modi from varanasi in the 2014 lok sabha election. But in five years, he has weaned himself away from the anti-Modi and anti-centre rhetoric, scaled-down his political ambitions and is focussing on delhi alone.

Moreover the turnaround seems to have taken place in the past one-and-a-half years. By deciding not to take modi head-on or fighting with the Centre on jurisdiction over delhi police or asking for statehood, Kejriwal not only avoided controversy but also got the time and energy to focus on the development work that his government has been able to do for the electorate. Delhi chief minister has indeed travelled a long distance in the five years from being an ‘anarchist chief minister’ to an ‘everyman’s chief minister’ who’s now emotionally connecting with delhi households as their ‘bada beta (eldest son)', while seeking a repeat mandate in his recently held rallies.
