It may interest the reader that, before the backroom parleys above, Kejriwal had tried to use even LK Advani to climb the ladder of fame. Theatre personality Lovleen Thadani, whose office in Zamrudpur is used by the AAP these days, and whose family is known to Advani’s since their years in Sindh (now in Pakistan), informed this writer at her residence three years ago that she had taken Kejriwal to the BJP patriarch before the Jan Lokpal movement to figure out ways of making his activism a success. Advani reportedly turned him down saying his own yatras were being greeted with lukewarm public response, and that he must look for some other mascot for his movement.
