Arvind Kejriwal, who till sometime back, was seen launching attacks on the BJP and the Election Commission for alleged EVM tampering, has remained unusually quiet in the last few months.

The Delhi Chief Minister has also refrained from attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His activity on social media is largely restricted to retweeting his Cabinet colleagues' posts.

Simultaneously, in the last few months, the Kejriwal-led AAP government has taken steps towards accessible healthcare and transparency in government functioning.

WHAT IS KEEPING ARVIND KEJRIWAL BUSY?

Last week, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched a healthcare scheme under which a patient who doesn't get a date for surgery at a government hospital within a month would be referred to a private hospital and the government would pay the expenses.

The Delhi government has identified 52 life-saving surgeries and 48 private hospitals under the scheme.

A few days ago, Arvind Kejriwal launched Delhi government's online Right to Information (RTI) portal and said that the "Delhi government would put all relevant information online to ensure transparency in its functioning".

The Delhi Chief Minister sought a report from chief secretary on non-disbursal of scholarships to students from SC, ST and OBC categories in the last two years, affecting more than 5.5 lakh students.

Kejriwal has directed the departments concerned to ensure that scholarship disbursements are done by end of July.

WHAT FORCED AAP TO CHANGE STRATEGY?

Following the humiliating defeat in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls in April, Arvind Kejriwal said it was time for AAP to introspect and go back to the drawing board.

"Yes, we made mistakes but we wil introspect and course correct. Time to go back to the drawing board... Need is action and not excuses. It's time to get back to work," the Aam Aadmi Party chief and Delhi CM said in a post shared on Twitter.

The electoral defeats in Goa and Punjab and then in its own bastion of Delhi in the MCD polls were followed by reports of internal rifts within the party with senior AAP leader Kumar Vishwas even threatening to quit.

While defeats in elections stung the AAP, the allegations of corruption against the Delhi Chief Minister by suspended party MLA Kapil Mishra gave ammunition to the Opposition to target Arvind Kejriwal, who rose to power on the back of his anti-corruption campaign.

WHAT IS KEJRIWAL's NEW STRATEGY?

In the last month-and-a-half, the Delhi Chief Minister has steered clear of any major controversy, and has not made any remark that could create a flutter, thereby ensuring that the focus remains on governance.

Kejriwal has not launched public or personal attack on Narendra Modi--a tactic which, the Delhi Chief Minister has understood, only boomerangs.

On social media platforms like Twitter, the Delhi Chief Minister has made few comments, and has largely stuck to sharing posts from fellow AAP colleagues or reports regarding the government's work in Delhi.

Rather, it is Kejriwal's deputy Manish Sisodia who seems to have taken over the task of attacking the Centre on issues such as GST implementation. The Chief Minister, however, makes it a point to retweet the same.

After several bitter spats with previous Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, the Kejriwal government has checked itself from publicly attacking L-G Anil Baijal's office. Baijal and Arvind Kejriwal were seen doing yoga together at an event to mark the International Yoga Day last month.

The AAP government while avoiding any public confrontation with the L-G instead knocked on the Supreme Court's door to consider its plea to challenge the Delhi High Court order that held the L-G as the administrative head of the National Capital of Delhi (NCT).

The Supreme Court has agreed to consider the AAP government's plea on setting up a Constitution bench to hear the appeal.
