Will Kejriwal seek public opinion on his PM candidature?

While the Aam Aadmi Party has thrown its hat into the ring for the Lok Sabha polls, its most popular face and the newly appointed chief minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, has refused to contest the general election in 2014, leaving the 'aam aadmi' disappointed. The 'aam aadmi' also must be wondering why their leader didn't seek their advice before taking such a big decision when his party itself wants him to be its prime ministerial candidate.
From salient features in the Janlokpal draft to forming a political party to taking the support of the Congress for forming a government in Delhi, Kejriwal has always gone to the public and sought its opinion through sms, twitter and emails, even 'jan sabhas' before taking the final decision.
Then why did he ignore the 'Janata' this time?
Surprisingly Kejriwal's statement came hours after party leader Yogendra Yadav had said that it's his dream to see Kejriwal as prime minister. For many it can be another gimmick of Kejriwal, who is known for changing his stand, and very soon he may be declared AAP's PM candidate as the party has kept its option open.
Asked if Kejriwal will be the prime ministerial candidate, AAP leader Prashant Bhushan said he was the leader of the party but the name of the prime ministerial candidate had not been decided.
The party has categorically mentioned that people should get a third option to vote. The Congress's fate in the coming general election appears murkier and to counter the juggernaut of Narendra Modi, AAP itself cannot avoid fielding Kejriwal.
A section of leaders felt Kejirwal had been hasty as he is the party's nationally recognized face and his projection, even implicit, as a prime ministerial choice could turn out to be a game changer.
Kejriwal has been asked to rethink his decision and going by his two-year-old track record, he is most likely to change his tunes. But how he does that will be interesting to see.
