  • No longer a commoner but one of India's top leaders and a two-term chief minister, the 56-year-old now faces an existential crisis.

The article from MSN discusses the political journey of Prashant Bhushan, a prominent lawyer and activist in India, known for his role in the anti-corruption movement that led to the formation of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

It also touches upon his continued legal battles against corruption and his critique of the political establishment, illustrating the rise and fall of his political influence and the transformation of his role from an outsider crusader to an insider with a critical perspective.
