AAP Sweeps


When BJP had brought the campaign to personal caste level, I thought AAP is sure to win Delhi elections.  It only showed how desperate the field was for BJP.  As ArKe had asked for forgiveness and guaranteed to fulfill his election promises this time without resigning people did forgive him and voted to power.  His request with folded hands, his humble appearance had endeared him to the masses eager to have a new party that will deliver.  Contributing factors for astounding victory are many; the rise of Hindutva forces, Modi’s ten lakh suit, not inviting Delhi ex CM for republic day celebrations may be few of them.

In democracy no party can be arrogant as it is the people who give it power.  If power is misused or election promises are not fulfilled they always find an alternative.  People always vote for change and betterment but the party forgets its duty towards people within days of forming government.  People are also selective in electing party at local – state level and central level.  As ‘coalition dharma’ is affecting the governance one party is given absolute majority.  Having absolute power to carry on their election agenda, the parties cannot blame other parties for their failure in next elections.  Their progress card will be their winning card for the next elections.

Any leader or party should now understand no wave is permanent, change towards progressive development is the only constant.
