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.

ArKe Anarchy

I was very much disappointed as Honorable chief minister of Delhi Shri Arvind Kejriwal has called himself to be anarchist.  This statement is contrary to democracy or constitutional spirit.  He started his political outfit to bring good transparent governance to the people, to ensure benefits of constitutional rights to all people.  His dharna in Delhi to pressurise central government has only caused inconvenience to common people for whose cause he established his party.  His clearing of files on the roads simply degraded the office of a Chief Minister. 

The mandate in Delhi and forming government has gone to the head of AAP people.  They never expected to form government.  Without learning the nuances of governance the party is in a hurry to rise to the parliament.  With the following of the youth and gaining members in its recent membership drive ArKe expected to gain mileage with his dharna.  Unfortunately AAP’s ignorance or arrogance has made sensible people who thought AAP could be alternative to Congress or BJP to reconsider their options. 

Common people want transparent democratic responsible governance and not anarchy.

AAP will take notice of the effect of its recent folly and strive to take mature decisions in future.  

AAP ke Satta

Delhi win had made Kejriwal over confident.  This win had raised his hopes to win in other places too.  He seems to think that if elections are held once again in Delhi, his party will win a sure majority.  AAP getting lesser seats than BJP should make him think twice before opting for polls soon.  By refusing to form government with unconditional support from Congress exposes his fear to run the government.  His failure to grab the opportunity to form government and show his ability, or at least make attempt to give good governance conveys that he is man of words and not deeds.  I feel Arvind Kejriwal of AAP should form the government with the support of Congress and put a step forward for good governance.  If ever another election is held he will lose as people lost trust in his ability and may elect BJP as they are sick of Congress.

Finally Telangana Bill is introduced into the Assembly.  The discussion also started.  So it has to end.  Shortly it will reach the President of India and Parliament.  But Telangana people are still not in a mood to celebrate.  They know that until the bill is passed in parliament they can’t be assured of Telangana State. 

The unity of Telangana public representatives is impressive.  I have a doubt.  Jaya Prakash of Loksatta Kukatpally MLA and Jayasudha Congress MLA from secunderabad has won from Telangana.  Now what will they do?  Do they support Telangana?  It will be a lesson to people that they should elect native people only as their representative.
