AAP surges from zero to 29 seats in Delhi, an infinite gain.

The past…the Anna-Kejriwal Movement, the up-rise of common citizens in Nirbhaya case and emergence of Aam Aadmi Party on Indian political horizon are of great historical significance. The AAP’s phenomenal march towards winning 27 seats in Delhi Assembly election with a slender difference of vote share with BJP which is nearing to get 33 seats is a grand positive development for the Indian democracy. The AAP has almost formed the Government and Arvind Kejriwal has almost become the Chief Minister of Delhi, the power centre of Indian democracy. It re-establishes the divine truth that at the end, what wins is truth… “Satyamev Jayate” the Truth Alone Triumphs. The rise of AAP is unparalleled in the history of independent India’s political arena and cannot be compared with likes of NTR’s party, BSP, AGP and other regional political parties. In the past, people of a particular region or community could identify themselves with the ideology of these parties but in case of AAP, the people are identifying and connecting themselves with it irrespective of the region, religion and community. The core, the subtle and inherent desire of human psychic to be identified and side with the “truth” has found a political outfit, an alliance to rely on in the form of AAP. The AAP could touch this core desire in the human sub-consciousness with their transparent & truthful anti-corruption drive and redefining the idea of governance of the people, by the people and for the people and could challenge the mighty and traditional BJP and Congress parties. (I remember Sheila Dixit uttering on TV a few days back about Kejriwal as “ Aie aadmi kaun hai? Gaziabad mein rahta hai aur Dilli mein aake jhadu chala raha hai?”,  demeaning not only Kejriwal but the aam aadmi of the country. The beauty of the democracy is that the same Sheila Dixit stands defeated today in the hands of the same aam aadmi, Arvind Kejriwal.  The other, Mr. Gadkari of BJP calling AAP a “chiilar party” and many others were calling AAP as vote cutters & vote wasters).

The AAP, right from it’s’ inception has been changing the Indian political canvas. AAP gained success even before it went into election huddle. It includes the effect on BJP forcing it to substitute its’ CM candidate from Vijay Goel to Dr. Harsh Vardhan. Even Rahul Gandhi is appreciating today the good work done by Kejriwal and appears to make him his role model. The AAP is now forcing the political parties to rethink about their old, so called politics of muscle and money power and politics of vote bank and “Note” bank.  The victory of AAP cannot be singularly attributed to AAP and Arvind Kejriwal alone but mainly to the people who were terribly upset with the arrogant, opportunistic and questionable corrupt practices of the traditional parties leave aside sky rocketing inflation, high onion and vegetable prices, unemployment, economic downturn etc. etc. India is today hovering at 94^th rank in the list of most corrupt nations as per Transparency International. Even after 67 years of India’s independence, India remains a poor, poorly developed and a corrupt nation. This has to change and change for the best in its’ right earnest. The rule of governance and the ways of nation’s development must change. If AAP, a party with a difference, could maintain the spirit of “Satyamev Jayate”, and value based politics, this will definitely lead to the ultimate change and the old Hindi film song “Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Jindagi Mein Aaye.. to Baat Ban Jaaye…”, “AAP” Jaisa Koi Bharat ki Jindagi Mein Aaye… to Baat Ban Jaaye…”will come true and the honor of India and Indian democracy will be restored back, no doubt.
