AAP should not be underestimated
Arvind Kejriwal and his
Aam Aadmi Party need to recover lost ground in the Capital. The
five-year-old party has tremendous comeback ability. It was routed in the 2014
Lok Sabha polls, but nine months
later, it created poll history by winning 67 of the 70 assembly seats in Delhi.
AAP was born out of a
people’s movement against corruption. According to AAP, It was not Modi wave,
but EVM wave that was responsible for BJP victory in Delhi Municipal Council
elections in 2017. Instead of making excuses, AAP and Kejriwal should go back to people
and explain his government’s policies. The Kejriwal government is seen as
working for only 40% of the population, which lives in slums and unauthorised
colonies. Middle class, which is a vital class, needs AAP’s attention too.
The party needs to shun
its confrontationist image and have a more constructive outlook. Kejriwal
has to start delivering on his promises. The AAP’s weakest link is its
“missing” volunteers who owing to the inability of the leadership to empower
volunteers left many of them disenchanted.
But anyway, AAP rocks.
Even after negative campaign by media and IT cell of BJP, he got 25% vote
share. If he would have got little more, say 4 to 5% then result would be
different. AAP should develop patience and make strategy to counter fake social
and print media.
AAP has a future as the
alternative of the Congress party. It is very important to have AAP as part of
main stream politics in India. But AAP should transform itself as Aam Aadmi
party, in terms of its actual meaning by connectivity with the masses to solve
real issues. It’s not all about the ego of one man Arvind Kejriwal.
AAP has capability to
bounce back. On ground they have really done many good job, more is expected
but LG is great obstacle. Why should elected government take permission from
LG? If LG is the head then what is need of MLAs and government in Delhi?
