“Uncommon Victory of Common Men Party"


In 2014, during the parliamentary elections when Arvind Kejriwal visited Varanasi to conduct his election campaign, ink was thrown on his face. 

















At that time one of the newspaper's heading was:- “Don't throw ink on Kejriwal. He might use the same to write history” It seems so relevant today.

Many analyses are coming. Bundle of advices and complaint is ready. Every election comes up with that decision then every sociologist start reading again own copy of the judgement. May 16, 2014 was a historic day that is gone Akmuki India's politics, but on 10 February 2015 finds that remain versatile so many possibilities.

Slogan of Modi “Let's run away” so quickly gone that nobody did not think of this. Up 54.3 per cent of Delhi was running with Arvind Kejriwal besides of Modi. No one thought about 67 seats. After the parliamentary election BJP laughed at congress that her seat is not enough for the leader of the opposition party. But now the party and India's most powerful political leader defeat in Delhi and with the hands of a party that is just two years old. History will not remember this event for just winning and losing. It’s a big deal that Delhi has given another chance to Kejriwal.  

It is worth remembering that Kejriwal apologized for resigning his chief ministership. He apologized without hesitation about quitting and really this apology a rarity in India politics. This made an image of him as an honest and humble leader and people realized that he is a sincere man. In actual, BJP lost a battle of morality with Kejariwal.

Main issues in this election are Bread and Butter issues, Corruption, Electricity, Water Supply, Law and safety of Woman. I think that Kejriwal's victory is a sign that voter dissatisfaction about these basic issues go on deep, although Modi's promises to make everything better. And especially in Delhi, a city where Corruption and Crime remain critical challenges. AAP won because it had given signal in 49 days government that corruption could be erased. BJP failed on this since the acceptance of power there were only talks of bringing black money. The determination was lacking in Modi and his government to bring the black money back.

What was the main reason of BJP Defeat and why Modi magic failed in this election? I think this was dirty politics by BJP. The main factor which helped Modi to win loksabha election, this time worked for Kejriwal. Modi lost in speech. His speaking was unbecoming of such a leader who was a dearest of youth few months back. Youngsters were not happy by his actions and statements. Big cars, costly dresses were not taken up in good taste by the electorates. Although I am also a Modi supporter, but I really hate that nowadays he is become a fashion icon much more a leader. Comparing it with the simplicity of Kejriwal, it is no wonder, public realized him to more close. I personally praise Kejriwal on this matter. But we should not forget the hard work of AAP. Kejriwals kept his whole focus on development of Delhi, build up his party and analysing local problems. Good groundwork by its selfless volunteers and activists has given reward to AAP.

The winning of AAP makes us emotional, but these moments of victory should remember the pain of the people of Delhi, which are the daily suffering. Water and Electricity is the main issue and without solving this why is being shown the dream of world-class city. Now this is the main question that the Central government and Delhi government together will be able to provide basic services to the common man.

Now Indian wants a corruption free India. A country where we can live with honour. AAP has shown the way. It has shown in which direction India may move. Hope AAP will not follow the path of other seniors in its political journey.

I am very certain that AAP have learnt some lessons from his previous 49 days government and would not repeat those mistakes. There have been many just like me who have invested emotionally in AAP. I hope my emotional connect of AAP will make me a lot of trust and faith in this party.
