Last week has been quite eventful in many ways. Yes, we had a Congress Mukt Bharat, but it was not the BJP but AAP who made it free from congress. The fact of the matter is that the AAP made Delhi almost BJP mukt too, almost literally.
AAP won 67 out of 70 seats in the assembly.
The Kejri - WALL stood rock solid between the BJP and the electorate of Delhi. He did not allow the juggernaut of Amit = Modi duo dent his grip in any way.
The Jhadu ( Broom ) swept them all for SWATCH Delhi, to begin with. The Jhadu swept away the HAND of the Congress, The Lotus of the BJP and the hefty elephant of the BSP too, forget other small and fringe parties.
Let us not look in to statistics of vote shares, victory margins, number of seats etc etc,
but look for the real tangible issues.
There are big positives of this stupendous outcome.
1. People of Delhi will probably get to see Ache Din for themselves, if not the whole country as promised by the NAMO team.
2. AAP will act as a counter balance to the NAMO juggernaut. NAMO team and the BJP will not and can not afford to be arrogant anymore.
3. BJP will resist the temptation to destabilize the government of other regional parties in their respective states, with an eye to garner requisite numbers in the upper house ( Rajya Sabha ).
4. There is a great possibility of this change coming to all big metropolitan cities. The citizens of these cities are sick of the existing system of politics in India. There is hardly any difference amongst the major political parties in terms of transparency, corruption, taint - free politicians etc. That is precisely the reason that the electorate of these cities do not come out to exercise their votes which results in bringing the more established parties back to power That stands to change now
5. Most importantly, BJP will be forced to live up to the promises they have made during the general elections.
6. If nothing else,, the non performance of AAP , though I do not wish failure for them, will force the electorate to rethink and look for Alternatives.
However, I strongly feel that the AAP will provide a Clean Alternative in the Indian Politics. Thankfully the AAP will not be the alternative party to look for, away from Congress & BJP but an Alternative to a political system.. That will force the BJP also to change course, which will be for the good of the country.
There is also a possibility of the third front frittering away, which would have been otherwise made the politics more messy.
Let the Common Man rule the cities and the BJP the country at the Center.
