Finally Aam Admi Party decides to form a government. Kejriwal and his team resorted to seeking public opinion by way of SMSs, Media & about 25 Lac letters sent to the people. It appears great on paper and for a beginning. Does it mean that for every little / big decision the party will seek people opinion ? Just to say that it is for the people, by the people and of the people. Then why leaders are needed? Governments can not be run this way. Probably you can take public opinion once on what issues they would like the government to address and their priorities, and this should be done before election and before making the party manifesto. Once it is done then the party should implement the agenda and accept accountability for its' failure or success.
Just imagine this opinion seeking on a larger stage like a big state or on a national stage. It will be a real mess of sorts. Government will not function as lot of time will be wasted in seeking opinions. In what way this style of functioning would it be different then the present status, when Congress ruled government at centre had already been functional for last 5 years or say a decade?
I remember this way of functioning when in good old days sarpanchs in gram panchayats used to have meetings under a tree and decide on some issue. there too it was never based on public opinion. it was left to a bunch of people from the panchayat. However these people sought public opinions earlier and privately, before sitting on a judgement.
Is the Aam Admi Party taking us to the stone age era ??
