Never in the history of Indian polity has the birth of any
political party been with a purpose. Aam Adami Party (AAP) is the reaction of oppressed,
depressed and crushed aspiration of common man that culminated into a
corruption free agitation and later turned into a political idea to root-out
corruption from the government and political system.
The Anna movement for strong Lokpal in the country did not
see the light of the day in true sense as was intended. Politician made garbage
out of it and passed the bill in both the houses of parliament just to pacify
Anna and his team. A section of the team felt jubilant who sold their soul in
due course of time to the compromised politicians in lieu of some expected
gain. Others felt cheated not only once but time and again. This section’s pain
and agony literally cried out to bid an attempt to kill corruption being in the
system. Thus the birth of Aam Adami
Party came into being.
Some detractors of Anna movement chose their way to ally
with established political party for strong India. Their understanding that
they cannot provide strong politics and they need to align with the current
political party yet again turned out to be an intellectual dilemma of doubting
their own ability. They stuck to their way and today they are the bitterest
critics of AAP and so called its inexperienced team.
For the fact that those moved away, do not matter now
because they lost their way by misguided politicians. They lost their confidence
in themselves because they started believing on others. They accepted the rules
of the game decided by others and never attempted to find their ways even under
limited boundary. This also made people
evident that how traditionally politicians cow down those who attempts to
invade their kingdom. The kingdom of corrupt, goons, educated and misguided, lusted,
self interest vested politicians who proclaim to be the custodian of Indian
Constitution and loot peoples’ money and bestow suffering on them. The rules
and laws are most misused under the name of constitution for their own favour. However,
the detractors failed to understand all these before making their mind to take
side with the established party.
The established political classes have made language of
politics so complex that the common man feels that they cannot fit into the
system. The use of idiomatic foreign language creates doubts in the common mind
that can they understand the complex politics of India. It always looked only Havard educated and
learned people can be in the politics. In all this the common man even forgets
to question the qualifications of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to be in the
politics. The common man even forgets to ask the presence of illiterate and goons
in the parliament. If this is the face of the current political class, there is
definitely a game plan to keep good and honest people away coming into the
politics. Well, it was and it is! The
question haunted— can you break the corrupt wall of the Indian politics and
challenge these politicians in open?
Arvind Kejariwal – the one man dared to do so! He wrote the
complex rules of politics into simple language and made people understand what
these politicians are doing and where our country is heading. He made people
realize how the millions’ dream is shattered by these handful politicians. He
displayed the evidence that how they have amassed peoples’ money into their
coffins. He re-kindle the hope into the peoples’ mind and put confidence into
them that they can overthrow these people who are ruining their life. And the birth of AAP happened to challenge the
established political system and their decision on the people. AAP dared to say
that until now what has been happening is no longer going to happen. AAP is
daring to ask and fix the responsibility on the politicians. AAP is daring to
change the system if it is not for the people.
AAP is writing a new history to rediscover the Indian
Democracy where people will be the master and leaders will be professionals to
obey them. The fight now is system centric politics vs people centric
politics. Arvind rightly said in one of
the interviews, “If laws and rules are not people friendly change them. After all,
laws are for the people, people are not for the laws.” Perhaps in 65 years of history this is the first
time anyone has questioned our seasoned corrupt politicians and asked them what
they have done to the country and to the people.
And the result is in open. The established political classes
including all parties are hell bent to put down AAP. They are trying to derail
them as they had tried to derail Anna movement too. They are using media and all possible means
to stop AAP for moving ahead. But it looks,
they are failing miserably and getting exposed more to the public.
We all know, 80% of Indian media is biased because it is
owned by some or the other politicians. Thankfully, social media is not owned
by these corrupt leaders. The applause
and support of the people on social media sends a very strong signal what the
young India wants. One can really visualize, how today, every young Indian wants
to be Arvind Kejariwal.
AAP is growing leaps and bounds. The lone battle has turned
into a great movement and its different because young India is fighting this movement.
Not to forget this time we have 65% young voters to caste their votes. The
change is inevitable. One who stops this change and create hurdles on the way, will perish away.
