The pathetic performance for last 10 years in power of Cong
led government is quite obvious to the people and to the congressmen
themselves. Its all known what scams happened in Congress regime and writing
here again will be waste of time of the readers and simply repeating the same. Although
Congress could have lost power in last Lok Sabha election itself but they came
in power again due to the leadership problem and complacency of BJP. BJP was
sure to win that election under the leadership Mr. L.K. Advani but couldn’t
manage their campaign and they were divided lot also on the several other
issues.
Five years later, now once again BJP sees very strong anti-incumbency
factor and eyes a strong chance to come to the power. This time they did not
want any nonsense. Therefore, they got their homework done very calculative. They
got a new president of the party who is known to be great strategist. They got
a popular face for the prime-ministerial candidate as Narendra Modi. Their marketing
team did a good job initiating campaign in social media making Modi a very
acceptable face and savior of new India. All the other leaders of BJP also
supported this move because they had tasted the debacle in last election. They
do not want to repeat it again. After all, they cannot be away from power too
long. The result was, they won 4 states election out of 5 and were largest
party in Delhi Assembly.
However, the emergence of a new party, the Aam Adami Party (AAP)
did not go unnoticed by them. Arvind
Kejariwal, the Anna movement leader with AAP surfaced in late 2012 and started
making its presence felt in 2013. Arvind Kejariwal and AAP continued their
anti-corruption agitation against corrupt leaders and parties. It was 2013 that
Arvind Kejariwal suddenly started stealing media attention and being heard and
talked largely in media and outside the political circle. The murmur of he
being in politics did not go well with Congress or BJP either. If you look at
the earlier videos of different debates and talk shows hosted on youtube, it clearly
shows the political hatred of BJP and Cong towards him. However, the people wanted
to hear him more and ask his vision and dreams to eliminate corruption. His
conviction to bring changes slowly earned him laurels in the hearts of people.
By the end of 2013, AAP had presence felt in Delhi and they
decided to go into the election in Delhi Assembly. Rest is history now. After 48 days of Delhi government experiment
AAP looks to be well motivated and politically little experienced party which
can overpower the gimmicks of Cong and BJP and give them reply which can make
them smell dust. They have emerged champion and have outsmarted both BJP and
Cong in Delhi Assembly. The decision and the work they carried out during 48
days of government will loudly challenge any of the current and previous state government
for a logical comparison. Though not prepared they thoroughly crafted their
move and burnt night lamp oil to achieve these in spite of daily chorus of Cong
and BJP comments in media.
Hysterically BJP and Cong leaders made lots of joke and
questioned their experience in politics. Yet, they were the worried lot of AAP bringing
JanLokpal bill in Assembly challenging the authority of central govt. and
autonomy of Delhi state. Lets not forget
we did not know anything about Delhi state and center affairs and Delhi police’s
jurisdiction at large. The double standard of politics in center and state of
Delhi was well know by BJP and Cong. General public started to know these
details only when AAP brought these into the day light. Both these parties
worried by the emergence of AAP as new political option to the people of the
nation, wanted it to be remained restricted to Delhi and rule in Delhi until
Lok Sabha election without fulfilling any major promises of their manifesto. But
AAP slowly implemented almost all their major agenda except Janlokpal. To
expose BJP and Cong combine inclination to help Reliance, AAP in Delhi filed an FIR against Mukesh Ambani.
With Mukesh Ambani coming in legal battle would certainly spell
many names in power and opposition that led the BJP and Cong seek AAP to resign
and brought it down. Now, Anti-AAP campaign and paid media influence against
them is making BJP and Cong even more exposed and doubting their own
credentials. Their power monger behaviours are truly on display in public.
Whereas, no lust for power of AAP is openly visible.
Moreover, people are interestingly watching
everyday events. In the frustration to
makeover the image what they have lost in Delhi they are committing mistakes
after mistakes. They questioned AAP government
even for sitting and getting up, now ignoring the bigger questions. AAP is
again smart, putting lots of other questions to them which matters directly for
people of the country. Among them, corruption, loot, dynasty rule and communalism
are the bigger questions. Cong and BJP are both caught red handed.
On the other hand, AAP which was busy battling Delhi government
everyday is now free to make their vision and policy clear in different forum
for national agenda. In a limited appearance AAP leaders have proved they have
great and better vision and action plan of clean and corruption free India than
the Havard educated political stalwarts in Cong and BJP.
The best thing about AAP is the humility of its leaders and volunteers
and commitment to learn and give back to the society. Their consideration of
themselves being the part of this society itself emotionally attach people so
much that they feel them very much of their own. AAP and its Leaders know what they want to do.
BJP and Cong just want to win the election – this is the major difference
between AAP and them. And this is also the great reason to worry for BJP and
Cong.
