Why BJP and Congress are Worried with AAP?

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.

Emergence of AAP for A Purpose

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.
