AAP Win - A Red Letter Day in the history of Independent India
Tuesday,
the 10th February 2015 will forever be etched in the history books of
Independent India as Aam Aadmi Day. The victory of Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal's
team in Delhi Assembly elections today belongs to every Indian frustrated with
the way governments ran/run and political leaders treat people in this country,
as vote banks and nothing else.
Almost
all political parties have till now divided people in different possible ways
be it vertically or horizontally or diagonally for the sake of votes and parochial
interests. The more humongous the problem, more time it takes to solve it.
Fortunately with the entry of leaders like Arvind Kejriwal, evolution of
parties like Aam Aadmi and social media, it appears that we can get rid of our
problems too soon.
What Jaya Prakash Narayan of Loksatta Party couldn't
do in Andhra Pradesh, Arvind
did it in Delhi in a short time. Congress which
thought that there is no alternative in the country to it got majorly drubbed
since the General Elections last year. Zero seats in Delhi Assembly election
results and less than 10% seats in Lok Sabha is a major blow to that party.
People are no longer willing to go by what the parties want them to do or
believe. Time has come for political parties to do what people want them to do.
No party can dare play dynasty, caste based and religion based politics any
more. People want results on the ground and not big speeches from big stages.
They will no longer tolerate unnecessary expenditure by leaders elected to
power. They want their leaders to be accessible to them and not be feeling
privileged in the XYZ security keeping the very voter who gave him that power
at bay.
Wish that Arvind Kejriwal's government will set new
standards of governance and have simple and accessible leaders across all
portfolios. The next five years will be as much critical for AAP as it would be
for India because every common man wants AAP to be a huge success while the
vested interests will try to create hurdles so that AAP doesn't spread.
One thing is for certain, no force can stop a sea
change in politics and emergence of a new India.
