This is the first time I am trying to dab on the ongoings of the national polity by treading the path on which I have never been. An amateur analysis with a glint of hope for a better country down the lane.
Though every self-proclaimed neo-Indian has acknowledged the birth of Aam Aadmi party by Arvind Kejriwal a year ago, very less prophesied his and his party's such opulent official entry into the Vidhan Sabha of the nation's capital.
With 28 legislative assembly seats under the party's belt now, a lot can be credited to Mr. Kejriwal but not the whole. It is the movement he has envisaged and succeeded in trying to take it to reality that is more intriguing to talk about.
I am typing this piece right after enrolling myself as a member of Aam Aadmi Party through its website. Never before have I reacted so impulsively following the trend that caught up with millions. I have always been in a notion that mainstream sucks. Blame Gangnam Style, Kolaveri, Apple to name a few.
It is the pompousness of transposing a silent movement into a political party by allying with the intellectual (or untreacherously thoughtful?)sections of society in the Capital that gave way to such welcoming results in the recent polls.
What drew my curiosity is Mr. Kejriwal's unflinching conviction to his party's manifestos which are very tailor made for each constituency. Aam Aadmi Party is redefining the way how to prepare a political party's manifestos. The hope lies ahead in realising the paper work in the coming times.
Anxious days are ahead for the people of Delhi who dumped AAP with a mere difference of few hundred votes in more than 14 constituencies. Had it won at least 8 of them, Mr. Kejriwal would have been breathtakingly busy now formulating his new government's top slot agendas for the next 5 year term.
The reason for the possibility of holding elections again in the Capital is the apprehension of both BJP and AAP to seek support from other parties to form the government. A lot of people spoke, wrote and debated a lot about BJP ever since its birth, so I am confining my discussion to AAP here.
Being a toddler in the political circuit with an age of few months, AAP stayed resistant to the political lures and perks because it evidently stands on the pillars of selfless, committed and importantly change-driven people.
One nod from AAP takes forward the process of forming a coalitional government in Delhi but the nod is what AAP is far away from and intends to stay that far away. That nod could even make Mr. Kejriwal who comfortably won over the standing Chief Minister of Delhi Mrs. Shiela Dixit in her very own constituency, the next CM of the capital.
If we sitting in opposition and demanding answers from the rulers would solve the longstanding problems of the society, we would very much like to be the opposition, said the celebrated convener in a press meet recently. That says it all. The part, as for now, has arrived for change. Power seems irrelevant.
When we are talking all this, the convener and the Mumbai wing of the party are busy in formulating Mumbai's manifesto of the party by addressing the local issues unattended hitherto by local blitzkrieg like Shiv Sena and Congress.
It is too early to celebrate but it is worth a punch of fists in the air by a common man. This is palpably his victory in the fort of the country. How I wish it spreads epidemically to other provinces of the infected country!
