Modi wave fails AAP litmus test

The Delhi Elections verdict 2015 is an eye opener for the Modi team which is still under the impression that Loksabha elections wave is still sweeping the country. The 67-3 verdict is a proof of the people's confidence in AAP and its leaders. Both Modi and Bedi are not been able to create a level of confidence which can shatter the AAP.

Any one can easily come to a conclusion that BJP who is in power at centre simply ignored the Delhi state. Modi and Amit shaw team at no time concentrated on the ground situation in Delhi politics as well as administration. State was simply left under the rule of LG and leaders ignored the connection with people and their day to day issues. AAP on the other hand utilised this opportunity and mingled with people in their every day activity.

AAP neither got the votes on its credibility of 49 days rule nor due to its tall promises to the people of Delhi. Its just only the cadre of AAP who let their hand and ear reach the common man of the Delhi whenever they wanted. Proximity to people gave the AAP the mandate which they ever dare to dream.

Kiran Bedi's entry as a cheif ministerial candidate does its own part of damage but she can not be totally held responsible for the defeat. Her leadership capabilities as a politician is being debated but its only one of 100 reasons for the defeat of BJP.

BJP leadership and cadre should understand that Modi and Shaw alone can not win elections. The people are very clever and they have the shown respective places to both Modi and Rahul Gandhi. Delhi's aam admi wanted Modi as PM and Kejriwal as CM.

Congress as ever not been able to come out of introspection stage even after 7 months and they are not been able to get leader who can make beginning for turn around for the party. All senior leaders are leaving the party as its a sinking ship and no one is ready to shoulder the responsibility. Sonia Gandhi is cleverly keeping Priyanka at bay till the general elections of 2019 as she knows pretty well that her entry at this point makes a kill of her personality and charisma, so she will be waiting for some more time behind the screen.

On the other hand AAP has a tough task ahead with a full majority given to them they have to meet the high aspirations of the public which is a tough task. Kejriwal and team has to work hard with an (unfavourable) central government where for every simple job they need to work in tandem with Central government being central government itself sitting in Delhi. Kejriwal has to put his might to solve acute electricity problem, law and order situation, traffic and last but not the least the rising prices.

What so ever it is next five years it is Kejriwal on Delhi throne. Let us wish Aam Admi Party proves its not just in name but also in deeds.
