Arrogant ‘aam admi’ versus intelligent aam admi – Paradise lost and paradise regained

Aam Admi Party of Mr. Arvind Kejriwal continues to live in its world of imagination and fallacy that they are invincible. It is like how Lady MacBeth was unwilling to believe that the Great Birnam wood would never move to high Dinsinane hill.

“Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care
Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are.
Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until
Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill
Shall come against him”

It is so sad to see some very intelligent people from AAP come up with frivolous and changeling stories that BJP won purely due to tampering of EVM’s.

AAP won a landslide victory during last Delhi assembly election. People had lot of hope and expectations on AAP but people never realized the fact that AAP also has great expectation and ambition as it is also composed of aam admi but the only difference is that many are selfish and ambitious for power. Instead of fulfilling the expectations and ambitions of people (aam admi) who elected them, the aam admi of AAP seems to have gone after their own ambition and expectations and totally neglected the union territory. Today AAP is seen as very greedy, power thirsty party.

Public display of negative politics, making wild allegation against others, taking all trivial and diagonal issues catch the attention in prime time news, the AAP supreme would have thought he can easily divert and misguide people and can become Alexander the Great.

The most bizarre and painful fact is that many AAP leaders still believe that people have voted for them but the votes have somehow gone to BJP. If AAP has decided to write a fiction, perhaps their fiction can become best seller in India.

It appears AAP has not learned their lessons and instead they are trying to join hands with other opposition parties to combat BJP. Imagine if AAP join hands with Laloo Prasad and Congress, won’t they betray their core philosophy and fundamental values. If they engage in such aya ram, gaya ram politics will they gain anything politically?

Gain for Laloo and Congress is likely to be quite high if AAP joins them but AAP might completely loose the plot and their political relevance.

Will the politics of some how I want to come to power or some how I want to stop BJP hereafter work with people? To oppose BJP, AAP is trying to become super BJP. In fact AAP is copying BJP and Modiji to beat BJP and Modiji. Will people of India allow copycats to win and defeat the real master?

Opposition parties have lot to speak and fight for minority and secularism than for people of India or its growth and development. Any unfortunate, sporadic incident of clashes between some antinational elements, the opposition always tries to blow out of proportion such incidents to tarnish BJP. The bitter truth these political parties fail to understand is that people are also updating their general knowledge and are learning about new India but definitely not from the opposition parties!!!

The open invitation to AAP by opposition parties is a trap and once the AAP yielded to such invitation, it is lost for ever.

Stop playing victim card and blame & confrontation politics and focus on building healthy relationship with central government and respect and trust the systems is the message the aam admi has taught the AAP in the recent election.

The aam admi of Delhi, the election result is like paradise regained and for AAP, paradise lost and the only difference is AAP has lost it almost for ever.
