Aam aadmi party is here to stay: in spite of the near blank and the
drubbing, as perceived by many, AAP is here to stay. The recent election
results are interesting for more than one reason. The results are
beyond imagination and is an eye opener for pokitical pundits. Simply
talking of aap, it is clear that you can not ignore them. Politics, more
than anything else, is a game of perception. The perception about aap
among its leaders and supporters including media was very high
after the delhi election and what I call delhi experiment. Therefore
all the talk of aap being over is like criticising sachin tendulkar for
only making 40 runs and not a century. The decision of the party to
contest on all india basis has only strengthened the base of the party.
The party today can boast of all india presence and support base. There
are number of political parties with ideologies like that of aap but the
success of aap is more than that. With 4 MP's from punjab alone and
decent share of votes all around the country the party has hit the mind
and heart of the nation. With bjp lead NDA in power and gradual decline
of communist parties in india the aap is here to fill the space left
over by communist party. With the rising globalisation combined with
liberalisation and privatisation one section of society with its anti
capitalist stand is bound to be the support base for aap. Aap is here to
stay.
