When will Delhi kerfuffle end?

Two weeks ago, all India was abuzz with the stupendous performance of Aam Aadami Party( AAP) in Delhi legislative assembly elections. None would have had expected such a performance by a bran-new party, with a bran-new philosophy, with a bran-new team, with bran-new scenes being created everyday.

The fatal freshness the chief of AAP and his honest team has brought to the Indian political spectrum is terrific. That he is here to change the system, or manacle the dis-honesty was evident on several fast-demonstrations with his Guru Mr Anna Hazare. And the Right to Information and Ombudsman Bill stand witness to his grit, determination and perseverance for an honest India.

After breaking-off from the mother concern, still headed by Mr Anna Hazare, AAP jumped into the Delhi elections fray to prove a point or two. But, as the results show, it not only decimated the ruling party, but left the other contender in the lurk too; and self in a greater mire and maze than the two parties told afore.

And the verdict, Delhites have given, was ineluctable; where there was a zero possibility for the BJP; the statements given by several leaders in their unableness to form the Government was evident to even the neophytes of politics in Indian sub-continent. The grapes are sour story stands revisited in this case, isn't it?

We have seen few instances of BJP's holiness and honesty in Jharkhand, Karnataka and Goa. But, they are known for their pro-religion stands, and the Bhagwat Gita's teachings are always in their hand and mind.

The catch-22 situation in which AAP is right now is evident, by their shenanigans on the streets of Delhi. Whether they are buying time, or are doing the homework for 2014 elections, or are reading the mindset of the people, or are devising a future-plan, or are trying to keep their flock together, or are on the way to proving the axiom in Indian political circle that there is no permanent friend or foe in politics is obviously not evident.

 The Congress party anyhow has managed the Ombudsman Bill to see the light of the day. And by giving un-conditional support to AAP to form the next government in Delhi, they are not showing mercy on Delhites; they are saving their own face, and making few amends before going to the hustings in early 2014.

The body language of AAP leaders, except Mr Kejriwal and Mr Prashant Bhushan, has changed by degrees. For, they may be at a sniffing distance to power: which is known to be the femme fatale of gentleman-ship. And the hooliganism by the bran-new legislators, mis-behave charges against them, and the bran-new chief vehemently urging the bran-new legislators against the ill-design of the Delilah(read power) to corrupt them points to the old proven idiom or phrase that power corrupts.

My own suggestion and request to the AAP chief is: 

a) leave the corruption free India rhetoric as you are about to move the rest of the spell in Delhi with the party which is cause of your party's birth(and painful separation from your mother concern).

b) become a milestone in Indian politics by not accepting Congress's support to form the government.

c) don't fear for a backlash in the event of a re-elections, for, if you have aroused some sense of honesty in common man, it will remain there and will not be erased so easily.

d) please convey your newly elected team to remain on the ground to camouflage your party like common man look.

e) Other areas and time is here, where there needs urgent redressal of the concerns  of the common man.

f) let there be elections again in Delhi, and if you are getting positive response from them via sms's and letters, you are bound to emerge the clear winner next time.

Mr Kejriwal, my best wishes are with you. Please stop the ongoing uncertainty over Delhi by biting the bullet, otherwise, a new kerfuffle will be on the offing which will see your dreams shattered. And don't take more time in the shenanigans, you are up to. Otherwise, you will be frittering the initial gains. Because, India is watching you with an intent and hope that you will bring honesty back in India. And other issues, such as the India-US diplomatic brawl, the rise of Virat Kohli etc. are queued to hog the limelight.

Fear takes its tall

In a desperate bid to regain the lost ground, the voters, the congress government has started taking the steps, it should have had long before moving into the twilight zone of its current tenure. The RaGa of the evening-- The Hansadhwani-- is being practiced none other than the PM in waiting from the ruling regime side--waiting to be declared, off course.

Supporting the Jan Lokapal Bill, rejuvenating the flagship program MNREGA, the edge giving Food Security Bill, Prevention of communal riots act etc. are only the aftershocks of the Delhi poll debacle; where few anti-corruption comrades have proved that nothing is impossible when the effort is put with honesty and sincerity.

The cause and effect meeting, convened in a haste, to cogitate over the drubbing in the four states, in the just concluded elections, seems to have produced one point lesson--resuscitate the government in comatose. And the brigade is at work without the purchase of time.

 The leaders responsible to promulgate the NaMo's magnetic effect by degrees--for, the much tauted phenomenon has initiated the process of collecting the ferrous alloy from all over India, to make the biggest statue of the iron man of India; because, without ferrous materials magnets have their job cut to electromagnetism only--are here to make amends, to save the face as well as to facilitate a honorable exit in the coming general elections. And India ranks low in the sufficient electricity producing countries. However, in the process they have been electrocuted by yet another phenomenon--the Kejriwal effect. And now they have started the fire-fighting, to invalidate this new effect.

Before the elections, few leaders were on cloud nine, taking the victory at least in two states as granted. But, within a fortnight, they are licking their wounds.

 Whether the renovated concern for the masses will save the face for the ruling regime or not, will be unveiled shortly. That, a stitch on time saves nine, seems to be the motto of the mandarins of the Congress now,and hence, they are performing the stitches.  For the time being, let's watch the latest pseudo-seriousness of the ruling regime with derision not pity.

A Clarion call

The phenomenal success of Aam Admi Party(AAP) in Delhi elections speaks volume about the eagerness of the masses to change the electoral system in India. And despite an extraordinary performance by the Bhartiya Janta Party, the mandarins of the BJP along with rank and file are not as jubilant as they should have been. And all due to AAP's performance in Delhi  in the just concluded elections. And has proved again that the world still respects, and values, the good qualities.

The inaptness of the INC governments in redressing the issues faced by the common man on time, that is incumbency factor, or better performance by the BJP governments in the states, it has retained for the third time may have worked in the BJP's favor, but, the euphoria and hype around NAMO effect has proved to be a passing fancy. The RAGA factor obviously was not its elements--and it can not be in future-- for the ruling regime, as was sung in high pitch--in third octave-- by some boots licker.

Although, AAP has contested only Delhi elections, but, it has given ample glimpses of the days to come in India. As it will take an all out effort to let its noble idea of a honest governance spread all across India. For, it will need several things apart from man, money and management; more importantly the participation of the common people in the movement.

The offspring of the recent arab spring against corruption, only nine months old, has decimated severals heavyweights in the Delhi elections and has left the leading parties licking their wounds and re-think their the core issues raised by AAP:  Corruption, Probity and Price-rise.

Let the front runners for 2014 general elections rejig their party manifesto, methodology, priorities or what ever; the Delhi elections has shown us the path of making India the 'Golden Bird' once again; and we on our part should strengthen the hands of Mr. Kejriwaal et al, by participating actively in his quest for a corruption free India, for, India has got a good option apart from the current two main parties.

This will be a befitting tribute to the right values mankind has worshiped from the time--unknown. And the world has never seen any revolution take shape per se.
