Now the Elections results of Delhi,MP,Rajasthan,Chhattisgarh are out it is time to know what is happening in India.
Congress is on the decline.
BJP, despite its sincere effort
s to lose by infighting has made a come back.
This is probably due to Shivraj Singh Chouhan in the State and Narendra Modi as the PM Candidate for BJP .
But what stumped every one is Aam Aadmi Party‘s performance in Delhi.where it had secured 28 seats, pushing Congress to the third place. which has been ruling for 15 years.
Net result is none of the parties can form the Government and a spell of President’s Rule is likely for Delhi.
Kejriwal has captured more seats in a year than the maverick Vijayakanth, Tamil Actor turned Politician of Tamil Nadu, in terms of the time frame to secure this much seats in an Assembly elections.
Vijayakanth started off in a high note and idealism, but is marred by his Drinking Habits and unruly behaviour in Public, like beating his Election candidate in full Public view.
Add this to the Regional politics of Tamil Nadu, where the DMK and the AIADMK hold the masses by sheer communication skills and money power.
Kejriwal too ha started in a high note but faltered when he started accusing people in Pres Meets and his huffing and hawing to reply about the mismanagement of funds.
Running for elections need money and one has to take funds from others, mainly from corporate.
And we have entrenched parties , built over years consisting of corrupt politicians and more importantly their off spring and clan who wield spheres of influence.
Add to this the bureaucracy , which has an interest in promoting wither the ruling party or the opposition which has been there for quite some years to aid abet their ways of corruption.
Not to forget the fears fueled by Secularism, Religious non sense,regional and linguistic pressures and the well entrenched caste vote bank politics nurtured by the parties since independence.
Kejriwal and Vijayakanth, though well-meaning seem to forget these ground realities.
Even if they did they can no less about it.
Vijayakanth, as Kejriwall of now resisted the alliance with the established parties, which are corrupt and are hated by people.
But electoral arithmetic forced him to align with the AiADMK and win a spectacular entry into Tamil Nadu Assembly as Opposition Leader.
But not understanding realpolitik and social issues went on playing to the gallery,without using the lunching pad as an Opposition leader in the Assembly.
Net result, he is in the wilderness.
Arvind Kejriwal reminds me of Vijayakanth of the past when he used to shun every party on the grounds of corruption.
Forced by the ground reality and the party members who wanted to form a Government, earn money in the process, fell into the trap of Alliance politics.
Let us hope Arvind does not fall into this trap.
However the movement against Corruption and bad governance has well begun, it is the responsibility of the people like us, to aid Aam Aadmi Party, by not falling into free sops,non-existent issues in matters of Religion and region and create an atmosphere for his party to fight.
There is likely to be uncertainty in the electoral results and the formation of Government.
So be it.
It will change.
This is the Dance of Democracy.
Wait, if you want to change.
Rushing will create chaos and anarchy and worse entrench whom we want to throw out..
