Aam Admi Party govt’s decline and fall was a conclusion
foretold. The party couldn’t march ahead without the support of Indian National
Congress (INC) which could secure only eight seats. Arvind Kejriwal in his
capacity as Chief Minister could initiate a few welfare measure lke supply of
700 liters of water and electricity charges reduced by 50 percent as per his
promise and on his govt’s plan to go ahead with Jan Lokpal bill if passed in
the Delhi assembly, Congress which extended support and Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) which was the main opposition party couldn’t even imagine about the bill
if passed in the Assembly would have to suffer unforeseen circumstances took the
opportunity to pull the AAP govt down at the earliest. Both Congress and BJP
joined hands in withdrawing support to the govt and as expected the Government
under Mr.Kejriwal fell which could rule Delhi only for 48 days.
Before deciding to introduce the Jan Lokpal Bill by
Mr.Kejriwal made it clear that a number of Congress leaders including former
Chief Minister Sheila Dixit would come under the purview of the bill alleging
that Ms.Dixit deserved to undergo punishment for being a corrupt Chief
Minister. Ms.Dixit, an active leader of Congress, whom Mr.Kejriwal defeated her
in the assembly elections by a record margin of 26000 the party couldn’t go on
supporting Kejriwal government. Furthermore, since the last one week
Mr.Kejriwal went eloquent and made it public that both Indian National Congress
and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were in collusion with extending support to
Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani even before tabling the Jan Lokpal Bill
in the Assembly.
The document which he displayed before the media and
Delhites, which established the truth that Mr.Ambani did benefit by both govt’s
led by the Congress and BJP leaders and Congress leaders like Veerappa Moily and
Murli Deora belonging to Congress doing favours to the Reliance Industries of Mukesh
Ambani by which Mr.Ambani could almost double the charges for the petroleum
products.
With all the information being laid bare it was quite
natural that Congress wouldn’t go on extending support to the govt led by
Mr.Kejriwal. In addition to this the Aam Admi Party would be able to widen its
influence throughout Delhi and spread its popularity across India, both
Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party decided to cash in on pulling down the
government from power at the earliest about which Mr.Kejriwal and other leaders
of AAP were certain that the both BJP and Congress would capitalize the first
available opportunity and see to it that the pulling down of Delhi Assembly was
a must.
With the threat of both Congress and BJP staring at AAP govt
of Mr.Kejriwal decided once and for all, come what may, go on with tabling the
bill in the Assembly. What all Mr.Kejriwal foresaw did materialize soon by
which he wanted to expose Congress and BJP when it comes to the issue of
protecting themselves. Mr.Kejriwal and his loyal followers could secure
political mileage which was actually they wanted. They by widening their areas
of influence across all States and thus evolve into a national entity and to
bag as many seats as possible in the coming General Elections. AAP’s national
ambitions are obvious now and with their followers campaigning in the General
Election by paying visits to each house thus bringing as many citizens as
possible under one umbrella. AAP leaders
had already made it clear that the party is poised to contest 350 to 400 seats.
The leaders and its members taking the plunge now onwards the party will have
to slug it out and undertake whirlwind campaign across the States and squarely
blame both national parties by presenting a long list of scams, scandals,
corruption, poverty, unemployment before the citizens, thus convincing them
about the magnitude and intensity of threats confronting the nation since
decades.
