Aam Admi Party (AAP) led by Arvind Kejrival, incumbent Chief
Minister of Delhi has brought cheers and hopes to a lot of common people who are
bathing in the glory of the victory of the former. The Party’s appeal has
spread across the nation with more and more people flocking to the party and
joining it keeping their hopes and dreams alive. It is quite surprising that
within one year of its formation it has found itself in the saddle in the State
of Delhi which is seen as a phenomenon by all and sundry. If one wishes to call
it a phenomenon because within no time after the Ministry was sworn in the Govt
under Kejrival commenced to implement its promises one by one and it still goes
on, to the concern of the main competents which contest in the parliament
elections, ie the ruling UPA alliance and its opposition ie Bharathiya Janata
Party (BJP) which are working hard to capture as many seats as possible in the
ensuing General Elections scheduled to be held in April- May which is only three
and half months away. It is surprising why the two main oppositions are getting
panicky over the unprecedented growth of Aam Admi Party within a short time.
AAP has already decided to contest at least 300 hundred seats to the LokSabha.
If one calls it a phenomenon, he or she cannot be laughed
at.
Aam Admi (the common citizen) has been witness to murky
scams and scandals, widespread corruption, unemployment, poverty, sky-rocketing
prices of essential commodities, lack of sanitations, ecological plunder in the
process affecting the rich bio-diversity about which we took pride, dearth of
drinking water, thus making a mess of everything when the citizens got tired of
the previous govts and their hated rule, the citizens were naturally dreaming of
a protector in the form of Arvind Kejrival and his colleagues.
This is the time of euphoria. Hence we must be cautious of
the coming days and the new entrants into AAP fold. Their antecedents need be
or should be probed and if found fakes never allow them any place in the party.
Wearing a cap on the head with the inscription AAP in black letters, claiming
that he/she belongs to AAP cannot be taken at its face-value. Many fake
elements may join the new party who wants positions of power and plush posts
who may indulge in corruption, nepotism, scams, in short, exploitations of
every kind should be shown the door then and there.
Otherwise, Aam Admi Party of the Aam Admi could turn to be another
party like Congress or BJP.
Euphoria will not last for a long period and it would come
to an end anytime, if not in the short time, in the long run.
History of every party, for example, Indian National
Congress, BJP and regional parties which at the time of their formation, swore
by a clean, transparent and dedicated parties to the masses.
If Aam Admi Party wishes, always to be clean, transparent
and dedicated to the masses it should proceed cautiously, otherwise, it may go
in the way other mainstream parties.
Now AAP is the only party which sticks to the dream of
transforming, in other words washing away dirt on the face of the nation and a
tarnished image.
