Demystifying AAP

The journey from “About Aspirations of People” to “Abrogating Aspirations of Police”.

The sanctity and purity of the day, when the Crusade of the people: AAP, dethroned the hierarchy and occupied the throne following an unbiased, transparent and governance delivering approach, could still be felt. Their win actually symbolized the win of the nation and its people, paving way for participative and corruption-free democracy. It was really worthwhile to notice how people from varied walks of life: Engineers, Businessmen, Doctors, housewives, rickshaw-pullers, officers poured in their contributions ranging from Rs.10 to several lakhs, to make this seemingly honest party, come to power. It set a contrast example of how elections could still be won, following the guidelines laid out by the Election Commission. Winning is not about hiding the donations of the party and wooing the voters financially but it’s about identifying the problems and providing the platform to eradicate them.

With their memorandum of free water and Free Electricity, they were the source of extreme form of Media Coverage across all-the Media-Channels, with each one of them running the same repeated documentary-type news of ArvindJi from morning till evening, portraying him as the messiah of the people, the traits of whom were amazingly bright, right from his birth. That’s how media functions in our nation, this moment you are The Great Captain Cool, winning the highly acclaimed series one after another and the very next moment you are a stubborn guy, unwilling to modify your Final Eleven. Well Never Mind. From rejecting support from Congress to overturning the request of personal Security; from abrogating the enormous govt. villa to the quashing of VIP culture; the Delhi CM has been the eternal source of limitless Media Attention. Whether the above declarations were declared to be followed or were just a mere act of publicity, is a debatable argument.

Whatever be the case, with AAP taking on the central role, people were quite optimistic that a revolution was in making. Wind of Positive Development and efficient Delivery of Services to the people was about to swirl across Delhi. But instead, what is being delivered to the people: ……  Yeah! You could substitute that Famous Dialog of KAPIL here!!  Though they have only been a month long Govt., they have a long way to go from this point. But there is a popular saying, “Poot ke Paon, Paalne mein dikh jaate hain”.

The CM of the capital of India goes onto a strike, shunning his responsibilities and urges the people and police to join him in the agitation in front of PM Office, demanding the Delhi police control to be transferred to Him, along with the suspension of 4 police Officers who tried to save foreign nationalities, from the Law Minister of Delhi himself!!! Improving the Situation doesn’t mean, going out there in public and humiliating anyone and that too women, just because they seemed to be involved in illegal activities. There are legal ways to do that. Flouting the laws openly and publicly and stamping yourself as an Anarchist, after being the CM, is certainly not a trait desired in any CM. If CMs too need to organize Strikes and Bandhs to get things done, without giving a thought to the discomfort and chaos being caused to the people, then why in all, there is a post of CM in the first place. 

Sir, people, after a long time have invested their support, time and energy, form the bottom of their hearts, in a crusade like this and are waiting for something good to happen to them and their country.  On top of this, instead of delivering them good governance, all of a sudden you are being so desperate to contest the upcoming Lok-Sabha elections (although you first neglected it). Your performance has not been tested on the State level, then how could you promise to deliver at the national level.  Without delivering any performance, you tried to cash-in your imminent popularity. Though it’s truly said, “It’s good to wash your hands in flowing water.” But only if you are going to eat after that. When You enter in a new house, first you need to sort some things out, arrange them a little bit and then you take up the task of relaxing and eating. Entering the home and directly thinking of relaxation could leave your house in complete disorder. There is no doubt about the effectiveness of the protests as the tool to raise your opinions against the existing system. But the sole reliance on them, even when you are the system and hold power is not a sensible idea. People supported the protests to make you rise to power, now it’s your duty to provide them the desired outcomes.

On a concluding note, it would be right enough to say that, we as people are too quick to pass our judgement and point-out flaws in phenomenon happening around us. But if we support something with full eagerness and zeal, then the least we expect in return is the proper solution to our grievances and the existing situation to improve. Well, your journey has just begun and have a lot to prove and a lot of time at your disposal to do that. But I wish and seriously hope that you don’t have to bear the same torture and disrespect like the UP govt. Let's See What rolls out in the future.
