Why AAP lost deposit in Delhi – a sacred message to non BJP politicians in India

The humiliating defeat of AAP candidate in Delhi by poll sends a clear warning message also to all non BJP politicians in India. The supreme leader of AAP Mr. Arvind Kejriwal should learn the message if he really wishes to survive in Indian politics only then he can dream of becoming Prime Minister of India one day.

The public perception is that Mr. Kejriwal has nothing else to offer to people who have voted him other than making allegations about BJP leaders, central Government and defame Modiji by attacking him personally. Fortunately Mr. Kejiriwal has not yet blamed Modiji for his problem of wheezing, constipation and loose motion if any he suffers, some say. Mr. Kejriwal has touched new low in Indian politics by breaching all values and ethics. according to many.

People of India, especially the youths love and respect Modiji for his sincere commitment for the nation. Barring a few irresponsible statements of some BJP law makers, the Government of Modiji has indeed done a lot to develop the nation and curb corruption. Modiji is not a magician nor does he have any magic stick to transform India overnight which was ruined systematically by most of the previous regimes over 60 years. In governance, Modiji has brought all possible reforms, digitalization, accountability and transparency. Every Indian also must feel and think like Modiji in making new India otherwise everyone of us would become nothing but another Kejriwal. It is not Modiji alone is responsible to transform India, such responsibility lies with every Indian.

The opposition parties blame BJP and Modiji may be because both BJP and Modiji remain invincible to them as on date. Instead of opposing without any meaning and merit, these parties must introspect why both BJP and Modiji grow from strength to strength and how they could command the wholehearted respect of people across all social strata? The reason is quite simple. For the first time, people of India are hearing development, nation building, economic equality, sab ka sath, sab ka vikas etc. So long people have been hearing nothing but minority appeasement, money power, pseudo secular agenda etc.

Unfortunately large section of opposition parties have not learned their lesson but still they engage in magnifying some rare unfortunate communal tensions in some parts of India to defame Modiji.

Mr. Kejriwal has touched new low by raising the educational qualification of Modiji which is highly irrelevant to our nation. Today people of India see Modiji purely through his passion, commitment, vision, exemplary leadership quality and walk the talk character and not through what degree he holds, whether he has graduated from Harvard or Cambridge. Indeed he is the most hardworking Prime Minister ever India had in the recent time. Modiji choose not to waste his energy or effort in replying to all those petty allegations of petty politicians and instead he is focusing on how to make new India where corruption and nepotism are zero.

In two years time, AAP has lost deposit in Delhi where it had won about 90% seats in last election. People of Delhi are sick and tired of AAP as it has nothing to offer to the union territory.

Congress was rejected by people of India purely because of huge corruption charges. Congress has never seen as a characterless political force like AAP by many. The defeat of AAP in the by poll must be seen in right perspective i.e., Indian electorates have learned also to punish ruthlessly the political parties even those they once believed and followed. People in extreme south also feel happy to see the humiliating defeat of AAP. Everyone wants India to be free from corruption but no one believes that Kejriwal is the answer.

AAP was perceived to be the crusader against corruption. Therefore the expectation of people from AAP was extraordinary. But AAP was after power than meeting or fulfilling the expectations of people who voted them to power.

Mr. Kejiriwal wants to become Prime Minister of India overnight than discharge his duties as CM of Delhi. Further he chose an easy option to catch the attention of public by raking up all unwanted and unnecessary issues to defame the leaders whom people respect and revere. If Mr. Kejriwal had come up with new meaningful suggestions to improve the governance and life of people, he would have been respected than rejected by people.

All the opposition parties must study the defeat of AAP in Delhi to understand whether they also trying to become another Kejiriwal in Indian politics? If they become another Kejriwal, will they be accepted or rejected by people?

Modiji is loved by youth, poor and aged. Therefore oppose him in a meaningful way and do not stoop down in your narratives.

Electorates of India are maturing therefore the Indian politicians also need to grow and mature even if some may not want to, only then they can survive.

The left party also must change their game plan. Stop supporting congress and maintain equal distance from BJP and congress and re-discover your roots. Recognize the changing India, to gain confidence of people, go back to your constituency with your core philosophy certainly you may find some supporters for you.
