AAP KA SANDESH

AAP-rise*
This refers to the article
“Scaling up the AAP”(December 14/15). The message sent out by AAP from Delhi is
being deciphered by different people in different ways. Naturally, the responses
have been diverse. From Rahul Gandhi who said ‘Congress has to learn a lot from
AAP’, to N R Narayana Murthy who said ‘What Arvind(Kejriwal) has done is that
he has redefined what is possible’ and added that he would still ‘Bat for
Nilekani’ the politically and financially wise who responded to the AAP
challenge did not leave the aam aadmi wiser by their responses. But their quick
comments are, nevertheless, indicative of the churning Indian Political System
is undergoing, post-AAP uprise.
The Indian Aam Aadmi has asserted
his right to make his voice heard, thanks to the conduit provided by AAP. Let
us not compel AAP to show the results they apparently promised. Now, it is the
turn of the common man(Famously referred to as “WE THE PEOPLE” in the preamble
of the Constitution of India) to organise, wherever they are, and force the
legislators at all levels to uphold the spirit of the Constitution and bring
back ethics and morality to governance.
If aam aadmi and the
BPL(Businessmen-Politician-Lawyers) Combine which is managing the show in Delhi
take the message sent out by AAP through the medium of broomstick seriously,
and act in a proactive manner, during the short period left for Elections,
2014, several stages of pre-stabilization experiments of India Growth Story can
be skipped. Here, all political parties(Right, Left and Centre) have a
responsibility to participate. Time is running out.
