This refers to the article “Can
Kejriwal’s team deliver the moon to Dehiites?”(December 23). The honest and
direct answer is ‘No, not possible in the given situation’. Then, why AAP
should form a government in Delhi? Because, with 30 per cent votes polled, if
30 per cent promises in the Manifesto are fulfilled, still the entire Delhi
population will be better off than during the previous regimes. Changes do not
come that fast. If AAP has succeeded in making the outgoing CM to demand
implementation of AAP Manifesto and promises support for efforts in that direction,
one feels, AAP has won half the battle.
Coming to details, Congress, of
all political parties has lost its moral right to question delays in honouring
commitments as the last 65 years did not see India through enforcement of
important Directive Principles of State Policy enshrined in the Constitution.
It would be a useful and interesting document, if the authors of this article
go back to the Congress/UPA Manifestos from the first General Election to the
last one and prepare a chart recording promises kept and ‘action in progress’.
