I was not
surprised by AAP results, because none of the pre-poll surveys and exit polls
that I knew were giving them double digit seats. I never believed that
they will win any sizeable number of seats. Their job was to undercut Congress
votes; and in my understanding, at some places, they did it splendidly.
We must
remember, Jana Sangh formed in mid 50s and its avatar BJP took almost 60 years to reach this
stage. AAP will have to build up their
organization painstakingly, persist with their efforts tenaciously, and
replace the feudal and corrupt ways of Congress. They are nice people
and deserve a chance, if not immediately at least in future. Their
anti-corruption crusade and opposition to VIP culture is quite necessary
today.
