The Litmus Test Staring At Modi!

Actually, Kerjriwal has learnt a lot from the campaign of Modi.  This is like chess game. Now others have seen the game that Modi plays. They have also learnt the way elections are fought. Kenjriwal is good disciple of Modi and mastered the tricks. The pupil defeated the teacher.

Possible. People defeating the teacher is not very uncommon. But i would like to wait until the d- day.

 Yes. The exit poll is mere indication and only actual counting will give accurate results. But it is obvious that Kejriwal has contested well and successfully managed the Modi wave. The actual Hindi proverb is- Guru rah gaye gur, aur chele ho gaya shakkar.  It is noticeable that mere name of Modi inspired in different states. Kejri well reminded people that Modi is P.M. and he will not be C.M.  So he contrasted himself with like BJP C.M. candidates like Mukhi.  Being cornered, ultimately, BJP had to filed Kiran Bedi- ex colleague of Kejriwal in anti corruption movement of Anna.  Kejriwal confidently claimed that Kiran Bedi had been roped in just to make her a scapegoat for sure defeat of BJP.  It is worthwhile to comment that Congress and BJP both have been ruling Delhi so far by turns. The BJP still is running muncipal corporation with which people are dissatisfied.  I got a message from one of my friends that he and others in his family and surrounding voted for AAP whereas they had been traditionally voting for BJP so far.

Yes. that's what I said that exit polls will not always be cent percent true. A variation is bound to be there. Anyhow the D-Day is not far away.

 

 

Even BJP is very cautious in projecting a sure win for themselves so, it almost seems as if AAP may have an advantage afterall...For Modi and BJP a lesson to learn that they cannot take people for granted,Every word and action counts ...

I wonder why the head masters did not learn from the teacher, that apart it's the free electricity and water that will win the game. People in this country want everything for free. 

Once Mulayam said he will abolish sales tax if he came to power, he won and changed the name to trade tax

there is no sales tax for you :)

 

 

The initial trends confirm exit polls predictions.The beauty of democracy in its absolute splendor! Here is bizarre case when people must be more happy with the rebuff that electorate of Delhi are giving to BJP under Modi than a victory of AAP. Good governance is diametrically opposite to promoting majoritan hallucinations. A brake was indeeded to stop a rash driver! Time to pull up your socks Mr. PM. Get down to brass tacks by getting the monkeys off your back!

One can see the mistakes BJP made and I sincerely hope that they go into a deep and honest self analysis and try to correct the negative points...Losing Delhi is not everything although Congress may make it seem inspite of them going ducks !!!!

The exit polls gone absolutely wrong, it's worse than what I ever imagined in my wildest of dreams.

@Usha What is going on is not selective killing but mass slaughter of established parties. I continue to have reservations about AAP's brand of politics ,its Utopian goals almost bordering on deception.A leader who is not familiar with rudiments of economics and who can not comprehend the basic fact of life that nothing comes free in life,would be able to come even remotely close to deliver on his promises. 

The point of interest is the ramfication of this severe electoral drubbing on BJP and popular perception of Modi as its undisputed leader,his dictatorial ways ,his incipient narcissism, seeking loyalty over competence. With all his hyperbole on good goverance there is very little evidence of any tectonic shift except for a clutch of slogans. Congress leaders are not far off the mark when they claim that this government has been pursuing their policies without giving credit!!!

Now Delhi will get free electricity, water and WiFi, lucky Delhiwalas, I am planning to cross over to Delhi. It's only 30 kms from my place :)

Kejriwal has been clever enough not to oppose Modi directly. He said a number of times that people want Modi at center and Kejriwal in Delhi. Ironicaslly, people also obliged Modi by fully reciprocating his appeal that Delhi needs a govt. with full majority. Of course, Delhi got a government with full majority. 

Unlike earlier days, Kejriwal changed his strategy. This paid him.

I think this unprecedented landslide victory of a fledgling party underscores a significant truth that popular discontent and disillusionment with mainstream parties are back again. The political space ceded by Congress and others was for grabs by AAP and which it gleefully has with fantastic promises. What is striking is that its candidates romped home with impressive victories from constituencies with predominant upwardly mobile city-slickers which by implications mean that typical aam aadmis were not the only ones to have come under the influence of Kejriwal's hypnosis.

If AAP and Kejriwal give even reasonably good governance they will be wholly accepted by other states in the coming elections - this is also a reflection as to how low our political system has sunk. Any hope from any direction is welcomed with open arms even someone like Kejriwal who has shown an irresponsible attitude right from the beginning ..Now it is time to wait and watch how the drama unfolds !

@Usha It is true that Indian politics won't be the same with this historic development. It represents a paradigm shift. How AAP performs in the coming days would be a matter of interest for the entire world. The established political parties have a lot to be apprehensive about.

It is a much needed welcome development that will keep all political parties on their toes and not become too sure of themselves..

 

@Usha I am of the firm view that those who voted for Kejriwal or AAP are just fools. They must have been aware of the unrealistic goals that his party has embarked upon itself but what swayed them finally was the maverick agenda of Kejriwal which could be interpreted as the agenda of all Indians especially ones who feel terribly betrayed and hoodwinked by leaders of all conventional political parties. This collective wrath was struggling to find an expression and Kejriwal might have provided the apt idiom for such an expression and his emergence has to be seen in this context. Free power or water is just a distraction preventing us from taking a good at the issue at hand.

Please read the first sentence as "are not just fools".
