Real Challenges of AAP

1. One Man Show:
How will AAP get over it? its not what AAP would want to survive with

2. Sustainable system change to corruption:
Though AAP won capitalising on 49 days rule, fact is that corruptions came back immediately after the last AAP fell. Infact am not even confident of a Lokpal fixing corruption, it would also work only until AAP is in rule. The real solution is having a collective social conscience which works consistently to repel corruption from society. Am not aware of a lokpal that keeps corruption low at US. In my view, its not Lokpal but the AAP, the real solution that should expand. So how will AAP convince the hardcore supporters of other parties who are worried about the loyalty than about real issues of the day?

3. Money
AAP could manage only 50% of their target 30cr this election, where and how will they get money from to expand to other states?

With the amount of creativity, intelligence and eagerness to learn, am hopeful of AAP leading the show

And so the day has finally come.....

And so the day has finally come.....

The pictures below reminds me of Shankar's Mudhalvan (Tamil Movie)...infact a very specific scene where the hero Arjun talks with a differently-abled person!

This is already overdue for Shankar reflected the real mood of public in 1999 and politicians kept eluding from the inevitable future! If not for an Arvind Kejriwal some other common man would have done it anyways. And yes there were others who tried but unsuccessful, so lets give AK the due credit for what he had done.

In Shekar Kapur's words 'first they beg, then they knock and then they break open!" (not verbatim)

So what next?

Does it make me a proud AAP supporter now? Yes but i have to say its still is temporary. I am not talking about not getting the majority since even the media conceded that its already a victory for AAP without even getting to 36. Am talking about the transformation of electoral results to clean governance as someone had already put it. Thats what will make me a real proud AAP supporter.
Am glad and thankful to my friends who donated for AAP, am also thankful to another friend who sat along with me today watching the results turning out, he wasnt aware of AAP till yesterday though aware of Anna and the movement. He is sad that I dint let him know earlier for he could  have donated and felt proud of his involvement today. That is exactly what am hoping and wishing to happen everywhere. It is now, at the least now that every one should wake up to the possibility of saving oneself!  Intentionally or not, most of them are not aware much of the reality of their daily life beyond their family. They are not aware that much of their suffering could be resolved by fixing their govt or otherwise they are not aware or believe that they can fix their govt. When in every single interview Kejriwal repeated the party's manifesto and vision, I got bored and irritated for him repeating the same again and again. But the fact is, there were ppl out there asking for him to do that exactly. They were probably listening him for the first time.
It is not just the honesty, hardwork and donation that did this time, for we know and do talk about so many failed attempts of the past like lok paritran. In my view, it is also the un-parallel intelligence that joined along the race to help the honest this time. No one can forget that there were all kinds of allegations and attacks. I personally wanted AAP to face them, respond them and come out clean. I also warn them to be ready to face even more un imaginable attacks and allegations, for the opponent will also use his own intelligence with power and the victory includes responding successfully all such things.
Now, am not worried about ppl supporting some party even if its not AAP for at least they have a stand now with some reasoning data and awareness and when things unfold in the future they will make their move accordingly. All my worry is about those citizens who are watching this movie without a reaction!. Yes it is those citizens showing any or all kinds of indifference to all the political actions and  more the election results today. If this particular result couldnt get them to move an inch, i just couldnt imagine of anything else that can save them. I pray for them!
I hope and believe atleast those set of ppl who watched everything skeptically holding themselves from supporting in any form will move some inches to do something.
I have to admit my regret for having stopped myself at just donation and fb posts.  I believe my fb posts would have irritated many for so many reasons, but am glad i did what i did. In fact, I did not make it to the rally for AAP today in pune for which i got the personal call from an AAP guy.  Knowing what should be my next step, am myself still falling short as well. I guess I will move there hopefully in the future when its time! Until then i have the right only to ask everyone to stand at the least where i stand today, I mean, Be aware and be supportive in some form! It is not about the country, it is about You!

Why did I donate to AAP?

In 2011 I wrote about how i was impressed with the lokpal movement.  I was so enthused on the lokpal movement as an alternate to a political party in getting to where we wanted, but it was the politics that won. Though according to me the movement completely failed in reaching its goal, it anyways helped in the creation of this new political party by Kejriwal. Initially i was not completely comfortable in accepting the political form, but i do not have an alternate to argue either. I also still believe either Arvind or the Lokpal movement did not communicate enough on what their plan B was if Lokpal bill did not get through in the parliament then. They went for the kill and Arvind just jumped to political option abruptly as the politics tricked them. It wasnt a smooth transition. In one way it is also good that he parted ways with un-like minded people though with right intentions. I am gonna wait and watch what they do...will be extremely happy and proud if they get some victory and fulfill their promises, ofcourse.
AAP has a Vision, Constitution and Agenda. With all my limited intelligence collected across sources and that enhanced by own intuition, I am consciously convinced that this party will deliver honestly, win or lose.
Finally, even if i lose, i mean if either AAP doesnt win or win but not fulfill the promises, i would digest the donation as an affordable loss, frankly am not donating a money beyond my affordability. Am only donating as much as i could digest to fail and am just betting on AAP!
