AAP and the Mango man

A year back, he was called "a mango man in banana republic". Now, the mango man who literally came from zero,is today the Hero of Delhi - Arvind Kejriwal.

He has literally scared the hell out of both the parties to such an extent that the party leader whom he defeated in election wants to give outside support to him and the biggest party in the assembly don't want him to be in opposition benches.

BJP yesterday: AAP don't want responsibility. they don't want to form government
BJP today: This is betrayal. they can't form government with congress

Congress day before yesterday: AAP is a no-man's party. In fact,it is not a party at all

Congress yesterday: Unconditional outside support
Congress today: Outside Support but with conditions.

Given that AAP will form the government, both Congress and BJP are eagerly waiting for him to fail so that they can push AAP out of picture in next elections. Even if there is any small negative news on AAP, the congress will blow it out of proportion and topple the government.The government may be difficult to last for more than 1 year.


Whether they are mature enough to handle this phenomenal success and whether they can handle the provocations aimed at them in the assembly (unlike our hero Vijayakanth)  are important parameters which may be critical to their sustainability in politics.

If AAP gains people confidence in short time , then they can anytime dissolve the assembly and go for elections and gain majority. The key to their success lies in implementing the Jan Lokpal bill and the reduction in power tariff. The majority of the population will be impacted and impressed by such schemes and their popularity will soar.

They can't afford state elections with loksabha elections since they may be swept aside in modi vs rahul battle. 
The real battle for AAP begins now and whether they stamp their authority in this battle, only time will tell
