Confused Delhi

Started as a wave, roared as a high tide and now struggling like surf on the shores. This is what the political journey of AAP have been like. A volcano of hopes was suddenly burst in the hearts of common man, when the formation of Aam Aadmi Party took place. A party for Aam Aadmi, made by Aam Aadmi and to be governed by Aam Aadmi.

AAP was formed to provide a political option upon which indians could rely and create a strong third political front. It started with the main part of the country i.e. Delhi. In Delhi assembly elections, people chose this new political option whole heartedly and a fresh face with no political background became Delhi's CM. This historical change delivered a positive message to the whole country's population that changing the country's system is in thier own hands & its still not too late to do it. It seemed like the much awaited & much desired change in India was not too far. It was looking like the start of a "Golden Era" which would turn India into what we dreamt for. The corruption free, progressive & peaceful India.

But before the celebrations could be completed the "Golden" started fading and "Era" came to an end. The 49th day of this party came too soon and Mr Arvind Kejriwal's designation got shifted from CM to Ex-CM of Delhi. The sudden resignation of Mr Kejriwal caused the doubt of delhi public upon its own choice. This resignation became the turning point for the party & the biggest mistake of Mr Kejriwal. The impact of this mistake was seen in Lok Sabha Elections.

It may be recorded as one of the "Fast Grown" and even "Faster Dissolving" Party. The current scenario of this party is like a sinking ship which is struggling to survive until it reaches the shore. The list of resignations is enlarging and the supporters are now confused to get called as "Aam Aadmi" or as Common Man.

Furthermore, there has become a vicious cycle of political games and unexpectedly AAP is a part of it. AAP is now pointing out BJP's governance mistakes, BJP is blaming Congress for its past heinous acts and Congress is denying its external support to AAP to form Delhi Govt. This third front chosen by Delhites, has made the situation even worse. Earlier, people could easily blame the corrupts & corruption but now even the uncorrupted have failed to govern.

The time for Delhi's fresh assembly elections is approaching. Now Delhi has three major options. First is Congress, whome Delhi has shown its affection in last assembly as well as recent lok sabha elections. Second is BJP, who promised for Acche Din but now turned into Acche Din Bijli Bin for Delhi. Third is AAP, whose story everyone knows and somehow regrets. Finally, Delhi is in a confusion that if they can have any better choice among these three parties or the time is calling for a fourth front ??
