People of Delhi have " Great Expectations "
from AAP government
And people of India will be watching how well AAP
delivers on those expectations before 2014 general elections
Will AAP manage to deliver on its promises ?
Here is when great expectations turn into "
Unreasonable Expectations " !
TV anchors are asking this question to every single AAP
leader - all the time
And , they are also asking this question to sundry BJP
/ Congress leaders as well
Asking persons who are taking vicarious pleasure in predicting
that AAP will fail miserably
Other than a random AAP leader ( notably , Arvind
Kejriwal himself ), no one is saying ,
" Of
course , AAP will fail to deliver on some of those promises - especially
those
promises which require a YES nod from Central Government
Of course ,
AAP may have made some miscalculations
Of course ,
AAP has no experience in running a government
Of course ,
AAP will make some mistakes
Of course ,
AAP has no solutions to ALL the problems of Delhi
So what ?
In 2009 ,
didn't Congress promise to ,
> abolish poverty ( as it has been promising
for past 66 years ) ?
> bring inflation under control within 100 days
of coming to power ?
- and then repeating that promise , every 100
days ?
- and even forcing Planning Commission and the
RBI governor to say
the same
thing at every quarterly review ? "
Obviously , the vanquished are in a tearing hurry to
write an epitaph on AAP's tombstone !
I am reminded of the vultures circling in the sky when
they see an animal dying on the ground !
Are you surprised that the political vultures are
waiting for AAP government to die / fail
?
Are TV anchors allowing these vultures to use their
powerful media to bring about , a " Self - fulfilling Prophesy " ?
Have we become an ant crawling on a M F Hussein
painting , which cannot step back and see it in perspective , in all its glory ?
On midnight of 15th August 1947 , I walked with the
crowds of people ( all of them Aam Aadmi ) , from Shivaji Park to Gateway of
India , in Mumbai
It took me 12 hours to walk that distance
But I was lucky to have witnessed history in the making
And now , after a lapse of 66 years , I am lucky once
again , to be witnessing , another glorious moment of history !
Let us celebrate the arrival of our second freedom -
the Surajya
Let us celebrate the beginning of the end of Cancer of
Corruption
Let us celebrate the re-birth of the Common Man - the Aam
Aadmi
