Today's Guru-Mantra seems to be ,
" Let us
learn from AAP - and
in a hurry , too ! "
> Rahul
Gandhi says,
" We have to learn from AAP , how to connect
with the ordinary people "
He is even
changing the Lok Sabha candidate selection criteria to ensure that only honest
, non-corrupt , non-criminal and youthful candidates get chosen - and
transparently
> Jairam
Ramesh says ,
" Had we introduced Lokpal Bill 2 years back ,
AAP would not have come
into
existence "
Soniaji / Rahulji / Man
Mohanji are in agreement
They are asking Jairam to resign his ministerial post
and ensure that history does not repeat itself in April / May 2014 , by
implementing what AAP did , viz: connecting with grass-root congress workers
> Mohan Bhagwat
( RSS ) is telling Rajnathji ,
" Wake up from the euphoria of having won in 3
states . Look back over
your
shoulder . AAP is gaining ground . Ensure selection of honest
candidates
having clean image "
> Man Mohan
Singhji admits ,
" Somewhere along the line , we failed in our
understanding of what
common men
( Aam Aadmi ) want
We could
not contain inflation and corruption
We must
learn a lesson from our defeat at the hands of AAP "
> Aslam Sher
Khan ( Congress ) says ,
" The way things are going , it seems , the
party has not learnt any
lessons
from the recent defeat "
> Pankaj
Chaturvedi ( MP Congress spokesman ) says ,
" We have to learn lessons from AAP -
especially in simplicity "
>
Chhatisgarh CM , Raman Singh told party MLAs ,
" We must live with simplicity , as Aam Aadmi
was influenced and
impressed
by it "
> Sanjay
Nirupam ( Congress MLA ) says,
" If AAP can reduce electric bills in Delhi
within a week of coming to
power , why
can't Congress government in Maharashtra do it
after 5
years ? "
> Digvijay
Singhji told Congress party co-ordination committee ,
" Those who sit in their homes and hurl abuses
on political parties ,
and their
leaders , should learn from Kejriwal to form a political party
( first )
and ( then ) make whatever laws they want to "
> Mani
Shankar Aiyar says ,
" I hope and pray that the AAP stops the BJP
and Modi
The Hitler
( Modi ) must be stopped from coming to power
The
Congress would welcome any assistance from AAP in this regard "
> Amartya
Sen ( Economist ) says ,
" It is wonderful that they have succeeded in mobilizing
people
One has
to congratulate them on their success
AAP
should have laid more emphasis on areas like education
and
health in their election campaign "
> Shivanand
Tiwari ( JDU ) says ,
"
Personally I feel , the AAP as a phenomenon has got people
excited
. People have responded favourably to a
third alternative
which is
a good thing . They should be given time , before any rash
judgment
is passed on them "
> Basudev Acharia ( CPI
- M ) says ,
" Yes , there is a lot of
similarity between AAP and our party
"
> K
Narayana ( CPI State Secretary - AP )
says ,
" AAP has proved in Delhi that the BJP and the
Congress were not
alternatives
anymore and their end is near "
> Shatrughan
Sinha ( BJP MP ) says ,
" Other parties should learn from AAP's rise
from the grassroots
Honesty and
transparency must go together but that rarely happens "
> Naresh
Agarwal ( SP ) says ,
" We have decided to watch AAP for a period of
six months before we
decide on
things like an alliance with them "
>
Bhartruhari Mahtab ( BJD ) says ,
" I expect AAP to deliver on the promises that
were made before polls "
> Dara
Singh (
BSP ) says ,
" We want to watch what the AAP does for a few
months before deciding
on
anything "
> Ravi
Shankar Prasad ( BJP ) says ,
" AAP has put up a good performance in Delhi
but had it not been in the
fray , BJP
would have done better "
> Rajiv
Pratap Rudy ( BJP ) says ,
" Regional manifesto is setting the National
Agenda .
This is
what happened in Delhi
A great
churn is taking place "
> Prakash
Karat ( CPM ) says ,
" The interesting point about the AAP has been
that they have been able
attract
the middle classes to politics in a metropolitan city like Delhi
It hasn't
happened before and is a novel phenomenon
AAP did
what CPM wanted to do "
The list goes on and on
Apparently , leaders of political parties are vying
with each other to climb onto the AAP bandwagon
!
But the bandwagon is rolling - and how !
4 LAKH members
in a single day , yesterday !
Target of 100 LAKH
members in 10 days ! That may be just a beginning !
Poor , oppressed , tormented , tortured , looted ,
raped , hungry and starving , are all marching towards AAP offices , - and web
site - from all over India !
There is no stopping them !
The only option for 1400 + , LOCAL REGIONAL POLITICAL
PARTIES , is to merge with AAP
I URGE THEM TO
MERGE WITH AAP TO DECIMATE THE DEMONS OF PAST !
It is time to STOP
THINKING LOCAL
GO NATIONAL /
GO AS ONE !
Or else , get consigned to the dust-bin of History !
