A new child of Anti Establishment movement!!!

National Freedom Movement gave birth to Indian National Congress, Communist movement and Socialist movements led to creation of CPI, Anti Emergency movement/ JP movement created Janta Party/Janta Dal/SP/BJP. Another party which owes its origin to anti establishment movement has come to the fore in Indian polity. This time seeds were sown in ANNA movement/Anti Corruption movement and AAP emerged as a well grown TREE.
A new left is taking shape in Indian politics! Means are different and even the nature of politics is different! This new left does not represent industrial workers nor does it represent agricultural laborers. In fact, it is a sum total of resentment of urban- working-migrant-lower middle classes who have migrated to the National Capital in search of Roji-Roti; and are much more affected by BIJLI-SADAK-PANI-MAHNGAI issues. This group include Vegetable vendors, Rehdiwalas, Rickshawpullers, slumdwellers, People working in Road side eatories, Maids, Servants. For these people National Interest, Foreign Policy, Economic Policy are of least value. For them survival in the big urban centers is major issue. What they expect from Government is the efficient delivery of these basic services!!! And here is reason behind two different outcomes- One majority for BJP in (For taking care of national interest etc.); and second ABSOLUTE MAJORITY for AAP in Delhi elections ( for delivery of basic public services etc). Janta-Janardan is very intelligent. They know who can perform which duty better. That is why just before General elections there was a trend among Delhi people- Modi for Centre and Kejri for Delhi.
I am a traditional supporter of BJP. But i am really overwhelmed by the twist and turns of matured Indian Democracy. Verdict makes it imperative for BJP leadership to introspect its performance whether it was ARROGANCE of some leaders in the party, IGNORANCE of ground level workers and Senior party leaders, NEGATIVE campaign against opposition, OVERCONFIDENCE of winning streak, PARATROOPING of outsiders etc. Why Delhi public was not so confident that BJP can efficiently run Delhi Government and provide basic services! This must be a question of debate and discussion in the party meetings! Another question of concern which must also be raised that why your own committed voters and workers voted against you!
