8 months ago when NaMo came to power media houses made it sound like God himself came down to create heaven on earth and today it is Kejriwal's turn. Yes, every dog has its day and these dogs are mere chew bones for media houses. Dear people, don't be fooled by media that turns zeros into heros and vice-versa.
Losing objectivity
Fair and square, many of these also politicians get carried away by their new friendships: victory, popularity and attention they receive from media and people. In parallel, power sets in new equations that result in infighting, corruption, and scandals. Parties must also introspect why their star candidates defect. Is it because of setting of wrong expectations, unmet promises or over ambitious cadre? All three parties have seen people moving around. As a result of internal turmoil, political parties and its cadres fail to focus on their objectives and in turn distanced from their voter base, who are left high and dry and made to feel stupid.
AAP victory, not Anti Incumbency
AAP's victory is definitely not anti-incumbency. People of Delhi had completely lost their hope on Congress and its leadership and how they've handled themselves in the last 8 months post Lok Sabha disaster. See how an all India party like Congress has turned itself irrelevant today and has been reduced to a minority party in the last 2 years.
A wake up call for NaMO
Even NaMo, the CM from Gujarat who has experienced victory three consecutive terms has forgotten what it takes to sustain one's success. A wave gets created only when you deliver and in the 9 months nothing much has been delivered other than a few hundred million bank accounts, a few foreign trips to US, Japan, etc. seeking investments and strengthening ties with our neighbors. In all, the common man hasn't seen much change except drop in petrol/diesel prices that is also due to external variables.
On the other side BJP has been all talk and and no walk. Activities (Ghar wapsi) and vitriolic speeches by Sangh has quickly eroded the faith people had on the blooming lotus.
Election manifesto - a joke
If people of Delhi had voted based on party manifesto then none of the parties would have made it to power. Lack of substance in their election manifesto expect a few tricks (free wifi) failed to appeal to youth and common man. But yet the insecurity created by RSS and the speeches sparking religious tensions and attacks on a Church in Delhi got on their nerves to vote in favor of AAP.
Mr. Amit Shah, stop manipulating people

Mr. Amit Shah, stop manipulating people
The middle class in Delhi may have connected with Ms. Bedi, a retired IPS officer, but the results today show how quickly one can lose earned goodwill through defection. Luring a candidate from the opposition party 3 weeks before the elections must have taught that the people of Delhi are not stupids.They may accept actors replacing actors on TV shows, but on the election ground. Amit Shah needs to stop manipulating people and their cadre if he wants to earn the good will of people.
RSS, the Indian Taliban
Another annoying factor is the rhetoric of RSS making virulent speeches that treat women like baby making machines and infuse unwanted religious tensions among various communities. Trying to make Hindi the official language for all Government communications, Ghar wapsi drama, enforcing Sanskrit and Yoga in Central Govt. schools has quickly made the ruling party look like India's Taliban. People are tired of being divided along the lines of caste, religion, language and culture and played up against each other for political gains.
Mr. Kejriwal should stay away from Ramlila Maidan
Sustainability of success lies in the delivery of one's promise. It is time Modi puts RSS, Swami, Amit Shah, etc. on mute and start delivering on his promises to enable him bring home bigger returns in Bihar. People of Delhi have given a second chance to AAP in a years time; something that never happens. So, it is time Kejriwal and gang forgets Ramlila Maidan, fasts, and learn from Modi's mistakes and quickly start delivering tangible results to keep Delhiites on their side. And for Mr. Modi and Shah, Bihar is not too far away from polls and remember, the rest of India is watching.
