It is with deep regret
and chagrin that I write this piece to indicate my total disappointment over
the crisis AAP is undergoing now in Delhi.
When AAP came into existence we had great hope that it will spread its
wings not only in Delhi but also all over India to give clean and upright
administration as per the aspirations of the citizens of India. But within a short time the aspirations of
the people turned into nothing when its leadership failed to shoulder its
responsibility responsibly by resigning abruptly of course to the
disappointment of all the followers of AAP.
Still people stood by
AAP again and gave AAP a resounding victory in its last election to rule Delhi
with absolute majority. While APP
enjoyed absolute majority its followers in Goa danced on the streets with white
AAP “Topi” thinking that in Goa too we will have similar revolution because people
in Goa are totally dejected by the poor showing of BJP and all other political
outfits. Unfortunately, due to the
internal bickering in the AAP in Delhi among the party stalwarts, the high
expectations of the people have gone down.
In view of this, who else in India can save the people from the clutches
of corrupt and cruel politicians? I
think AAP was the last and the best hope for Indians to get uncorrupt and
upright people to rule India but that hope too vanished now. In view of this, on whom now Indians will
rely to get good people to rule in India?
In India, we have great
stalwarts but none to rule India appropriately.
Some are meant only to win the elections while others to be very good in
the oppositions but none to rule as per the aspirations of the people. Under the great leadership of Gandhian Jayprakash
Narain, Janata Party came into existence with high hopes to change India from
worst to the best but within a short period Morarjee Desai’s government
collapsed like a pack of cards thereby killing all the high hopes of Indians
for better days. This happened only
because of the selfish greed for power of a few Janata Party leaders.
Then came the political
force in India under the leadership of another Gandhian, Anna Hazare who
totally shook the Congress Party in India in general and in Delhi in
particular. As an offshoot of Anna’s
movement, AAP was born and captured power in Delhi not once but twice but both the
times failed the aspirations of the people not only of those who elected AAP to
power but also of those who were
expecting AAP will turn into a savior for millions of Indians who are the
victims of the maladministration of the current politicians.
It is a very sad story
of AAP happenings in Delhi now. It was never
expected from them to fight like this and thru this fight AAP leaders in Delhi
totally killed the high hopes people had in AAP. While the ugly events are taking place in
Delhi, the AAP stalwarts in Goa cannot remain as silent spectators, they must
raise their voice in unison loudly and openly too against what is happening in Delhi now, they
must air their concern over the events taking place in AAP at Delhi. AAP has to
be purified and if necessary in Gandhian style AAP stalwarts and
supporters in Goa must conduct a daylong fast
at Panaji to pray for AAP leaders in Delhi to bury their selfish ambitions and have a
peace among all its members. AAP by all means has to surive because it is the
last hope for Indians to get better leaders and better governance.
