THE MOMENTOUS
MOMENT
AAP (Aam Adami Party) has officially taken over the reins of
Delhi today the 28th 0f December 2013 at 12 noon. The oath of office
has been administered by the Lt. Governor Mr. Najeeb Jung to Mr. Arvind Kejriwal as Chief Minister
with six of his cabinet members. The euphoria is to be seen to believe. Over
90000 people thronged the Ramlila Ground in Delhi to watch the ceremony. Many
of them came from faraway places and towns.
It is the first time that a political outfit as old as just
one year has captured the imagination of the common people and defeated the age
old established political parties like BJP and Congress. Right now it is just a
manifestation of public aspirations likely to come true in days to come. This
is no time to doubt the intentions of the AAP leaders.
Tomorrow when a new sun arises in the east, people will be
gauging the performance of the leaders in physical terms. 30% of Delhi
electorate has voted for AAP and this 30% represent the people who are crying
for change and are convinced that AAP will bring it. Balance 70 % is either
hard core followers of BJP and Congress or other political parties or is not
very hopeful of any drastic change.
On a lighter mode, I am surprised Delhi and for that matter
the country have so many upright and honest people as will be seen by the
number of people present on the ground and elsewhere. Had it been so, how come
we lived with corruption for all these years?
