Will you vote for AAP in Delhi Assembly elections?

[kapdal]

Let's assume you have a vote in Delhi and you will definitely exercise it. In Delhi, there are usually only 2 choices: Congress or BJP. Now there is Kejriwal's AAP as well. The people who cheered Anna and Kejriwal in their anti-corruption movement are very similar in profile to the people on this forum. So when it comes to vote, will you vote for AAP in the next Delhi Assembly elections? Technically you have the choice, even if you are a diehard Modi/Rahul Gandhi fan.

There is a great article by the usually brilliant Manu Joseph. One line stood out for me: “Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party will debut in electoral politics this November and contest all 70 seats in the Delhi assembly elections. On trial will be the people of Delhi themselves, and a beloved Indian hypothesis that they deserve better than rotten politicians.”

AAP is no different. Arvind is smart enough to gauge people interest by using popularist tactics. So far whatever he has proposed is a leftish ideology. If implemented, it will prove worse than even current mess. Country has already struggled enough to break free from Nehru's socialist model. Kezriwal is proposing same. India needs a business friendly atmosphere not the centralised, suffocating licence raj. Arvind wants to take us back to pre-liberalised era.

Atish, I have my differences with Kejriwal including his economics, but do we really think Congress/BJP offer much better economic plans? As of now, the composition of AAP, the way they have gone about their politics at grassroots, etc is very different from other parties. There are some very credible people like Kejriwal and Yogendra Yadav involved. It is entirely possible they fail. But surely they deserve a chance, if for nothing else, then having the guts to name the corrupt deeds of the high and the mighty. I think such a voice is needed whether it is left, right or center. And it is not like you'd have to discard some really great candidates to vote for them

Yes to break Congress/BJP monopoly, AAP success is good. I sometimes feel that some elements within and BJP and Congress help each other. AAP might give this nexus a break. It may bring more competition in politics. But at the same time, due to AAP popularist tactics, BJP and Congress would hesitate to reform the bureaucracy. Its like how telecom sector has been screwed up offlate.

As far as I know AAP ideology they have only one goal -----Corruption Free India , which is not possible in one 5 years of term . It is a continuous process . If you ever talk to any AAP member about their plans of ending Corruption " Lokpal " uski implementation - loop holes they have no clue about anything . I have not heard anything related to their any plans of Economic Growth . Their speeches or so do indicate socialist approach in which they talk about Ambani wealth n all . Their every speech or movement is full of cribbing . Last movement of "electricity " seems an attention seeker movement ( check FB u would get all , uska result I do not know jinke ghar ke bijli ki taar kati thi unki bijli wapis aayee hai bhi ya nahi )

There was a noble movement - Kiran + Kejriwal + Anna ji lead that movement , but uska hua kya - ZERO result . Bat shurru woh karo jo khatam karne ka dam ho .

They are working hard I would not be surprised if they get some seats in Delhi which would give them chance to prove themselves , let them , I guess like any other party or politician let them struggle first .

One more thing - Stage par khada hokar toh koi bhi gyan de dega , asli rang Satta mei aane par pata chalega ( I m so damn sure if they get any seats they would be supporting either Congress / BJP ) so whats the point pehle hi Congress / BJP ko vote de lo .

There were times when "a change" was the last thing an Indian wanted. It was like a prisoner having spend much of his life, cribbing in a jail, hesitating; on getting a sudden chance of moving out.

However, new generation is much more vibrant, experimental and is more connected to the changing world. Delhi being at the forefront of this change, had demonstrated its mood for the change. I won't be surprised if AAP gets a major share of votes.

Yes their Lokpal is a half-baked idea. If implemented as it is, it would prove a disaster. And in a democracy like India, If all people start pushing their own agenda nothing will work. He and others were full on to pressurise government to just consider their bill only. Union government did right thing to seek everyone's suggestion and not just pushing their agenda only.

If we do not follow our own established systems then nothing will work.

Kejariwal is working for congress to attract anti congress votes, what corruption free India, he himself was and is totally black in corruption colour, Also congress and BJP leaders are equally corrupt, public is suffering and will suffer in future also

 

[prikshit]

I am dubious if he do any good to Delhities, why I said this is because he will clinch middle class or educated people's votes. Which will harm BJP only, as a result chances are there that Congress will again form a govt.
Most of the candidates in AAP are those who didn't get seats from either Congres or BJP.
AAP or BJP is ok to me, but god pls save delhi from Congress

में अन्ना और केजरीवाल का भ्र्स्थाचार के मुददे पर समर्थक रहा हूँ । परन्तु केजरीवाल केवल एक मुद्दा उठा कर राजनीति नहीं कर सकते । जहाँ तक राजनीती की बात हे केजरीवाल को नहीं आती । वो राजनेतिक रूप से फेल हो जाएगा । ये आशंका मेने पहले भी जाहिर की थी । लेकिन वो एक अछा सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता हे । दील्ली में एक परयोग के तौर पर उनको मत दिया जा सकता हे । ताकि वो कुछ राजनीती सीख सके । पर रास्ट्रीय स्तर पर वो अपरिपक्व हे ।

 

[swaich]

If I had my vote in Delhi I would have definitely voted for Kejriwal.

 

[vpannu]

बोट बाट ते मेरी से नहीं भारत में . पर नुवे जिद्द लाऊ हूँ. केजरीवाल हिसार ते खड़ा होता तो जरूर हंगा लाता इसकी सीट पक्की करण में | कारण :
1. हिसार का से |
2. मेरे स्कूल का passout से .
3. IAS सेलेक्ट हो राख्य से, ग्यानी ध्यानी मानस से.
4. भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ है


दूसरा विकल्प ओम परकाश चौटाला ने , जो की फिलहाल जेल में कैद से .
कारण :
1. जाट से .
2. जितने जाट इसने नोकरी लवाए कोए माई का लाल लगा के दिखा दियो , बेशक २ नंबर में लगाये हों.
3. क़ानून की इज्जत करी से जेल में जा के , न तो के लालू परसाद यादव ने थोड़ी सान्नी खा राखी से ?
4. किसे का गुलाम नहीं, बुल शिट हूडा जुकर , जो अपने फैसले किसी और ते पूछ के लेता हो .

 

[spdeshwal]

I was always convinced about the honesty and motives of Arvind and his core team!
Going with the popular belief, AAP may not be in a position to win the election and form the Government of their own at this stage but my sympathy would remain with Arvind and his party! His Economic Model may be considered outdated but what we have achieved with the economics of Manmohan; magnitude of corruption, black money, widening gap between rich and poor etc. So what economic model is best suited for our country is open for debate!

Although I haven't got voting right in Delhi but my moral support would be with him and his party! Also, I would like to advise my relatives in Delhi to support AAP!


Cheers!

So is Hooda, infact most of current ministers

2. जितने जाट इसने नोकरी लवाए कोए माई का लाल लगा के दिखा दियो , बेशक २ नंबर में लगाये हों.

lol. Have nothing to say, your post in itself is a joke of his achievements. Bechare unte bujhiye jinki zameen bik gi ar naukri bhi na mili.

3. क़ानून की इज्जत करी से जेल में जा के , न तो के लालू परसाद यादव ने थोड़ी सान्नी खा राखी से ?

You seriously think so? If he had an escape would not he be out? Ha, I pity if you think that he sacrificed himself/

4. किसे का गुलाम नहीं, बुल शिट हूडा जुकर , जो अपने फैसले किसी और ते पूछ के लेता हो .

It seems everyone in Congress got to take a dump after asking Sonia Gandhi, you amuse me when you say this.

I very much agree word by word here with Bhai sab here, for a good change

This is a virtual poll. Please vote whether you have vote in Delhi or not. Should give some vague idea about his "electability". The biggest issue people cite is that he can't be elected. I don't think it is as hopeless. He has emotional support. His biggest challenge is to overturn this sentiment that you are wasting your vote since he can't be elected.

 

[vicky84]

Congress aur BJP Rajniti ke maanghe hue khiladi hain. Inki jaade bahut gehri hain. Time lagega Kezriwal ko Delhi mei pakad banane ke liye.

Aur bhai kitne bhi bade virodhi ho par chor chor hote mausere bhai hi hai, police se dono darte hai aur ek sath ho kar ladte hai

It's my opinion I know yours is going to differ so you can pity, amuse or do whatever you feel like.

 

[desijat]

And I safely presume that you ignore this high moral stand on most of your replies when you force your biased opinion on others opinions without respecting them?
