For years while growing up, I always discussed this when the subject of politics was brought about as to why could not politicians be down to earth and focus on issues that matter the most to us all. Matters such as continuous electricity, clean water, good roads, better government hospitals and schools and much much more.
While watching Arwind Kejriwal deliver his speech in the Delhi Assembly before the all important vote made me feel that suddenly there is a possibility of this nation changing after all.
For long, many elders dejected with politics in this country told me that nothing happens in India and nobody can change the way politics is played over here. The best option would be to leave the country and settle abroad where at least things are way better and cleaner.
I had nothing to hold on to while always arguing that India can change and will change. Listening to AK speaking that day, I personally felt happy that the change is here. I believe we need to give AK's AAP some time and not pounce on them every other day when things do not move forward. After all, they have to clean and fight the rut that has set in for more than 6 decades. Not an easy job at all for anybody.
So, lets give them time to settle in, take stock of the situation, get a good feel of things, understand up close and personal where the system is failing and more. I would say with the way they have begun all guns blazing, it will not take them more than 3 months max to get the show on the road completely.
It is but human nature to want things done fast but as we all know, things done fast 90% of the time, end up a big waste. Let us have patience. Further more, their success has led to people in thousands wanting to join the party.
I can
see it happening in Bangalore with corporates standing up and taking the plunge.
The old school politicians will surely be laughing at all this. Their mantra as
always is to target the poor and gullible and end up winning.
