From credible Leadership to invaluable Opposition. The meandering AAP schematics just don’t add up

Off late we been sensing a tectonic shift in the rhetoric emanating from the AAP faithful – till just about a month back all we would receive from Shri Shri Kejriwal and Co is the good that AAP can do for the country if it comes into power (no matter the absolute zilch achieved during their 49 days stint in government). And now, we hear of them wanting to provide a clean opposition, a reliable conscience against the next government in power.

But this blurb isn’t a tirade against AAP and its antics (surprise, surprise), on the country I am advocating that we all do consider voting for them (!!) but not this year, not this time.

The call of the hours is that we have a government which has proved its self, a leader who has shown the way on development, on progress and on improving every single measurable human-development index in his state.

So here’s how I think this nightmarish scenario just might pan out.

If perchance the BJP is not able to win a significant number of seats which doesn't give the NDA a clear majority, it will be heavily reliant on not just its current allies but would also need to seek outside support from the likes of mercurial featherheads including, but not limited to, M/s Amma, Didi & Chichi’s – all of which dot the current Indian political landscape!

And to put this in perspective – spare a thought for our poor current PM; Maun Mohan Singh knows just as well what one can (mostly cannot) achieve when he is hemmed-in by a capricious women… a feeling, I'm sure, most married men will attest to!

So given this rather scary scenario we might have a government which is so reliant on its allies that it is almost held hostage to their whims and fancies. Would such a government be capable of pushing through big ticket economic reforms, of unleashing the bitter medicine that our economy, indeed the country needs to shake of years of socialist lethargy? We have for far too long been driven by policies that aim to please a particular bastille just in the name of garnering votes.

10 years and multiple mega scams later, where is our nation headed? Let us destroy the crooks from this government and their small-time selfish regional satraps who have cultivated their own private vote banks at the cost of this countries growth. At the same time filling their own coffers and banks accounts in Switzerland or Liechtenstein or Dubai.

Every vote that goes against BJP to people like the AAP who have yet to prove their mettle in any forum (adept handling of social media and drama bazi don’t count!) just might bring in one less seat to BJP, make it just a little bit weaker and ever so slightly more reliant on outside support. And is this a happy scenario? Does this in any way make for a strong decisive government?

Every vote for AAP doesn't bring in a stronger opposition; it just brings in a slightly weaker government who might be held beholden to some whimsical ally!

BJP is the best chance we have today, maybe the only chance the nation has! Let us bring in BJP with a strong and clear mandate required to clean up this unholy mess.

And if after 5 years they too turn out to be a bunch of muppets, I will personally wear the AAP topi to work each day thereafter till the 2019 elections!
