What national politics will come out of the Aam Aadmi Party’s election in Delhi, this should be the most present question today
Say ten years of power, or if you want, add 49 more days to it. After so many days, the farewell of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government should not have been hallmarks like special and ‘historical’. Nor should there have been so much uproar for a small and barely half-hearted government like Delhi. Again, in a period when various questions, allegations and allegations on democracy, mandate, election process are being raised, posts like mandate made mandate are in serious discussion, there is no difference in the promises of electoral politics, just two percent The distance of votes is not clear of the public mood, but only a confused message. This is, the importance or symbolic importance of Delhi, which makes him some high position in politics. Or say, due to the presence of central power in Delhi, the echo of political streams coming out of here is heard across the country.
In the current context itself, the 2011 Anna movement in Delhi, the background of political fizz, changed after 2014, and the Aam Aadmi Party emerged with the promise of a new political stream, which despite all its flaws and weapons. Standed at an important position. So, now what politics will come out of this electoral defeat, this should be the most present question today.
You have not been so weak if you have aimed at the scale of pure electoral politics. Its vote percentage in Delhi is almost 10 percent to 43 per cent as compared to the 2020 state elections and its government of overwhelming majority in Punjab. The BJP’s seats returned to power after twenty -seven years may seem more than doubled, but the vote percentage is only two percent more than you, about 45. All these stories are told in detail on the next pages.
But imagine, if the Election Commission would have voted before the Union Budget or as a promise, stop any move to woo Delhi voters in the budget (especially in Delhi, by giving more than 60 percent of the population to the middle class. Concession); If the Lt. Governor had not prohibited the implementation of the government’s decision to give cash allowance to women as it was done in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Jharkhand etc. Voter lists would investigate allegations of name cutting and adding names; AAP and Congress would have coordinated seats; So it would not be difficult for you to decide the distance of 2-3 percent of the votes. In such a situation, the mandate would look something else. Anyway, after voting of vote percentage and CSDS-Lokniti, the survey is estimated that the support of the lower strata, especially Dalit, Muslim, low middle class and women votes, has been supported or reduced in disintegration.
So, in normal circumstances, these results could be considered a natural culmination of ten years of power fatigue, but what is ‘historical’ in it, which was mentioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the partymen in the BJP headquarters after the victory of Delhi? It is from here that the door of that politics opens, which can be seen in the country in the next days. In fact, BJP may have been winning all seven seats in all three Lok Sabha elections from 2014 to 2019, 2024 from Delhi, but AAP or its leader Arvind Kejriwal has been an important part of the anti-BJP axis. The BJP or its top leadership can get the direct benefit of their strength decreasing or your defeat. Perhaps in the case of vote bank to an extent, because Kejriwal has been putting forward the same religious grounds in its politics, especially in later years, on which the BJP claims its Hindutva. Secondly, in the issue of corruption and delivery politics, Kejriwal also challenges the top leadership of the BJP, which has a fabricated image of the BJP’s top leadership and is a natural class to prepare an alleged beneficiary class in the country.
More than this, look at the India block challenging the BJP, which limited the BJP to 240 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. If the Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar, an important architect of India Block, does not change before the election, then the results can be gauged. Perhaps in this sense, BJP leaders are calling Kejriwal’s defeat as ‘historic’. That is, the more scatter in India block, the more the BJP will get. Modi also indicated this in his same speech, “Regional parties, especially Samajwadi Party (Uttar Pradesh), RJD (Bihar) and other parties, should be careful as the Congress is trying to get back its lost support base by stealing their agenda. ”
BJP or Modi know that it is not easy to reduce the strength of opposition leaders or to dominate the entire country without being broken. A big example of this is the Lok Sabha elections in which the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya also did not work much. So, in the states from which he was challenged in the Lok Sabha elections, there could be a dominance only by reducing the strength of the yen-ken-ken opposition forces in the assembly elections. Elections in Haryana, Maharashtra and now Delhi are examples of this. The differences of Lok Sabha elections and assembly elections in Haryana and Maharashtra have not been understood even today from the normal political scale. Now Kejriwal is in crisis in Delhi, then there is speculation about the AAP government of Punjab. See his account in the next story.
Similarly, consider the Lok Sabha elections and the political map of the country today. Then it will show different colors in the states of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Jammu-Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal and South. Now after these state elections, in the political map, in the north, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, etc. will be seen in Bengal and South Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu in the east. The rest of the entire expansion looks painted in the colors of BJP or NDA governments.
This dominance is a serious challenge for India block, for which wherever the doors were opened in the Lok Sabha elections, they are getting closed in the assembly elections. Perhaps this is the reason why Akhilesh Yadav of SP came in campaigning on AAP’s call in the condition of Congress and AAP in the condition of Congress and AAP, or in the condition of sourness emerging. Akhilesh Yadav must have understood from the defeat in the Milkipur by-election of Ayodhya-Faizabad parliamentary constituency that the road ahead is not easy. The Congress’s vote share in Delhi increased only two percent, but Rahul Gandhi will also realize that further fighting is not easy.
This year there are elections in Bihar. If India Block has to challenge the BJP’s dominance, then it may have to make a strategy fresh. At the moment, it seems that the BJP is becoming effective again in its strategies and nectar. That is why the politics of Delhi’s election results seems to be writing a new color in the country.
