A Movement May Finally Kill A Billion Hopes

#AAP - one bet I wish I loose. AAP forming Govt with the support of ones whose opposition has put this party to the position where it is. Can the Principles be compromised? 

Do we go go for public opinion on what principles I have in our lives?

Thomas Jefferson said "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock". 

Another quote "When the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He marks, not that you won or lost, but how you played the game".  

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

All these quotes and many incidences in the history tell us that the ones who could complete their journey of meeting their final objective were the ones who did not compromise on fundamental principles. 

AAP is correct if the objective was to form the government, but if the objective was to clean the system then should have never given the power to the ones whom it defeated so badly. They were voted 30% votes polled. That's amazing and should have worked harder to come on their own after re-election. At this juncture there is not even a risk of putting the citizens under election expenses as this would be done with LS elections. To do something bigger the route can never be shorter. 

The right to go to election is in the hands of their so called supporting party. They are so intelligently shrewd that they would withdraw and also would be able to show that it is AAP's fault. In this huge system this is very easy to do so. 

There are plenty of examples of this type - VP Singh - kept saying he never wanted to be PM and then shrewdly defeated Chandrasekhar to become PM. Ch Charan Singh, Chandrasekhar himself and many others came to power like this and found themselves nowhere party wise. Individually though they could manage to be in. Ajit singh is the example. 

I wish he AAP survives not because I like as activism style of functioning does not help development. It may only at best punish corrupts but why I still wish them to survive is because of public belief on a movement is at risk. If they fail any other movement will take years to come up to this level. 


All those who read the story of baba Bhagwati and Daku Khadag Singh would understand why I'm saying this. If the onus was to respond to the people wish the better option could have been to go with open request to winning congress MLAs to come and join the AAP to remove the slightest apprehension of pulling the government. 

Still better would be to go to the floor test and force Congress to either publicly accept what AAP beliefs are or don't vote for the Government and expose them in full public view and go back to the people saying AAP needs to come to the power on its own or will wait till it happens.
