AAP Govt. – Be Comfortable With the Change
AAP is likely to form
its government soon, within a day or two. The emergence of AAP has been quite
sudden and unexpected. Those who are accustomed to the traditional mode of
politics may feel a bit uncomfortable for the language the champions of AAP are
using and modus they are adopting. On a number of issues they have adopted the
methodological approach – if you are not with us then you are against us; the
one which was adopted by America before its War on Terror in Afghanistan. It baffles
the conventional intelligentsia in Indian politics.
But every new beginning
of foundations is possible only when the existing structures are removed. AAP claims
to remove the remnants of the erstwhile politics. It claims not to improve the
politics but to end the rotten ways of existing politics and start a new
politics – lucid and transparent in its working.
Public is mostly
divided in two groups – the one which cast votes and the other those who after
casting votes discuss the implications also. This second group is now
apprehensive regarding the performance of AAP Govt. The main promise regarding
the reduction in power tariffs appears to be stuck in the clutches of power
supply companies. If these companies do not agree to supply power at a rate
forced by AAP Govt. and in case of highhandedness by the AAP, then would the
people of Delhi be going to face a threatened black out in near future. The answer
is not so simple. It may be anything ranging from the confidence and trickiness
of Kejriwal – the headman to disastrous frustration of the public’s dream of a
new era politics.
The second issue is providing
a minimum quantity of water to each family. So far no data has been presented,
neither by the proposed or previous Govt.s, showing the precise number of the
families which are in demand of water. Secondly, the water in Delhi is not
locally available. It has to be taken from the adjoining states. Then it has to
be purified. Then it has to be distributed. Delhi Jal Board does not have
resources enough even to reach the entire public in Delhi. In these
circumstances how the goals are to be achieved will be awaited by all the
concerned ones.
Same appears to be the
fate of Jan Lokpal Bill. It cannot be passed by the Delhi legislative assembly
simpliciter. The Sansad is to be taken into confidence. There are rules in that
regard. Until these rules are changed and the equations between the Delhi Govt.
and the Central Govt. are modified AAP Govt. would not be able to perform in
accordance to their promises.
But one thing is sure.
The working of the AAP in government is not going to be less interesting then
the hymns chanted by them during their risings. The future is certainly going
to be interesting.
