DELHI ELECTIONS ---- A BIG FARCE!

DELHI ELECTIONS : A BIG FARCE.

People of Delhi fool themselves when they vote for Assembly elections because Delhi Government which emerges after elections is a lame duck government at the mercy of a party ruling at the centre. So, if they have voted for Arvind Kejriwal, they would have another spell of non governance and non delivery of promises by AAP. Two reasons I will give for defeat of BJP. They are:-

  (a) Public perceptions of recent state elections victories of BJP going to the head of Narender Modi and his self image of a man larger than life. This is evident from his suit with self -name pin stripes, he wore during OBAMA Visit. People became suspicious of his motives and intentions. And the CHAIWALA was conceived as some one who was drifting away from ground realities. People want to bring him down to Mother Earth.

 (b)  Betraying the trust of Ex Service Men (ESM) , who campaigned for Narender Modi in large force during parliamentary elections. He started his campaign from Rewari in September 2013. ESM might not have votes but they are opinion makers. They are loyal soldiers alright but they can hit back if their trust is betrayed. I see it as coming because there was a lot of resentment on account of non- implementation of promised OROP on silly grounds. If at all AAP wins, it should ESM community for the same.

In my earlier article   DELHI ELCETIONS 2015--- TWISTS AND TURNS, a few days back I had best explained the view point of a COMMON MAN ( Not of AAP) of Delhi when I said, I quote, "-------In a way, victory of AAP in Dehli is desirable, as it would ensure that BJP remains firmed to the ground. The victory in Dehli would make BJP arrogant and disconnect it from the masses. BJP needs a shock treatment and Dehli alone can give it. The reason for this is the fact that it has been deviating from its stated promises. It has almost forgotten about its tall promises of "Black money Repatriation", OROP promise to ex servicemen, prosecution of Robert Vadra and corruption minimization.---------"

This explains why AAP would win. Primarily, it would be a reminder to BJP and Narender Modi to stick to their promises. People do not want rhetoric but action. They want results. And on these counts, as stated above, BJP and Narender Modi were withering. One man who can take the blame on behalf of BJP is its Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley. He has put spokes in the implementation of a number of promises, personally made by Narender Modi. And his biggest blunder was turning ESM community against BJP for going silent on OROP for considerable amount of time. ESM community might not have own votes. But they influence voters. Every village and locality of India has a ANNA HAZARE. This BJP had ignored.,

All said and done, projected Delhi defeat of BJP if does come about, it should be seen as a knock on the knuckles to remind her of its promises. It must not be seen as a referendum on Narender Modi. However it should give no solace to Delhites. AAP will not be able to do what it promises because of a number of factors, some of them highlighted in succeeding paragraphs.

 As a young school going child in the early 60s, I had attended an election rally by Sardar PARTAP Singh KAIRON, late Chief Minister of Punjab. It was for general elections. He had told the voters, in Punjabi,  "JADON VOTE PAYOGE, YAAD RAKHNA, KHAZANE DI KUNJI MERE KOL HAI. ( When you vote, remember , I am the custodian of treasury key). He had implied that as Chief Minister of Punjab he controlled the finances for the development of Hoshiarpur District. Despite this open threat, Congress lost and Major General Jai Singh ( Retd) , Bhartiya Jan Sangh candidate, had won. But Hoshiarpur remained underdeveloped with state government paying no attention.

There you are, then. Who controls finances of Delhi? Financially, Delhi has no substantial revenue of its own. It's budget is dependent upon doles from the Centre. It has no major industry. Most of the economic activity takes place in NOIDA which is part of UP.

Delhi produces no electricity of its own. It depends upon private Distribution Companies , who buy it from National Power Grid , controlled by the Centre.
It is NOT understood how, AAP will keep its promise of reducing electricity Bill.

Drinking water for Delhi comes from Haryana, which has a BJP government. Anytime its water pipe line and water tanks can go dry, so, how's AAP going to manage drinking water for Delhites.

Law & Order is with Centre because it controls police. Therefore, there will be many administrative problems faced if AAP is voted to power by Delhites.

The revenue generated by Metro and Transport department can not be enough to run a government ruling over 1.80 CRORES People. At best AAP can create LIQUOR VENDS at every nook and corner of Delhi to generate more funds.

All in all If AAP has been voted to power by Delhites , they have voted for their miseries and ordeals. At best they can only expect from AAP  a regime which would be characterized by DHARNAS, protesting, launching agitations etc. against the Union a government, who would further tighten the screws.

This ENGLISH media supported victory of AAP would play a big farce on Delhites.. Most members of AAP, including Arvind Kejriwal, are not AAM ADMI------ some rickshaw wallas in the fore front are only masking the face of these money bags in the background. How can a person call himself an AAM ADMI , if his wife is earning around Rs 1.5 LAKH as pay every month?

The victory  whose foundation is on falsehoods, bound to turn into defeat in a short period of time. Delhites, be warned for another elections in a year or so, if you have voted AAP to power. You have bought this problem for yourself because you have backed up a wrong horse, who was rejected by the whole country.
