What happens to the Aam Aadmi Party?

Dear Mr. Kejriwal

It is honestly thanks to AAP that India has achieved a stable Government at the centre; and I am not being sarcastic here. The truth about the Congress would never have become so public or believable had any other party brought it out. It is even more credible that AAP was able to transform itself as a national party knowing well that it would not make a significant presence in Parliament at first go.

I think the purpose was achieved. AAP was truly never meant to be a political party but the conscience of the people. The threat that the conscience could become so powerful and manifest itself as a force in politics made a lot of them shake in their dhotis or pyjamas; and for the first time many politicians realised that this nation will not accept any "ullu banawing".

Election 2014 was a good war to fight. You have learnt the tactical errors you made. Would the results have been different had you not - maybe not. But in my mind; you are about to make one more by staking your claim on the Delhi assembly once more - and this could be one big disaster as it will draw you from fulfilling the Party's larger goal of ensuring those in power do not go wayward rather than holding on to power.

You are in a unique position to figure out who really stands by AAP and chaff out the opportunistic parasites that had tickets and power in mind. Clean up within and be ready to become the true opposition from outside the Parliament as there is no one in there that can truly oppose the might of Mr. Modi. I believe he alone cannot bring about the change for he has several people within NDA who are there for fulfilling their own goals for their own benefit and not that of the Nation.

Constructive opposition rather than anarchy should be the new approach. Continue the push for "Lokpal" and "Lokayut" as well as bringing about changes in the laws and licensing regime that encourages corruption through the numerous catch-22 clauses. The majority - cutting across all division lines has spoken that it prefers to see action towards progress more than a fight to end corruption.

While the Nation celebrates; AAP should be thinking of reinventing itself to conform to the changed mood of the people. Your actions between now and 2019 will decide if the Party has made a real difference. There are many who believe in AAP and will not let it get forgotten.

Regards
