AAP in a fix over repoll with Lok Sabha elections

NEW DELHI: A big dilemma faces the new kid on the block. Buoyed by its stunning performance in the Delhi election, Aam Aadmi Party was planning its national debut with the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. But as no one is interested in forming the government in Delhi - a situation that will necessitate a repoll, probably with the Lok Sabha elections - AAP is caught in a bind.

Its dilemma is this: if AAP fights both Delhi and national elections simultaneously, its resources would get badly scattered. Many of its volunteers are from other cities and towns, and in the event of a Lok Sabha election they would go back to their own states, thus crimping AAP manpower in Delhi. However, if AAP chooses to sit out of the national elections, it would lose the momentum that's with it now.

The leadership is, therefore, still debating what to do next - should it fight the Lok Sabha elections or not. On Monday morning, the AAP core team met to assess its performance in the Delhi poll and to chart out its course of action.

Internally, AAP isn't unhappy that it didn't get a majority. The leadership knows that most of its MLAs are political greenhorns, unlettered in governance and unexposed to the hurly-burly of office. Sitting in opposition for five years, it is felt, would give the new crop time to learn the ropes.

But that's unlikely to be. The BJP has decided that it will not form the government as it is four short of the majority mark, and indulging in horse-trading now would sully its image on the eve of the Lok Sabha polls where the stakes are much higher. Consequently, the stage is set for a repoll.

"If the repoll is not scheduled along with the Lok Sabha elections, we will actually stand to gain because then AAP would emerge even stronger," said AAP sources. "People now view us as a credible alternative. But now we have this new problem. While we are planning for the 2014 national election, if there's a clash between that and Delhi elections, we would be quite pressed for resources."

The party has already formed 309 state units across the country. These units have assisted AAP by sending a steady stream of volunteers to the capital in the last few months of campaigning. Now, these volunteers would be caught up in their own state if AAP were to fight the Lok Sabha elections, thus reducing its manpower strength in Delhi.

"Volunteers are a big worry for us," said a senior AAP member. "Thousands of them came from other states, and certain candidates had their core volunteer groups from other states - states to which they either belong or have studied in. Another AAP wave can be built up in Delhi but it would be difficult if there's a national election hanging over our heads."

In Chattisgargh RG Himself took command and was physically present there for 3 months there was Anti-incumbency/syampathy etc.etc
forcing NaMo to speak in 19 rallies from the 4 originally planned, 27 congress MLAs lost their seats and there is no NaMo wave

in Rajasthan NaMo rallied in 23 places RG,SG,Kamalnath, CP Joshi, Gehlot and his ilk rallied 100+ places, there was free medicine/treatment even for farm animals first ever Metro in Rajasthan FSB, old age pension
Congress could not manage even 25 seats out of 199, they got miniscule 21 seats, which means Congress are even unfit to call themselves opposition, Rajasthan is supposedly most casteiest in election but the tally and pattern shows voter voted above caste, clan jati vagera, and there is no NaMo wave

in MP even Bhajapa had calculated to no more than 138 seats at best, NaMo spoke in... me forgot the numbers again
Sv joshi, Digvijay sing Kamalnath the jarnail Sindhiya (direct appointee from RG) and the Pachoria janab and almost a million CDs with hanky panky of Bhajapa could not get them 25% seats, MP congress CEO even lost his own seat and his right hand man his deposit and there is no NaMo wave, and oh! me forgot the Anti-incumbency.

added later:
am sure there will be

due to lack of choice people voted Bhajapa

Mayawati contest in 166 seats in MP 177 seats in Rajasthan and in all seats in CG
in MP she lost 3 seats from 6 to 3 in CG from 4 to 1 and in Rajasthan zero

the Champion of Trud front, the onree choice, the sekolar among the sekularist Maullana Moolaayam Sing Yadav
contested in 183 seats in MP and scored zero, in Rajasthan Zero from 199 seats here all of them from azam makhi moolaayam to aggrawaal all had literally camped there wooing voters and enlightening voters about real Sekularism.

Why the BJP loves AAP

Economic policy according to the AAP/ Kejriwal should be as follows (obtained from interviews, manifestos, etc): "GDP growth should be directly related to the lives of the people, but such growth affects very few people.... The AAP opposes privatisation, wants government in oil extraction (and much else), recommends an increase in effective taxes on the middle class and supports increases in fuel and electricity subsidies. The AAP would take measures to ensure basic facilities, for example electricity expense reduction of 50 per cent and 700 litres of free water. Further, the AAP believes in government provision of high-quality education and health, regulation of fee of private schools, implementation of minimum wage, etc."

The AAP may signal the birth of honest politics (I believe it does), but it most likely signals the birth of Luddite and extremely dishonest economics. Until I read the AAP manifesto, I believed that it was a close race between Sonia Gandhi and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela for the title of populist of the century. In her spurt over the last five years, the close race is no more — Sonia Gandhi is the champion. But I now believe the title should go to Kejriwal, as revealed by his economic views as quoted above.

What implications for the 2014 election? Each party's interests are different. The Congress has to attempt to become relevant; a course change is difficult, but not impossible. The AAP needs to mature into a responsible establishment outfit. And the BJP needs to pray that the AAP gets the financing to turn 2014 into a three-cornered contest. It knows that only six out of every 100 BJP voters voted for the AAP, but six times as many (36 out of 100) Congress voters did so. The math of the first-past-the-post system is well known to the BJP. If the AAP is almost the new Congress, as seems likely, then the BJP can be realistically ambitious about winning 2014 by a near absolute majority.

His economic policy will be a long-term disaster for the country but populist policies are difficult to oppose and policies with long-term negative impact are easily brushed aside.

If raising of Income tax on middle class is part of their manifesto it can immediately be linked to their populist policies and both can be attacked immediately and effectively. After all tax bite is simple to understand for all.

10:01 Anna to begin indefinite fast for Jan Lokpal Bill today:
Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare would start another indefinite fast from Tuesday at his native village Ralegan Siddi in Maharashtra to press for Jan Lokpal Bill.

The Jan Lokpal Bill, also referred to as the Citizen's Ombudsman Bill, is an anti-corruption legislation drafted by civil society activists, seeking appointment of an independent panel to investigate cases of corruption.

Anna yesterday addressed a press conference and asked the Government to bring the Jan Lokpal Bill in the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament.

The social activist accused the Congress of betraying him and the people and said the government has repeatedly said that it will bring Ombudsman Bill, but never done so.

Anna further said that time has come for the UPA government to deliver on its promise or quit.

The social activist, who had shot into national limelight with his fasts in Delhi over the issue, has chosen Yadav baba temple in his native village this time.

no govt , but he is fasting for it

Arvind Kejriwal or Narendra Modi? A re-poll in Delhi could witness a whole new game - The writer is director, CVoter

Narendra Modi has converted wins into big wins, and big wins into landslides, a preliminary analysis of Semifinals 2013 reveals.

<snip>

Now if there is another election, it is possible that the contest will be bipolar, between BJP and AAP. The talk is that if that happens, the gap between BJP and AAP will widen and the Congress may be wiped out again. But then, it is too early to write off the Congress. There have been instances in the past where they have risen like a Phoenix. Their share of votes is hardly three to four per cent less than AAP. But there are plenty of Congress MLAs, good MLAs, who have lost by really slim margins.

<snip>

If the Assembly elections in Delhi happen again along with the Lok Sabha polls, it will be interesting to see people voting for Arvind Kejriwal for chief minister and Narendra Modi for prime minister. AAP this time got anti-Congress votes which may go to BJP in the re-poll. In about 21 of the 28 seats with AAP, the BJP candidates are runner-ups. Though nobody can rule out AAP denting the traditional parties further, it will be a long shot for the party if the assembly and Lok Sabha polls happen at the same time.

At that time, Delhi will just be one of the 28 states going to polls. AAP will be forced to criticise Modi which it has beautifully avoided so far as it knows that many of its voters are also Modi's fans. It will then be a big risk if Kejriwal speaks out against Modi. Meanwhile, in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, the question was not if BJP would come in power. It was, in fact, how big the majority would be. In both states, the gap between simple and overwhelming majority was brought about by the leadership of Narendra Modi.

BJP's victory in the outer/periphery of Delhi is good news and so is the rejection of CON by migrants.

Congress’s rejection by migrants bad news for Lok Sabha polls

NEW DELHI: As a city state with a large migrant population, if Delhi elections reflect voter sentiments of regions to which these migrants belong, it's bad news for Congress in 2014 polls. Of the 15 constituencies where migrants from UP and Bihar have a significant population, BJP has won nine while AAP has bagged four leaving just two for Congress.

To make matters worse, in five of the nine seats where BJP has won, AAP is in the second position, while on two of the four seats won by AAP, BJP is a close second. The Congress is second to AAP or BJP only in five seats. In two constituencies (Gokalpur and Palam), Congress is not even among the top three. Put together, Congress has had little influence on voters in as many as 10 constituencies with migrant population.

The combination has virtually pushed Congress out of the equation among people from UP and Bihar where Congress along with other parties will fight a decisive battle to stall the BJP juggernaut for 2014 polls.

CON bandars do not want to see, hear and talk about the winds of change blowing across India.

Please, let us not take perverse pleasure in propagating this vile piece of news. It is a serious matter and could happen to any of us - any of us could be framed tomorrow, with all the hoopla about women's issues in the country now.

Whether you are pro or anti AAP, this issue needs to be resolved and taken to its conclusion, which is the exposure of the Congoon scum who is trying these dirty tricks.
The quicker AAP is demolished the better and hoisting them up on a pole by their chaddis at every opportunity is a must . So what if it is dirty tricks by congoons. Sure law will take its course but in the meantime, hoist away.

This definitely looks like dirty trick the accused MLA's sister was a close associate of AK and was killed in a hit and run road accident few months back. The CON MLA whose wife has made the accusation is a known gunda in the area. Let us take down AAP but not by supporting gundagiri.

I agree. I don't know if this has been expressed earlier on this thread - but we owe a lot to the far-sighted voters of Rajasthan, MP and Chattisgarh. They have clearly showed that they indeed represent the new aspirational India that will strive to take the country forward on the growth path.

BJP picks its playing XI: Party banks on 11 states for 2014 Lok Sabha polls win

The Bharatiya Janata Party has sharpened its final countdown to the general elections of next year. Party CEO and president - Narendra Modi and Rajnath Singh - have revised the target upward to beyond the magic figure of 272, deciding to focus on 11 states in the north and central zone of the country so as to form the next government.

In the four states where results were declared on Sunday, the BJP got 408 of the 590 seats. The party leadership now wants to ride carry this momentum forward into the general elections.

"Our aim is to first cross the 272 mark and hold public rallies to take across the voters our message for good governance, anticorruption agenda and enrolling new voters," party president Rajnath Singh told Mail Today.

It is learnt that the party's prime ministerial candidate and poster boy Narendra Modi now wants the BJP to not only target the nearly 72 parliamentary seats in these four states, but extend the momentum over the nation's entire northern and central zones.

To all the people here spewing venom against AAP, i am a bit mystified. No really, I am mystified. AAP has never ever advocated a single position that is in contention with any of the core BJP ethos. AAP is absolutely not interested in wooing the core BJP voter. AAP's every proclamation is vying for the same slice of electorate that Congress/SP/BSP/etc. have traditionally banked on for decades. If congress is secular, AAP is maha-secular. If congress is appeasing minorities, AAP is even more desperately wooing the minorities. If COngress has a vice-like grip over all the brainwashed or 'professional' Hindu sekoolers, AAP is biting off a large slice of that Hindu sekooler brigade (to the extent that even the fraud media is looking at AAP as the savior after the congress is wiped out. Every trick employed by AAP has been to compete for votes that traditionally has been in congress' bag for generations.
AAP is the tea-party to the Congress' Republican party (borrowing the American political context). Due to a lack of primaries, AAP is directly contesting against congress (and also against BJP).
Then why the venomous angst against AAP?
Are people here scared that AAP may actually upstage Congress AND BJP and form a government at the center in some distant future? And promptly give away Kashmir and Siachen and send the IA to barracks? For crying out loud, they don't have the balls to form a gov in Delhi, that is being given to them on a platter.
Am I the only one who feels that AAP's toxicity is competing directly against a much bigger toxicity of congress-system rather than BJP's own voter base?
How are NTR and TMC and Chiranjeevi and other examples even relevant here? I am truly at a loss to understand the thought process of the analysis here.
That AAP's agenda is toxic may be a given - but that agenda is directly competing against an even more radio-active agenda of congress. If I were to be in the BJP think-tank, I would encourage AAP to contest in as many places as it can. Because it is taking away votes from congress far far more than me.
JMHO

Well I would grant more intelligence to the IIT crowd (& I am one of them) than to vote for Kejriwal simply because he is one of us!

I am a big believer in the theory that it is an 'elite' and committed group that ultimately is responsible for moving society forward - but IITians who vote on the basis of kinship and not of policy vision - would certainly not qualify as the elite capable of driving the nation.

INC seems to have thrown in the towel already , if uber-sycophant MSA is to be believed:

It's good to lose

As a Congressman, I greatly welcome Sunday's electoral reverses. I also look forward to our probably occupying the opposition benches after the mid-2014 Lok Sabha elections.

The reason for this paradox is that for at least the last quarter of a century, my party has been in desperate need of a root and branch restructuring. Rahul Gandhi has promised a transformation of both the organisation and leadership of the party. He has spoken, at the moment of electoral defeat, of a "paradigm shift" from "traditional" approaches. He has proposed that the voice of the people be "embedded" in the structure and programme of the party. He has gone so far as to suggest that the 120-year-old Congress has much to learn from the 12-month-old Aam Aadmi Party. All this is in line with the agenda he set himself when he was elected vice president of the party at Jaipur, just under a year ago.

Ignore all the BS about Rahul baba getting chance to change INC etc but the 1st line caught my eye

1. Eliminate all anti-Maoist/nationalistic elements of Congress, thus paving way for aggressive EJism.
2. His most sinister calculation being, he want to field deceased members's family as candidates to garner sympathy votes. Had it worked, people have voted for deceased members's family without bothering who killed them. Here came the White Knight, NaMo who recused CG at nick of slippery moment.

I bet BJP should give assurance of support to AAP to form the govt with only one condition "fulfill your manifesto." Let see what AAP promised.
1. Within 7 days, electricity bills cut into 50% and 750 liters of pure water per day.
2. Within 15 days, free land line phone to every house (I bet, even MTNL/Airtel and other private companies even willing cannot do this in flat 15 days).

If AAP fails, BJP can expose AAP and can withdraw support after 1-2 months, so that Delhitis can realize AAP is just selling an utopian idea.

The best way to slap AAP is to organize a rally by ordinary folks (where AAP won with a large margin) of the lower strata demanding of AAP their 50% reduction in bijli bill and 700 lt of water now that they voted for them.

Have them holding a jadu and shouting slogan that if AAP does not at the minimum provide these in the promised 7 days then they will to the safaya of pAAP.
