The Aam Aadmi Party, or AAP, is a political party founded by Arvind Kejriwal in 2012. It was born out of a civil society movement — Indian Against Corruption — that received massive popular support in 2011-12 after public anger over corruption charges on the then Congress-led UPA government.
It won its first elections in Delhi in 2013, and came to power with outside support from the Congress. But the government lasted only 49 days as Kejriwal resigned since he was unable to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi Assembly. The AAP returned to power in 2015, when fresh elections were held, and swept the Delhi elections winning 67 of 70 seats. The first few issues tackled by AAP were the fraudulent inflation of water and electricity bills, promising the people of Delhi certain free units of electricity.
The AAP government in Delhi has been in a tussle with the BJP-ruled central government and the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) over the division of powers. Kejriwal and several AAP leaders and ministers face corruption charges related to alleged irregularities in the 2021-22 Delhi excise policy case. The case has already landed former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, and AAP campaign manager Vijay Nair in jail.
Delhi ke logon ko muftkhori pasand hai aur mujhe bhi. Arvind hai toh mumkin hai.
Also add all modi haters be damned as they have nothing other than hate to offer.
The BJP is interested only in winning elections no matter what the cost. That is the only thing it cares about. To this end, they will lie, cheat, Stoke communal passion, exaggerate, boast, maybe even start a war. The economy be damned. The quality of life be damned. There will be no talk of education, healthcare, maintenance of law and order, human rights , all round progress.
The Congress with the Gandhi family on top is no match for it. Nobody wants to work in the opposition at the grass roots. So this nightmare will continue for a long time without an end in sight.
