Elections to Delhi Legislative Assembly


A few months ago the electorate of Delhi gave a fractured mandate with the result the second largest party in the Assembly namely AAP headed by Arvind Kejriwal formed the government with the outside support of Congress party against whom Arvind and his team fought elections. Unfortunately that group left the government on such a small issue that people started doubting the credentials of Arvind's AAP. He probably thought he would become the Prime Minister of this country with a similar support of the voters across the country. That explains the reason behind distributing seats to hundreds of aspirants against the Congress and BJP. 

He burnt his fingers badly but even now thinks that Delhi voters would again vote him to power. With Narendra Modi as popular PM in the capital it is still more difficult for him to repeat the same performance now. The voters of Delhi would certainly give sufficient majority to BJP to form the government on its own. They are not foolish enough to defeat the BJP and face the music in terms of development.

What a waste of public money in electing a government so soon?

The best course would have been to allow the BJP, being the largest party in the assembly soon after the elections,  to form the government. The assembly work should have proceeded on the basis of the support on each of the topics being debated and decided and not necessarily on party basis.

Well. Let us wait and watch the result of the ensuing elections.
