Why I'm Again Voting for AAP...

Quite clear that I've already voted once for AAP in 2013.

Neither they, and perhaps not even those who voted for them had any clue that they would go on to win 25+ seats then. The result was a fresh change. A clear message that people were not willing to accept Status quo in our politics and administration.

AAP forming the govt. was perhaps the best climax that entire saga could get. Most of us were happy. We had high hopes. And hence the resignation angered us. It was like.."why AK...why you had to do this. You could have done so much by being there".

Now looking back over the year gone by, and particularly the recent ad blitzkrieg by BJP, my resolve to vote for AAP is much more stronger than what it was in 2013.

BJP is not telling us why to vote for them; rather their focus is on telling us why NOT to vote for AAP.

They are saying : he ditched us, he is a bhagoda . Yes he is. But why he left ? Obviously there would be conspiracy theories abound; but to the common folks like me, AK left because he made a sincere attempt to fulfil a promise; and when he could not fulfil that promise, then he perhaps thought it was a moral duty to resign and seek a re-election to get full majority. If we have to draw parallels with Modi govt (and by the way, I voted for Modi)... then there were all sorts of promises on black money. What happened ? Should Modi Resign. Obviously No. He should seek mechanisms to fulfil those promises. When we are not questioning Modi's intent on Black money; then on what ground should we reject a second chance to AK.

They are saying - he takes U-turns, he lies. My only response to that is..look who's talking ? From the great marketer Modi to Ms. IPS... we have had a lot of "evolution in thoughts" or in other words.. "U-turns".

They are attacking his family...gotra and what not. Guys, What happened to Jashodaben...and her RTI...

When Modi can get a second chance despite Godhara, when congress can get a second chance despite emergency and '84, when SPs and BSPs of the world keep getting chance after chance...then why not AAP. Let us make a mistake this time... let us elect AAP this time... we've given chances to so many over last 60 odd years.... why not a chance to AAP. A chance to good intent. A Chance to fresh politics.
