In the Delhi assembly elections, not only the Aam Aadmi Party lost power, but Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia have also lost their seats. Arvind Kejriwal, who landed on the political pitch from the Anna movement, had emerged as a juggler of power from his first election debut match. In the last decade, the Aam Aadmi Party completed the journey to form a national party with Delhi for forming a majority government in Punjab, but this time he missed out on a four in the politics of Delhi.
The Aam Aadmi Party, which has been holding the Sultanate of Delhi for 11 years, has to beat the assembly elections. The Aam Aadmi Party has been reduced to 22 seats, while the BJP managed to return to power after 27 years from 48 seats. The election defeat has removed Kejriwal's Delhi development model, while at the same time, there is a danger of braking on the political flight on the national plank of the Aam Aadmi Party. In such a situation, the question arises that now what will be the political future of Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party?
The picture of Delhi's power has completely changed. The BJP, which has been sitting in opposition for 27 years, will now hold a strong majority in power. The Aam Aadmi Party has been in power in Delhi for 11 years and will sit in opposition for the first time. While in power, Kejriwal used to get opposition leaders out of the House through martial. Veteran leaders like Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Saurabh Bhardwaj have lost the election, in whose absence the Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly. Gopal Rai and Atishi have won the election. In such a situation, in the House, a strong manner will have to be raised against the BJP government, which will give the edge.
It is not easy for Arvind Kejriwal to save his politics in Delhi, but it is not easy for Arvind Kejriwal to lose elections in Delhi. The effect of this is that Kejriwal has been describing the development model of Delhi as the best in the whole country, if the Aam Aadmi Party has to beat in the same Delhi. In such a situation, now his development model will also be questioned. The development model on which the entire politics of Kejriwal has stood, will now be seen standing on the opposition's question.
In Delhi, not only the Aam Aadmi Party has lost elections, but Arvind Kejriwal has also lost its seat. There is a big personal shock for Kejriwal, which can also raise questions about his future in politics. Delhi will also affect the politics of Punjab. Apart from this, Arvind Kejriwal's plan will get a setback regarding the expansion of the party at the national level. The party of India alliance which stood with the Aam Aadmi Party instead of Congress, will be seen making distance again.
While in power of the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi, Kejriwal was finding it difficult to preserve his MLAs and now it will not be easy to keep him in opposition. The Aam Aadmi Party has no ideology like BJP, Congress, Samajwadi or Communist Party. It was formed to come to power. In such a situation, living in opposition without any concrete ideology will also be a challenge for the party.
The Aam Aadmi Party was not formed on the basis of any ideology, due to which the MLA is not bound from any ideological point of view. The Anna movement formed a political party. Arvind Kejriwal announced the formation of the Aam Aadmi Party on 26 November 2012 and said that we had to enter politics under compulsion. We do not know politics. We are the common people of this country who are saddened by corruption and inflation, they have come to give alternative politics to them.
Kejriwal started Delhi politics in 2013 with 28 seats. In 2015, the Aam Aadmi Party won 67 out of 70 seats and managed to win 63 seats in 2020. Kejriwal may have come into politics under compulsion, but after coming to power, politics started enjoying. In just ten years, he made his strong presence within Delhi and made an identity on the national plank. Formed a government three times in Delhi and sat on the power of the Municipal Corporation. Punjab is in power with an absolute majority.
Now after losing the power of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal will be on the target of the opposition. Delhi is the headquarters of AAP. The party was launched from here, so losing the election here is a big shock. The Aam Aadmi Party is going to other states with the help of Delhi model. He also got success in Punjab and Gujarat. Losing in Delhi will also affect the plan for their expansion. The existence of the party is due to Delhi.
It will not be easy for Arvind Kejriwal to connect his leaders and workers with the party while being out of power. The Aam Aadmi Party has flourished in power in Delhi. Without power, it will be difficult for the Aam Aadmi Party to keep its leaders and workers tied in one thread. The biggest strength has been its cadre, which did not appear very active in this time Delhi elections.
The Aam Aadmi Party was formed on the issue of corruption, but now Kejriwal is surrounded by the same allegations. The top leadership of the party in Delhi was accused of alleged liquor scam and several leaders had to go to jail. The Aam Aadmi Party, generally aggressive, has come into defensive mode on several occasions after allegations of corruption. It is not easy for the Aam Aadmi Party to surround another party on the issue of corruption.
After coming from jail, Arvind Kejriwal resigned from the post of Chief Minister and said that he will prove himself in 'Janata Ki Adalat'. On this, the people have now made their seal by winning the BJP. In such a situation, Kejriwal's real ordeal is now starting. Born from Anna Hazare's movement, the party is going through its worst phase. The party came to the public due to the movement against corruption and now he has been accused of alleged corruption. In the liquor policy case, the top leadership like Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain still continue to have legal challenges.
The real impact of the results of the Delhi election will have on Modi vs Kejriwal's Narrator. Even when the Aam Aadmi Party was formed, the intention was to catch on the national horizon. The water has been again again on this, but what is left will end it. The Aam Aadmi Party has become a national party in recent times. In this way, Delhi's defeat can become a big obstacle in Kejriwal's political path. Kejriwal himself has lost the election, so even other big leaders of the party could not reach the House. In such a situation, will the Aam Aadmi Party be able to do road politics not only in Delhi but across the country?
