Why Aam Aadmi Party Lost The Haystack?


The results of 2014 Lok Sabha Elections (LSE) would hurt the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) volunteers and supporters the most and what would even hurt them more is how AAP was ruthlessly rejected by the Indian voters. Even if it hurts, after every fall, first thing to do is find out the reason and hence the way forward for AAP is complete, total & ruthless 'INTROSPECTION'. There has been written a lot about the reasons of the defeat, but as a supporter, I needed to put down the reasons.
 
The emergence of AAP, heralded by an IIT graduate Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, after the Delhi Legislative Assembly Elections (DLAE) was like sun-rays breaking through the grim dark clouds that shrouded the Indian political scene. It was impressive to see AAP winning 28 out of 70 seats in the 2013 DLAE amounting to a vote share of 29.5% vote. A commendable performance by the new comer.
