Today Modi has won. Arvind Kejriwal has not been able to muster sizable seats. But on a maiden attempt he has made his presence felt and has forced political thinkers to evaluate his model. Modi can be summed up as “Trust me to deliver the change you want”, Kejriwal’s message has been: if you want change, then take on the responsibility for making the change happen. With 31% vote share he got 52% lok sabha seats. He is riding a wave of expectations. He needs to deliver to sustain this. In country of Indias proportion & diversity it will take time to deliver. In due course concentration of power in Modism may disenchant voters despite his delivery. It is then that Kejriwals model may get currency once again. The seed is sown. It may bear fruits in due course.
