superb analysis of Khan mujtaba The AAP leadership ought to realise that success in political adventurism is essentially contextual. Delhi provided it the requisite context for a smooth sail. The absence of a regional political force in Delhi coupled with a proactive media network persistently and systematically exposing the commissions and omissions of the ruling clique potentially contributed to the AAP’s political rise. Expecting similar situation in other parts of the country for repeat performances is nothing but a chimera. The role of established regional parties in various states of the Union cannot be simply glossed over. However, Utter Pradesh on account of its proximity to Delhi and the highly cruel and insensitive governing strategies of the SP regime is bound to spare a reasonable political space to the AAP irrespective of the presence of the BSP. Certainly it is a moment for the AAP to rejoice for all that it had already gained in Delhi in its maiden appearance on the Indian political canvas. Although the party is set to make some inroads in UP and a few pockets of Haryana, nonetheless, it needs to come out with a comprehensive ideological frame and vision plan before proceeding to carve a credible niche on the national political map.
