AAP for the aam people of Delhi
The massive victory for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi does not merely indicate very strong electoral support for the AAP; it indicates the huge faith the people of Delhi have reposed in this new party and its relatively new leader, Arvind Kejriwal. The man who was labelled as a bhagoda, the man who was blamed for running away without delivering what he had promised to the people, has led the party not just to victory but to a stunning victory in Delhi. Hardly has there been an occasion in Indian politics when a party has registered such a massive victory.
In such a victory, one would thought that every section of voters would have voted for the winning party, but still the AAP was far more popular among the poor and the lower class voters when compared to the middle or upper class voters. Even during the past Assembly election, voters have remained sharply divided about their preferences on class lines in Delhi, but this election seems to have witnessed the sharpest class divide among Delhi’s voters. The Congress, which used to enjoy large support among Delhi’s poor, has surrendered its entire support base to the AAP.
