Delhi polls: AAP manifesto is flight of fancy out of sync with economic realities

http://www.firstpost.com/politics/delhi-polls-aap-manifesto-is-flight-of-fancy-out-of-sync-with-economic-realities-2075487.html

In a 42-page manifesto, the question of how all this extravaganza is going to be funded gets almost no mention. The only indication that AAP will somehow try and marry finite resources with infinite promises comes towards the end, where it solves the equation with two glib statements.

First, the manifesto claims (unconvincingly) that “the common theme across all policy interventions is the following motto: big change without big spending.” It is good to know that power plants, hospitals and schools can be built without much moolah.

It was really sad to know that AAP won in my city.
I really feel suffocated nowadays. All of my family members voted for BJP.
Kejriwal made a fool out of everyone.
Poor low life junkies(no offence) who wanted everything for free without doing anything voted for AAP.
Kejriwal even communalised the elections by repeatedly telling that he is from "Aggarwal Samaj" and by telling the media that "mein 30 din roze rakhta hu" . I know a hell lot of people who told me that they voted for AAP just because kejriwal was from their caste(bania). R.I.P those who voted for AAP because of the reasons mentioned above.

lol, When BJP do all these then they are superior party and you can't blame BJP, when AAP do this then AK is communal.

Everyone know BJP is communal party. They tried everything to win. But they were failed.
BjJP fully tried polarised hindus, by attacking in Church and one day before election through Imam giving support to AAP
and Finance Minister did PC after 2-3 minute when Imam supported AAP and criticise AAP for polarise voter but when Ram Rahim
Support BJP so they accepted and said thanks for support. It was AAP first party in Indian history who said we don't want your support.

For your knowledge I am also Hindu, and not communal like other BJP bhakt.

Do you know the meaning of 67/70 Seats. Means not  only poor voted for AAP even rich voted for AAP so according to you
Rich also need freebies. They did voted AAP because they believe AK has ability to reduce corruption and Delhi will be far better
City in future.

Otherwise it is impossible to get 55% vote shares means every 2nd person voted for AAP.

I was also really surprised by the results.
Arvind Kejriwal has no excuses to give now. Let us see whether this new experiment in Indian politics succeeds or not.

Pre-poll survey predicted an Aam Aaddmi Party win, but the historical sweep stunned pundits. AAP's chief strategist Ashish Talwar, who is a member of Arvind Kejriwal's core team, managed meetings, road-shows and booth management. As the landslide euphoria begins to settle, he tells HT what worked and how

AAP's booth management took its opponents by surprise. What all went into it?
For a party that has to be built brick-by-brick, only long-term planning works. Arvind initiated the mobilisation of booth-level volunteers by appointing gali-prabharis in July 2013. By the time, we contested our first election in November 2013, we could ensure basic minimum presence - 15,000 volunteers for 3,500 polling premises comprising 12,000 booths. We went for an expansion even before the Lok Sabha elections. This was really a game-changer. After 18 months of continuous work we finally had 3,000 people managing 35-40,000 volunteers at 12,000 booths. Our colleague Durgesh Pathak played a stellar role in this entire process and he along with Dilip Pandey ensured our success on the ground.

Despite the challenge of shedding the 'quitter' tag, Kejriwal seemed to have an instant connect with the public. Did the party plan it that way?
When he interacts, people open up because they identify with him. In that sense, he is a total voter converter. If people see him in person, take selfies with him or hear him, it works. So the idea was we should not waste resources on big rallies but hold meetings in each assembly seat. I like to call them VSJS - Vidhan Sabha Jan Sabhas, where the public is only from that particular constituency.  As the campaign progressed, the crowds increased. Some 800,000 to 1,000,000 people heard Arvind speak at 110 VSJS.

And the delay in holding fresh elections obviously helped?
Yes, we had an early start. After Arvind resigned in February 2014, the Centre didn't hold fresh polls for a year. And the delay worked in AAP's favour.  We started preparing in June itself. We were also first off the block in announcing candidates. Unlike in BJP, there was no confusion in AAP. Right from the word go, we wanted 'paanch saal Kejriwal'. There was a singularity of purpose.

In 2013, the roadshows that you planned for Arvind Kejriwal were a great success. Was the switch to public meetings a strategic one?
Last time, we started canvassing in July, so it was a five-month campaign. For this election, we had only two months so we held only one mega roadshow that was held for Arvind's nomination.

The party seemed to rely completely on Kejriwal…
He is our biggest leader. But in total 620 meetings and roadshows were conducted by all our star campaigners such as Bhagwant Mann, Kumar Vishwas, Sanjay Singh, Manish Sisodia, Yogendra Yadav, Ashutosh, Dilip Pandey, Vishal Dadlani, Gul Panag, Jasraj Jassi and many others. I must mention that Bhagwant Mann and Sanjay Singh were our most prolific campaigners holding the maximum number of meetings. Also, Kumar Vishwas's entry in January gave a fillip to the campaign and some of his meetings had crowds in five figures.

What was the strategy in areas like rural Delhi where AAP had failed in 2013?
There are thirteen seats of Delhi dehat and in 2013 we had drawn a blank there but in 2014 Lok Sabha, our performance was much better because many new entrants had joined the party between December and March 2014. We launched various frontal outfits. Once elections were announced, all ships sailed in the same direction

AAP gave tickets to many who came from other parties, and also to entrants…
Searching for candidates wherever required was the responsibility of our colleague Sanjay Singh, so he can answer this question better. But I would like to clear the air about new entrants into the party. When ticket distribution took place, AAP as a political party had existed for two years and one set of these entrants had been with us for almost a year. In fact of the 15 tickets that are said to be given to newcomers, only six are new entrants who joined post-Lok Sabha elections.

What next for you?
I have never asked for any party position but believed in doing whatever work is given to me. After the Lok Sabha elections I had taken a four month break, even this time, I might do the same but I haven't decided yet.

In 2013, the roadshows that you planned for Arvind Kejriwal were a great success. Was the switch to public meetings a strategic one?
Last time, we started canvassing in July, so it was a five-month campaign. For this election, we had only two months so we held only one mega roadshow that was held for Arvind's nomination.

The party seemed to rely completely on Kejriwal…
He is our biggest leader. But in total 620 meetings and roadshows were conducted by all our star campaigners such as Bhagwant Mann, Kumar Vishwas, Sanjay Singh, Manish Sisodia, Yogendra Yadav, Ashutosh, Dilip Pandey, Vishal Dadlani, Gul Panag, Jasraj Jassi and many others. I must mention that Bhagwant Mann and Sanjay Singh were our most prolific campaigners holding the maximum number of meetings. Also, Kumar Vishwas's entry in January gave a fillip to the campaign and some of his meetings had crowds in five figures.

What was the strategy in areas like rural Delhi where AAP had failed in 2013?
There are thirteen seats of Delhi dehat and in 2013 we had drawn a blank there but in 2014 Lok Sabha, our performance was much better because many new entrants had joined the party between December and March 2014. We launched various frontal outfits. Once elections were announced, all ships sailed in the same direction

AAP gave tickets to many who came from other parties, and also to entrants…
Searching for candidates wherever required was the responsibility of our colleague Sanjay Singh, so he can answer this question better. But I would like to clear the air about new entrants into the party. When ticket distribution took place, AAP as a political party had existed for two years and one set of these entrants had been with us for almost a year. In fact of the 15 tickets that are said to be given to newcomers, only six are new entrants who joined post-Lok Sabha elections.

What next for you?
I have never asked for any party position but believed in doing whatever work is given to me. After the Lok Sabha elections I had taken a four month break, even this time, I might do the same but I haven't decided yet.
You forgot to mention Arvind Kejriwal's job in the elections. He had to tell lies and communalise the elections. That's how you won.

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

I was also really surprised by the results.
Arvind Kejriwal has no excuses to give now. Let us see whether this new experiment in Indian politics succeeds or not.

Pre-poll survey predicted an Aam Aaddmi Party win, but the historical sweep stunned pundits. AAP's chief strategist Ashish Talwar, who is a member of Arvind Kejriwal's core team, managed meetings, road-shows and booth management. As the landslide euphoria begins to settle, he tells HT what worked and how

AAP's booth management took its opponents by surprise. What all went into it?
For a party that has to be built brick-by-brick, only long-term planning works. Arvind initiated the mobilisation of booth-level volunteers by appointing gali-prabharis in July 2013. By the time, we contested our first election in November 2013, we could ensure basic minimum presence - 15,000 volunteers for 3,500 polling premises comprising 12,000 booths. We went for an expansion even before the Lok Sabha elections. This was really a game-changer. After 18 months of continuous work we finally had 3,000 people managing 35-40,000 volunteers at 12,000 booths. Our colleague Durgesh Pathak played a stellar role in this entire process and he along with Dilip Pandey ensured our success on the ground.

Despite the challenge of shedding the 'quitter' tag, Kejriwal seemed to have an instant connect with the public. Did the party plan it that way?
When he interacts, people open up because they identify with him. In that sense, he is a total voter converter. If people see him in person, take selfies with him or hear him, it works. So the idea was we should not waste resources on big rallies but hold meetings in each assembly seat. I like to call them VSJS - Vidhan Sabha Jan Sabhas, where the public is only from that particular constituency.  As the campaign progressed, the crowds increased. Some 800,000 to 1,000,000 people heard Arvind speak at 110 VSJS.

And the delay in holding fresh elections obviously helped?

So according to you Modi told lies and communalise when he won Parliament Election and got full mandate.
