He is the " Count" of the Common Man. is that so..?

Probably as I write this, the BJP would be either  a touch away from gaining a simple majority for forming the Govt or  Delhi getting ready for the President's rule. Anyway that's besides the point. This election has all the right reasons to be historical not because Congress got routed nor because BJP is all set to be back after 15 years. This election has come to become historical because of Aam Admi, the party which came into being just a year back and able to vanquish the 15 years  of vanity of Congress as well  making the  BJP  almost miss the 'Bus'.. Arrivind Kejeriwal a newbee on the political turf, succeeded  in delivering the  much needed lesson to Delhi's veteran  political Parties. For this  political rookie it is a phenomenal success  to  be able  to keep the  the mighty  political veterans  breathless and  running  for their vote. Well done Aam Admi. You  have  proved   that Politics in India which is generally  a family  inheritance can

The time was just right enough for the people of Delhi to use their Democratic  right presumably to  say enough is enough.... Incidentally the new born Aam Admi party rising up to phenomenal popularity has helped the people of Delhi to pin for a brand new alternative other than the BJP. However it will

Had they willed, 15  years were  simply not less enough to make the city clean and comfortable for the people  to walk its  roads and lanes  without having to bear the stench , foul plays and road rages that   has now become the part of the common mans daily doze of ordeals. They  logged bulk of their  time in trouble shooting and dishing out excuses for their  non performances that were  hand fed and non palatable.... Their model of governance has always been  based  on the theorem that enriching the insiders and the cronies always  pays..and it surely has proved to have paid them off well beyond the arithmetic of  common man's imaginations.. The " Wednesday Wait"  will let us know  if they pay the price  and  turn "History" or they carry on and create History ...? This city if not practically,at least   literately is  their home turf .They are home spun community. Had they any time willed to  truly demonstrate the strength of unity and honesty in pull
