AAP ka Kerala: Badly Need a Kejriwal for Kerala

With the surprise grand AAP victory in Delhi ,The questions are again asked about the states it should expand next.Punjab is the obvious answer most are talking about and with right reasons. But Kerala is another one suggested by some analyst.

So the big question is, Can AAP extend its impact to Kerala for the next Assembly election which is another 18 months away.

If you analyse, the vote share during last election doesn’t give much promise.
But, Kerala’s current political ,social and economic  scenario provides an ideal ground for AAP to make a big positive impact.
Everybody badly  need a new alternative in kerala. But can AAP fill that gap?

AAP correctly fit to an average young Malayali’s political idealism and activism.
But What it lacks is a towering local leader like Arvind Kejirwal.
Even with so many eminent people joining it and even contesting election, they  doesn’t have a towering influence across all sections of the society.

The one ideal choice I could come up  going through so many faces is Raju Narayana Swamy( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raju_Narayana_Swamy).
He is an IITian IAS officer with impeccable record. If he leads that will be a revolution in kerala.


Raju Narayana Swamy,Can you rise and take the risk to give the much needed hope for a malayali generation caught  between cocaine and maoist?

Far the people to For the people : Indian democracy's defining moment

Another historic day for Indian democracy.
AAP win is different for different people based on your prejudice and political affiliations.

For an average Indian this win is another sign that reiterates Indian democracy is in right direction.
It is a warning to Modi and Shah ,So to act on the promised change faster.
A reiteration to congress that Indian politics has changed forever and for good.
And a remainder to other caste and dynastic regional parties that there decimation is not far away if they don’t prepare to change.
Final nail in the Left to realise what it is really meant to be pro poor.

So what 10th February AAP result offer for days to come?
It is defiantly a sign of change and sign of things to come.
Modi being a smart politician will see the writings on the wall and there will be fast actions towards change.
There will be more introspection in congress and people will be more vocal now for active leadership.
Left will be left with only leaders and regional satraps will try the last trick in their book to be stay relevant.

It will be interesting  to see an AAP government in action in Delhi and the first budget  from Modi government in the coming days.
