Why should I Vote Aam Aadmi Party
in the Coming Assembly Election in Delhi?
I have been
following the AAP since its inception. Even before that I was part of ANNA
Movement in Delhi as a common man. The
August 2011 movement in fact is responsible for the revolutionary change in the
mindset of the Common Man. Earlier except for criticizing the government and the
corrupt politicians we did not think of changing the system which is
almost non-functional as far as honest practices and ethics are concerned.
The only thing we did was discuss the corruption issues among a
group and get back to our daily chores. The Aam Aadmi felt so helpless that he
had convinced himself that he has to live with this system which is full of corruption,
controlled by some powerful politicians and government protected goons. He cannot do anything except for voting one party after five years and watch the corrupt practices. The Aam Aadmi had just one or two options to vote and both the parties had miserably failed to help the common man.
Aam Aadmi
had no option, no hope as he was so busy making his ends meet with so much of
difficulty. It was his compulsion of life that he could not raise his voice against
corruption and wrong deeds of the Governments of all the parties.
What an Aam
Aadmi want from his elected government? Good infrastructure and roads, low
inflation rate, good law and order, criminal free society, free movement with
the family without any fear, employment, good education to their children, what
else. I don’t think a common man in India has too many expectations from the
Government. He wants to live in peace with proper implementation of law and
order. He want a small job and a corruption free government departments.
Today if I
have to make a driving license, no matter how efficient driver I am, I would
not be able to get a licence. Without bribe it is very difficult. If I have to
make a passport I will have to struggle a lot without the help of an agent who
have nexus with the Babus inside the passport office. Various news channels
have proved this in their sting operations but the system is still the same.
I am not surprised
that in my colony these days’ roads are being repaired on war footing. The
elections are about to be announced and it is not a coincidence. Some roads
which don’t even require any repair are being dug and repaired again. We can see
big posters and hoardings at the site that the work is being done by the local
MLA and MP. The public is not a fool Mr MP and Mr MLA. Where were you all these
5 years? Can you tell us to whom you have given the contracts for this work?
Can you share the details of the money spent and work done?
We will not be
surprised that after 3 months when the elections are over the condition of
these roads will again be the same because we do not believe that the work is
done honestly. This is the perception a common man has for the politicians now
because they have proved time and again that they cannot live without corruption.
The scams, tainted ministers, MLAs, MPs, Criminals in politics, interference in
the departments where the politicians have no role to play and nexus with Goons
etc,etc. All these things are so common in our society that a common man fears
to raise his voice.
There are
numerous examples where the honest bureaucrats or whistleblowers were killed,
murdered, or stopped from doing their duties by suspending them or transferring
them.
It is evident
and well reported by news channels and news papers that common man is always
afraid of police whereas the criminals have a good raport with the police and politicians. If an Aam Aadmi go to police for a
complaint, it is highly likely that he would be sent back and would not be listened
to by the people sitting there. It is surprising that even in the heinous
crimes like rapes and sexual assault the police is reluctant to file an FIR and
first try to convince the victim not to report it.
Where should
a common man go then? Now he has got a platform where he can be part of the
group to make a radical change in the system. He is no longer feeling helpless
and has a ray of hope in the form of AAP. Aam Aadmi Party, he thinks has the
capability to change this system which is rotten now and AAP has that will to
wipe out the corruption which is so deep rooted in our country.
Anna’s
Janlokpal Bill will be passed within few days coming into the power would be an
achievement and will definitely serve as a deterrent for the corruption. The
matter of the fact is even if half of the corruption comes under control we can
see a sea change in our society. I am sure AAP would religiously work on
bringing down the corruption.
Let us vote
for a change this time. Vote AAP and that would be the real change because you
have seen both the parties ruling simultaneously in Delhi. You have also seen
their performance. So changing one and bringing the other will do no good for
you. They are part of the same coin. Let us vote for Aam Aadmi Party and be a
part of the system to change the system.
