The Decline of Aam AAdmi Party

Credits- VOA When Aam Aadmi Party was born out of the India Against Corruption and the move for the Jan Lokpal Bill, it was a watershed movement in Indian Politics. Led by the veteran Gandhian and Social Activist Anna Hazare, the demand for change was coming from the grass root. People who was fed up of the political system which was apathetic to the voice of the people and cared little for change was shocked. It was sure that Indian politics was about to change.

Clearly this will not be cake walk for the Congress as it battles anti incumbency factor coupled with rising corruption, high inflation, a weak economy and a directionless leadership. The BJP has a clear upper hand, fresh as they are with land slide victory in the just concluded assembly elections. The message that the BJP is putting up is of a strong country with a robust economy, strong defense and foreign policy. That particularly attracts the youth as they are fed u
