Delhi went to polls and gave a fractured mandate.No party was in a position to form a Govt.on its own.

Congress got routed,BJP fell short by 4.And a new political party,AAP, got 28. Eight short of what could have been a simple majority to form the Govt.

Initially they refused to form Govt.with the support of either BJP or Cong. Very rightly so,as they fought the elections on a strong plank of “honesty & clean governance”,which both BJP & Cong.could not provide as both parties are corrupt according to AAP.

In their earlier statements, AAP leaders ruled out any alliance with either of the two.

 Then a hurriedly taken decision of going for a referendum, whether AAP should make a Govt.in Delhi or not.What was this referendum all about,could not be understood.They argued that to avert re-election in Delhi,it became necessary to go to the people through a referendum.Then what for the elections.

As if there were no re-elections in India before.We have had re-elections not once but so many times.In a term of 5 years,elections have taken place well before the completion of the complete term.That too is a re-election.What was the hurry.AAP could have gone to the people again through a re-election,emerged triumphant and ruled Delhi on their own and gave the people of Delhi their due, without the support of those, who at one time were untouchables.

We don’t doubt the dignity and integrity of AAP,but referendum has undoubtedly gave a sufficient reason to think as to why “The Haste”,to be in the driver’s seat, with Congress at their back.

They were the 2nd largest party but they never enjoyed the majority.Re-Election could have been an option just to keep speculations at bay.

A transparent and bold way to rule would have put AAP “ON TOP”.
