All sound and fury

For a ' party ' conjured out of Anna Hazare and Sunday movements, the AAP has done well.Given that Delhi, a  mere overgrown urban megalith having false pretenses to being a state,a fledgling AAP had  managed to position itself as a  ' party ' of substance. This would never have been possible in a regular State as it has neither the resources nor an assiduously built up cadre to be of reckoning, for larger spreads. With many of the founders washing their hands off on a near daily basis, AAP took to fireworks display with its limited stock of the anti corruption sulphur .Now,some of those rockets seem to misfire in its own  backyard, which  may sadly singe its raison d'etre.  But then,  raw politics often boomerangs and  AAP is new to it. Delhi could now see the usual  elections  , with internal rifts of the BJP and to a lesser extent in the Congress,  broadly steering the outcome.The onus is on the electorate  now,to carry the spirit forward  by retaining  the corruption factor center stage,through to 2014 with or without AAP. Should that happen, Anna would have the last laugh.
