Delhi polls is not a guinea pig

The  mixed basket  of seats in Delhi  seems to have seeded a needless political impasse. The hesitation of a debutant AAP with 28 berths, to run Delhi is unfortunate but the BJP's circumspection is inexcusable.Both are treating the Delhi poll as a laboratory pilot project, one its effervescent new ideology and the other to  validate its campaign leadership..Both must realise that political timidity tends to leave deep scars on the credibility of  any political outfit. Precisely why Congress has heavily  paid for it now. .The six month window , if utilised to run Delhi and achieve even a few telling points on consumer prices / a visibly perked up administration , would serve to boost the image ,be it the AAP or BJP.In this the AAP  would stand on a better footing ; its failures / slip ups will be condoned even as its honesty of purpose and its sense of obligation to its electorate would raise its acceptability into the big league , quite a few notches.The Congress would only be happy to gain a reprieve in the abdication of  others.
