Every activist can not be a politician but every politician needs to be an activist.Anna ,in his wisdom opted to remain single as an activist and Kejriwal married politics.Post wedlock activist-politicians are expected to deliver on their vows.We have the CM,W'Bengal, the nemesis of the Left, still pursuing to the exclusion of all else, wins in every election in the state big and small. The activist in her for two years now, is still ascendant over the politician in her. The state is worried at the inordinate length of the gestation in the delivery of effective governance and will have to wait till every seat is taken by the TMC ?. Following her foot steps,the AAP is perhaps diffident to take on the onus of running a government in Delhi allowing it unencumbered, to pursue its brand of activism on a pan-Indian canvas.Here is an opportunity before them to learn hands-on administration of a small and uncomplicated City state . Is there no place left in their activist space to address even this moderate challenge. Winning then is rendered without a purpose . Did not in living history, a Mandela the epitome of an activist,turn overnight into a consummate and enviable politician to single mindedly unify his srtife torn nation. The AAP ought to choose a similar onerous but rewarding option as now before them,in Delhi.Timidity in activism may entail a setback but in politics, it hastens extinction.
