Merely entering the electoral fray ,the AAP has restored primacy to political probity. Even a modest 4/5 seats in Delhi for the party,would provide the necessary anchor to this long lost and much missed public concern.The parties that dared the Anna movement to stop sermonising but enter the arena,would stand chastised.Should the AAP hit a tally of say,15 ,it would open up new dimensions. This would heighten the negation of the two national parties and should the trans Delhi entities like SP ,BSP further garner amongst themselves a high score,the reassertion of the Congress & BJP back into the Delhi state equations, will get harder over time.The NOTA tally in the recent Delhi polls, if significantly high, should worry them even more.On the national canvas too,the implications are likely to go beyond 2014. The take away is that the ruling and Opposition parties must immediately endeavour to regain national stature and the best place to do it right now is in the Parliament . This winter session will indicate if both are wise enough to learn lessons ,if necessary,the hard way. Right now,a Modi or a Rahul can well do without another wild and acrimonious winter session.
For its part,the AAP has to set about synchronising its party management and developing administrative skills to run even a small state like Delhi, should occasion ever arise. Mamata Di ,despite years of hard core politics, is struggling in W'Bengal despite an overwhelming mandate
