AAP - Big bang and evolution

The birth of the Universe might be  credited to the Big Bang, but political entities of import across the world,have taken an aeon to fruition from germination.The modern day exception the AAP, was born   overnight from movement hardly a year old.Not having evolved from a classic  embryo ,it has still to acquire the  instincts of survival .Still  to outgrow its baby vestments, it  is compelled to don   robes of wisdom.Delhi ,a urban megalith with pretenses to being a State ,may serve as a safe cocoon for a politically green AAP,but the LS elections is threatening to expose it to highly inclement weather.The AAP having heavily underlined  its contours  with anti corruption pen,finds it now difficult to significantly add either depth or content in order  to present a more larger and balanced profile for itself.The cohesion it found in launching its movement, is eluding it  in managing a party and  perhaps could even be lost in running a government.Its experiences in urban management thus far may not be replicated on a pan- Indian canvas, given the sheer size.It is already into contradictions over economic or issues of national security,  In a  time compression to don national colours and as the AAP is  flooded with men and women of all strata and tenets,the ambiguities can only increase.Political acumen is not known to be bestowed at birth but earned the hard way, over time.
