Patience in politics-A virtue

A fledgling AAP had captured the imagination of people with a  cache of 28 seats in Delhi and the electorate had exulted at its  vicarious empowerment against  entrenched polity . Be it just 49 days, but citizens of Delhi had savoured the power of their franchise. So has Punjab in the recent LS polls.Our much flaunted democratic ethos may yet be diffident to encourage fresh entrants to politics that has remained a prisoner to the close knit coterie of political entities that had been  laying sole claim to represent people.The embers of the Kejri movement has since wafted to occupy peoples cerebral podium from the noise and dust of  street platforms . The AAP  ought to realise this and must firstly believe in itself and  that its embers may not die easily and could   flame any time, with or without Kejriwal and his miscalculations / idiosyncrasies, in the hands of a mature electorate.Seeding peoples empowerment  has been no mean achievement for a small group of determined men and women in the space of just  two years.The BJP with all its Jan Sangh pedigree of 1951,had won just 2 seats  as a distinct political entity in 1984. It has had a long wait to  climb the peak in 2014.Politics takes its own time even as parties old and new,are as impatient.
