The Strength of AAP

In all the election mayhem and the after shocks, calculation, blames and feedback, there came a news while elections were going on, a Noida RTI activist was killed. The news got a usual (but not sufficient) coverage lived its short life and died down Soon it was forgotten and conviniently missed by many. However one remembered.

The first news I see of Arvind Kejriwal after elections results is :
Arvind Kejriwal meets wife of dead RTI activist in Greater Noida

Respect.

Many would say its a gimmick by Kejriwal but even if its gimmick its a valid one.

The news alone tells that what is the significance of AAP in the current politics of India. There are many important parts of poitics which are conviniently missed as boring but are important. AAP is capable of putting life in such important issues. They can bring the human heart in the politics.

As of present main stream media and politicians talk about a few of such important issues. Given there are limitaions for survival these issues take back seat. There are such issues in almost all walks Indian system, be it social development, environment, economy, governance, you name it. The politics of real and importnat issues should be AAP's direction.
