Double Edged Sword
Support among the family & relatives usually is selfless since it involves blood line. Support among friends is also selfless at times, since it involves emotion. Support among those who share a common ideology too is selfless. Since, good or bad, common ideology wipes out the mistakes done, and also can be hugely forgiving.
But, support from those sections who r not friends, not relatives, not family and not even of common ideology is like a double edged sword.
AAP came to power on the support base of Muslims, Christians, Naxal Sympathizers, Leftists, Pseudo Secularists, Pseudo Secular as well as highly corrupt Media and certain section of poor Hindus. All with diverse ideologies, needs & wants. And most importantly, all of them with radical thoughts, except the poor Hindu. All of them ready to run amok on the streets if slightly offended. Ample examples was the various and numerous street fights which the AAP supporters had with the BJP cadre in and around Delhi, in the past 1 and half year or so. Which was never the case between BJP and Congress supporters anywhere or any place in India.
This situation reminds me of a story:
Once there was a war between 2 Lions for supremacy over the jungle. Each time it was one lion of won. He was just, and had the support of the deer who were the majority in the jungle. The Hyenas, foxes, jackals & wolves who cud not target the deer as per their free will due to fear of this Lion king, put all their support behind his rival and encouraged him for another fight with the incumbent. All of them diverse. Each one hated the other due to common meat market, which was the deer. The Hyena hated the fox. The fox hated the jackal. The jackal hated the wolf, and so on. But, all of them came together to support the other Lion to defeat the incumbent. Lo and Behold! This lion won with their support.
But, the Lion who won and became King now, had a dilemma. Since, by default, he was king of the deer too who were 80% of the Jungle population. Does he protect them, as the previous King did, or shud he open them up to periodic attacks from his diverse range of carnivorous supporters?
If he chooses to be protective of the deer, then probably he will loose the support of his carnivorous supporters who might not again support him in his next fight with the previous King, who was bound to challenge him sooner or later. If he gives his supporters a free hand, it wud spell anarchy in the Jungle, and perhaps the previous King might summon up maximum support against him the next time.
This is the situation of Kejriwal now. Does he ignore the Hindu majority and pamper only those who supported him? And those who supported him wud be definitely looking to extract their price for support.
How is Kejriwal going to rule by ignoring the Hindu Majority and their aspirations. A majority who did not vote for him. This is something the whole world wud want to see, observe and watch. more

The article is good and well presented. This is learning for us. For want of winning one small election we cannot compromise on our ideal. We can not disown our own brothers who has supported the BJP under very adverse condition. For example in Tamilnadu murdering hindu outfit and BJP leaders like hindu munnani Mr.Vellayan at Rameswaram and Auditor Ramesh of BJP treasurer are routine. This should have been the case in our entire nation during the minority sympathetic Congress Government. I request Mr.Amit shah and the prime minister to treat local workers and leaders with dignity and respect all of them has come from our own shakha. Importing leaders is going todo more harm than good. Take the experience of Janata party. Who remained back with BJP RSS workers nad leaders. Prof,BJM more

Everybody ignoring the root cause of defeat. Ignoring Jolly, Goel, Harhbardhan or VK is not the cause of defeat. The main cause is that the comparison between 49 days of Kejiriwal's rule and 8 months BJP rule in centre. During that 49 days corruption had been totally stopped. In Delhi to construct own house people are paying bribe to Police and corporation staff and vegetable vendors are paying a lumpsum amount to police daily/weekly. But during that 49 days it had been stopped. Now BJP is in power in Delhi municipal corporation and is doing nothing to check corruption. It is a wake up call for the party to rectify itself and drive out the corrupt leaders from the party and restructure the organization. Other cause is personal attack on Kejiriwal which draws sympathy from public. more

Sir your observation is right, but we should manage such type of people by development and Chanakya neeti. If we are aggressive then more harm to BJP because in our country at least 25 % people are liberal. more

Good and true and that is what worries us. If to pull down some party all parties join together even they themselves are exterminated and not to mind their loss is simply to see the rival party's downfall. This exercise has incidentally become true in Delhi. But in other states the parties other than AAP who are gloating about will not like themselves to be decimated. Hence they will use press and use this specific voting outcome, just as Gujerat problem is always echoed again and again. Hence we have to be wary of this and calls for more discipline and silence added to proper governance of the whole country as the mandate has already been given. Delhi is a small place where the people are more concerned with local benefits and being in the vicinity of Indian governance would have voted for a new party where they could see new faces. This cannot be repeated in all places and as such of no concern. But if BJP shows any nervousness will only strengthen the opposition who will play this Delhi card along with the non-secular card which is aaalso told now and then abundantly in TV channels. more
