Political parties in Maharashtra stumped by AAP, or is it?

What appears on the superficial level may be far from reality The inclusion of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) might have created a political stir in the whole country. New Delhi’s CM Arvind Kejriwal has taken everyone by surprise, by leaving his counterparts behind. Only if Kejriwal could span out its reach, across all parts of the country. The political parties and pundits in India have clearly been stumped and are chalking out new measures, to party their party ahead of others. The race for the 2014 PM Elections in India was anybody’s game, until Kejriwal got himself amidst controversies; the latest one related to the Chief Justice of the high Court, Somnath Bhadri.

We are still into the early days of the scheduled PM elections and probably, it is too early to write any political party off. Supporters rooting for Modi or Rahul Gandhi have a few more options at their disposal. Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party is hogging away the limelight, with its activities. However, many believe that Kejriwal is into his honeymoon period, which should not be lasting long. However, you cannot predict anything, when it comes to the Indian politics.

Jitendra Ahwad, MLA from Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), said, "In politics, you can never take anyone lightly. I can't say what impact AAP will have in future but political parties will have to be prepared. We (NCP) will also have to work hard and do a lot of ground work for the 2014 elections." The big news from the Maharashtra based party is that its Chief Sharad Pawar would not be contesting for the Lok Sabha elections. The NCP Leader Praful Patel, could be shouldering the onus of most of the decisions and actions that the party is going to take in the near future. Praful Patel contributions across his constituencies of Gondia and Bhandara has had a reasonable impact. His party, due to his administrative and managerial skills, has now announced Pawar, who used to call the shots for the NCP as a probable PM candidate.

The political hoopla of India keeps getting interesting, by the day. For now, let us all hope that may the best man be in command of his countrymen, by the end of the 2014 PM elections. Certainly not, it isn’t too much to ask for!
