The AAP propaganda

The AAP Propaganda

Mrs. Soni and Mrs. Geetha shared a cup of tea at the latter's residence on a balmy October evening. "My elbow pains" complained Mrs. Soni as she sipped.
Mrs. Geetha promptly enquired:
"Does it pain as I press on it?"
"Yes"
"Does it pain when I passively move your hand?"
"Yes"
"Hmm.. Does it pain when you try lift weights?"
"Oh God, yes! You know exactly what bothers me!" Said a delighted Mrs. Soni. Instantly their bond strengthened.

Understanding the issues that bother the person concerned is the basis of interpersonal relationships. It is also a sign of presence of a higher prevalence of a lesser variety of issues. It is also the foundation stone of the Aam Aadmi Party.

The AAP is more than a political party. It is a social experiment as to how the public unites in its grievances even under a leadership that shows less vision and more propaganda.
'Tact' , after all, is the necessity of success of any group activity.

While the AAP successfully showcased the power of democracy, the gullibility of youth and the dynamism of interpersonal relationship, it also highlighted, in the end, the necessity of a leader who not only understands the issues but also possesses the vision to address the same.

In speaking about our major grievances Mr. Kejriwal did indeed create a strong bond with the masses, especially the youth, however one must always remember that speaking of the symptoms does not make one a doctor. To heal, one needs  to 'know how to'. The major problem with the AAP is that although they are very efficient in 'pointing out' problems, they have no clue as to how to address it. It is not the ailment affecting a particular member of the party but it is a general attitude or the modus operandi of the party itself to the extent that pointing out what is wrong with the world seems to have become their bread and butter.

In fact it is sad that the very promising party even now, talks about requiring a "suitable language to HIGHLIGHT THE PROBLEMS". It is fair that a group of activists demand a government that is free from " corruption and crony-capitalism" but that does not mean neglecting governance in toto.
If it is "trying to find holes in Modi's rhetoric" the party is not only harming the positive atmosphere that has blanketed the country after what seems as eras of unrest and dissatisfaction, it is also  creating hurdles in some real, slow and steady but definitely long term and stable development.

Although the young blood is, at times easily driven by propaganda, the youth has definitely learnt to not only see the issues raised by a party but also to fully know their plan to rectify those issues as after all development in the name of development is an eye wash that the liberal minded and forward looking youth has learnt to see beyond, the hard way.
