Dear Arvind,
Thank You. "Thank You" for so many things. "Thank You" for the hope that you ignited among millions. For the hope that politics can no more be of few privileged or crooks. First time in the Indian political arena you have shown it can be fought on white money, candidate can be selected with no money and muscle power. "Hope" that fight be fought on Issue not on Individual, fight on system-change than vote bank politics. "Corruption" which became part of DNA, people started challenging the fact. I know there are many, who might be thinking million times before offering a bribe like me. It will not make life of receiver life any more easy as well for years to come.
During, Anna agitation, I was impressed by the simplicity you are explaining the laws, how things can be implemented. I was more than happy after few failed attempts of hunger strike which didn't pull the crowd the way it did in first place, you decided to form political party. I always knew Good politics is answer to bad politics, than No politics. To the miss-fortune of this country good decision were taken by accidents. Before election if we talk about pay commission, or welfare programme we know that where exactly it is targeting to. So its not always shouting from the sideline helps, for any correction in the government, where it needs a complete overhauling. We need a huge change in the system in terms of re-definition of democracy, at-least the way it is practised, judicial reform, citizen charter and the list can go on and on and on.
I know, AAP can change the rule of the game. Which it shown a trailer in Delhi election. It can no more be hindu-muslim divide, it certainly can't be free cash, liquor, TV, or free goodies. Here in Singapore in the national rally (annual day) where PM disclose the plan for 2030, our window limited to a year-on-year or maximum five years. We decide our policy on the basis where we get our vote most, which can't be the game any more. So "Thank you" for that. We have not seen tomorrow. We don't know what will happen to the party, but we know the impact it left on the millions of voters, thousands of politicians that idealism cant be ignored. If you see the dream with sincerity "सारे काइनात उससे मिलाने की कोसिश में लग जाती है " and I am sure people will not afraid to see the dream, no matter how idealistic or unrealistic it looks like. It will provide nice ingredients for hours of discussion, number churning, statistical analysis tomorrow for news channel, but I know the impact it created is far beyond numbers, beyond TV-room discussion. It is on the way to set a new trend in coming future.
I am little dis-hearten by the figure of exit poll, though still optimistic. But even if things doesn't go the way we think it should, we have a long long way to go. I still remember when Malaysia disowned Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, just cried in a press conference. Secluded himself for few days as he was not sure how he will manage the small place. But he changed the whole scenario. Same applies for David Ben-Gurion of Israel, converting the desert into one of the fastest growing country. I as a volunteer assure you no matter if election has to be fought on above issue, you have my financial, emotional and physical support. For the sake of country we can fight the battle again and again.
Thanks Again for re -kindling the hope.
