AAP -Quintessential anti establishment

AAP may ride on the popular movement for anti corruption and make a dent at the national level . The irony with urban voters is that they hate corruption in others but turn a blind eye when it comes to their aid. Be that it may be, the point is, almost always these movements as was the JP Narayan's, as was the marxist movement , were all started by very honest and ethical people who were also simple to boot ,but it almost appears axiomatic that honesty and ethics can be associated only with socialism and not with Capitalism. The belief amonst them is that you cant be honest if you are selfish and capitalism is nothing but selfishness.

The urban voters, especially the ones whose life has improved significantly post economic reforms , want political honesty and ethics in public life but am sure that they would realise that they want liberal economic policies also .AAP 's rise , the biggest casualty is going to be the economy.
They have raised aam aadmi expectations so much ( they are also convinced about it ) that there would be requests for wage hikes.permanency, free water ,electricity, reservations etc, a trap of populism Just see the compensation of Rs 1 Cr to the police constable, his family has our sysmpathy but the Rs 1 Cr is setting a bad precedent.

AAP will only make sure that we have a hung parliament and India can forget the years.
No denying that we need honesty and ethics amongst political class but that need not be at the cost of larger economic welfare.AAP is a party which would do well to be in oppn to keep the ruling class in check but as part of Government, it could be a disaster for the country
