AAP’s Broom Sweeps Delhi Clean

Описание: Newsclick Interviewed Shankar Raghuraman, Associate Editor Times of India on Delhi Assemble results where Aam Aadmi Party created history by winning more than 95 % of the seats. Shankar explains that Delhi directly comes under the BJP led Centre government, which was not able to fulfill its promises that it made in 2014 Lok Sabha Polls. While other states like Jharkhand, Haryana had seen anti-incumbency against the ruling congress, Delhi witnessed 49 days performance of AAP, which created an alternative in front of the public. Shankar believes that the rhetoric of the Modi government and their pro corporate policies led to this decimation. On the question of AAP as an alternative at the national level, Shankar feels that it currently would focus on Delhi as the issues on which it fought elections are mainly Delhi-centric and hence may not have that much impact at the national level.
