In­di­a’s wait for Delhi Leg­isla­tive As­sem­bly re­sults to see the vic­tory of peo­ple’s is­sues against the di­vi­sive pol­i­tics of hate and fas­cism is over. AAP has trounced BJP and it is down to sin­gle dig­its again. WSN Desk team­mate Gurmeet Singh, who keeps a keen eye on po­lit­i­cal de­vel­op­ments in the coun­try, con­grat­u­lates the Aam Aadmi Party for its stel­lar per­for­mance and pre­dicts doom for the Bharatiya Janata Party, even be­fore the 2024 gen­eral elec­tions.

DELHI HAS DE­FEATED FAS­CISM WHICH WAS SPREAD­ING ITS TEN­TA­CLES. PRIDE HATH ITS FALL. Delhi de­feated the Union cab­i­net of In­dia in In­di­a’s de jure cap­i­tal New Delhi and the de facto cap­i­tal at Nag­pur.

BJP had their stal­warts -their so­cial, eco­nomic, po­lit­i­cal and bu­reau­cratic pow­ers on roads, where the likes of Amit Shah, JP Nadda, Sm­riti Irani, were seen dis­trib­ut­ing pam­phlets. This is not nor­mal for an ar­ro­gant party which is too ego­is­tic of their rule and don’t care about oth­ers. They wanted to win back Delhi af­ter 21 years, how­ever, they will have to wait for God alone knows how many more years.

The dreams of the hate mer­chants have been crushed. This dy­namic win both in terms of seats and vote share will be a bench­mark for other state gov­ern­ments to fol­low, just as Jharkhand’s He­mant Soren is al­ready at­tempt­ing to im­i­tate AAP’s model of ed­u­ca­tion and health re­form in Delhi.

Jamia, JNU, Sha­heen Bagh and Gargi have de­feated the ped­dlers of bul­lets and the Saf­fron ide­ol­ogy. Even the bla­tant vi­o­la­tion of the Model Code of Con­duct while de­clar­ing the for­ma­tion of the Ay­o­d­hya Tem­ple Trust could not help the BJP. The Delhi voter has slapped the goon­das in uni­form and the lumpens in plain­clothes with­out it also to beat young stu­dents within col­lege li­braries, on the streets and with­ing cam­puses.

Jamia, JNU, Sha­heen Bagh and Gargi have de­feated the ped­dlers of bul­lets and the Saf­fron ide­ol­ogy. 

Delhi has pro­claimed loud and clear that those who are anti-CAA are not anti-na­tion­als as show­cased by the BJP, but are true cit­i­zens and the peo­ple have com­pre­hen­sively en­dorsed the right to dis­sent.

The cur­rent of Sha­heen Bagh was stronger than the hul­la­bal­loo of Amit Shah. The In­dian Home Min­is­ter must eat hum­ble pie, which he al­ready is do­ing, as he is not on any TV screen and the new in­cum­bent pres­i­dent of the Bharatiya Janata Party -JP Nadda is bear­ing the brunt of the de­feat. Manoj Ti­wari is wait­ing to rel­ish the Biryani of Sha­heen Bagh to see if that can help to tide away from the hurt caused by this mas­sive elec­toral loss. Tajin­der Pal Singh Bagga -the blue-eyed boy of In­dian Prime Min­is­ter Naren­dra Modi is per­haps plan­ning to join the Air Force to learn how to con­duct sur­gi­cal strikes -this time not at Sha­heen Bagh but on the con­duct of his party.

The cur­rent of Sha­heen Bagh was stronger than the hul­la­bal­loo of Amit Shah.

Jar­nail Singh from Tilak Na­gar and Prahlad Singh Sawh­ney from Chandni Chowk are the two AAP can­di­dates who have won giv­ing some hold to the Sikhs of Delhi to fall back upon in the face of the to­tally anti-Sikh stance of Man­jin­der Singh Sirsa and Man­jit Singh GK, who did not con­test any seat but gave sup­port to the BJP on a plat­ter, with no po­lit­i­cal give and take. The vic­tory of Amanat­ul­lah Khan from the Okhla seat in the Sha­heen Bagh area will lead the Mus­lims of In­dia away from the BJP lock, stock and bar­rel.

The idea of Sha­heen Bagh has won over the idea of a re­li­gious di­vide of the BJP. The count­down to In­di­a’s free­dom from fas­cism has be­gun.

The BJP cam­paigned for the pro­tec­tion of Hin­dus, an anti-Mus­lim agenda, rhetoric against Pak­istan, false pro­pa­ganda against AAP and other par­ties. AAP fo­cused its work in the fields of ed­u­ca­tion, health and fa­cil­i­ties for the com­mon man of Delhi.

In this bit­terly fought elec­tion, though the Elec­tion Com­mis­sion of In­dia did ban the likes of UP chief min­is­ter Yogi Adityanath, BJP Mem­ber Par­lia­ment Parvesh Verma for a few days, its weak­ness be­came ap­par­ent for not ini­ti­at­ing le­gal pro­ceed­ings against their sick­en­ing, ra­bidly com­mu­nal di­a­tribe.

As for the BJP, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men could not put Humpty-Dumpty to­gether again.

Aam Aadmi Par­ty’s suc­cess de­serves praise. Their work for the com­mon man has won over the hate pol­i­tics of the right-wing BJP. They have, how­ever yet to evolve a se­ri­ous po­lit­i­cal plat­form in the face of mega-crises, be it Kash­mir or even Sha­heen Bagh.
