Protests today erupted in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh area, which was a key centre of a prolonged agitation against the Citizenship Amendment Act in 2019-20, as hundreds of people opposed the local civic body’s anti-encroachment drive armed with bulldozers in presence of heavy police deployment.
THE Aam Aadmi Party became the great white hope of Indian democracy in February when it stopped the Modi juggernaut in Delhi with a spectacular election victory.
WHEN movements convert themselves into political parties they lose their original shape.
Indian anti-corruption party AAP has sidelined two of its founder members after feuding and infighting following its victory in Delhi's state election.
IN a spectacular and dramatic turn of events little known Aam Admi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal has trounced formidable Narendra Modi's BJP. In the 70-seat Delhi Assembly election, AAP secured 67 seats. BJP managed only 3 seats. Congress which had ruled Delhi for 15 years scored a duck. Delhi is a Union territory, with the status of a state. It has its own government.
THE beauty of ballot is there's always another day for the loser, or a quitter as in the case of Aam Admi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal.
IT is, indeed, instructive to analyse why the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) was decimated at the polls in Delhi.
