THE great thing about the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leadership is that in the worst of the situations, they find reasons to celebrate. Like in the just concluded assembly polls in the states of Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir. Through the campaign party's founder Arvind Kejriwal projected himself as 'Haryana ka beta' (son of Haryana).
This did not cut much ice with the voters. The party got thrashed miserably in the polls with nothing much to write home about. But Kejriwal found a window to escape embarrassment, the victory of a lone AAP candidate Mehraj Malik from Doda seat. The AAP brass celebrated Malik's victory in Delhi, with party Chief Arvind Kejriwal hailing it as a "grand win against the BJP". It's another matter that his party actually faced a grand rout from the BJP in his home state of Haryana.
