AAP KICKSTARTS POLL CAMPAIGN, BJP LAGS, CONGRESS MISSING

THOUGH the Congress leadership has announced the end of its partnership with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Haryana and Delhi, it seems to be still going soft on the ruling party of the national Capital.

While the anger in the citizenry is tipping over the malgovernance manifested in civic miseries of the ongoing monsoon season, the Congress establishment doesn't seem to be engaging enough with the people on the issues.

The chore of taking the government to task on the issues has remained limited to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which too has remained restricted in its opposition to the ruling party through the press statements and protests inside the corporation house.

One is still to hear about a programme which could have created an impact, all programmes are just with an eye to the social media handles.

In the midst of the melee, when people pray for safety when the leave home for work, the conversations in the public transports, be it the jam-packed metros or the ramshackle buses, veers around to mourning the demise of Sheila Dikshit and how the city failed to take forward the legacy of development left behind by the late chief minister. This is true for the cabs and the autos too, where both the passengers and the drivers yearn for 'the good old times'.
