A ray of hope in Indian Democracy.

After the shocking performance by the UPA-2 government on all front, with great hope the people of this country elected BJP and it's leader Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India. Citing that the Modi govt. has performed excellently well in Gujrat on economic front , and BJP was the only strong opposititon of congress at the national level, the people of the country overwhelmingly supported Modi for the Prime Ministerial post. We expected quick policy decisions by the government which could improve state of the economy which is happening. But what Mr. Modi is only focussing about is building a robust relationship with the neighbours and the foreign countries. It seems like the government has completely forgotten about the problems of the common man. Their problem is inflation, corruption, education, health-care etc. , but the govt. is not considering even an iota about these problems. The budget spending allocated to the MNREGA was  cut down. The educational budget and funding of the IIT was also cut down. This is unreasonable and doesn't make any sense.

As the beauty of Democracy is that the people get chance to teach the lesson very soon, the people got it in Delhi and shown their displeasure with the Modi Government. While we can't say it was a referendum on modi government considering the populist election agenda by the AAP, but decimation of BJP shows it was not just only Kejriwal factor. There must have been something negative about the government in the mind of the people. 

SO, after UPA and NDA failure to fulfill the aspirations of 1.2 billion people of the country, the emergence of AAP is a ray of hope for the Indian Democracy. Though the populist measures like free water and electricity at half prices seems unsustainable, let's see how the AAP led government fulfill their Promises. Though the promises done by the AAP doesn't look practically viable, it is certainly the duty of the government to make it viable and turn this ray of hope into a full glown sunlight to enlighten the India socially, economically and politically.
