Breaking #delhi assembly elections 2015 #arvind kejriwal #aap #bjp Jaideep Karnik, IBNLive.com | Feb 10, 2015 at 06:08pm IST
New Delhi: Tuesday, 10th February 2015 , around 8.30 AM in the morning. AAP head office at Patel Nagar, Delhi. All set for the big day for Delhi results. Exit polls had already set the mood and tone for what was about to come. No wonders AAP volunteers were busy decorating the office and the courtyard with balloons and all area carpeted. With AAP volunteers gathering in numbers and the AAP 'topi' visible almost everywhere. A small group of youngsters was just busy with their dance. One of the TV correspondent posted there called one of the dancing youngster. Without stopping his well-choreographed and rehearsed steps, he comes forward to answer the question. The correspondent asked, what you are doing is "Kejriwal Dance", right? The youngster immediately replied - No this is DOD sir. DOD? What's that? That is the Dance Of Democracy. We have been doing all along, cheering - 5 Saal Kejriwal.
Yes, that is the dance of democracy which not only Delhi but the whole nation witnessed. Democracy in its fullest and loudest form. The churn that is required. Power of peoples verdict to which everyone needs to bow down to. Democracy has shown what kind of leveler it is. This same democracy allowed a 'Chaiwala' to become the prime minister of India and the same democracy has given the opportunity to this AAM Admi to become CM for the second time, this time with a mandate and margin nobody could have ever imagined. What an IITian startup he created this - Aam Admi Party!!
Well, while we all must clap, pat and celebrate this victory and enjoy the dance of democracy, we must not take our eye away from some of the hard facts. BJP got almost the same percentage vote that it got in December 2013. So no committed BJP voter shifted since then. Yes, the voter base increased during Lok Sabha elections for BJP, it was 44 per cent. This is the same floating voter who decisively wanted to see Mr. Narendra Modi as prime minister and they just did it. It was 7-0 clean sweep for BJP. The same voter was again very decisive about seeing Kejriwal as the Chief Minister and they have done it again. The biggest loser is, off course Congress whose committed voter has now converted into a floating vote. This same voter has kept congress and Shiela Dixit in power for 15 years. These voters now do not go by party diktats. This is floating and mature vote. To woo this voter is the biggest challenge as they have shown what they can do - 67 - 03, in favor of someone who was written off in May 2014.
With AAP volunteers gathering in numbers and the AAP 'topi' visible almost everywhere.
This sheer power of democracy needs to be cheered and danced along. The voter is getting mature every day. I still remember what one auto driver Uttam Singh, who is from Bihar but is a Delhi resident for past 10 years now told me in December 2013 - Sahab desh ke liye Modi aur Dilli ke liye Kejriwal jaroori hai (Modi is good for the nation and Kejriwal is much needed for Delhi). Now all those who had similar thoughts have actually made this dream a reality. Hope we have the 'Achchey Din' for India and Delhi both. Today, let the democracy dance. to the music and rhythm of - 5 Saal Kejriwal.

Let's celebrate this dance of democracy
THAIS CANNOT co-exist if they reject the new charter, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha warned yesterday after reporters asked what would happen if the majority found the new junta-sponsored constitution unacceptable.
The response came as Prayut tried to reassure the public that nothing in the draft charter is written in stone, including the article allowing for a non-MP to become prime minister and a fully selected Senate.
"If it's not accepted, then people cannot co-exist. It's up to them if they don't want to stay in their country," he said, adding that Thailand should not fall into what he calls a "democracy trap".
Prayut's remark came amid complaints that the new charter was not democratic.
"Don't forget that there's no such thing as a 100-per-cent democracy. We must look comprehensively when we talk about democracy. I see some institutions teaching people to be democratic, but what is democracy without notions like rights, liberty and duty? All these are necessary," the prime minister stressed.
Prayut said the draft charter would be reviewed again, adding that he was closely following the work of the Constitution Drafting Committee and hoped that some drafters would speak less in public so they did not stir up political divisions.
'It may be necessary'
As for the option of allowing a non-MP to become prime minister, he said this might be necessary to break a future political impasse. However, he denied this clause was part of a scheme to let some figures close to the current administration take over.
An unelected PM "cannot just be appointed. Under normal circumstances the person will come through the selection process in the House of Representatives But if the country cannot be governed and there's a need to seek an outsider as prime minister to help the country move forward temporarily, then it is a solution," he said.
"I will look at the [draft charter] together with the Cabinet," he said, as sentiment against the draft, which is seen by critics as undemocratic, is growing. "Do not worry as to how the charter will turn out. Instead, worry about who will become candidates for the next government."
