Aam Admi Party and Nav Bharat Party a ray of hope for NEW INDIA


Several new political parties are being ready to contest next Loksabha elections of India. No doubt every party claims that they will win considerable seats. Every party has its own reasons for their success in politics. What happens to other parties we will see later on. However, two new political parties that people of this country should support in forthcoming elections are Aam Admi Party (AAP) and Nav Bharat Party (NBP) .because both of these are founded by good people  and have support of icons of India.

AAP is founded by none other than Arvind Kejariwal, Prashant Bhushan, and Manish sisodia and has support of number of civil society members and successful businesspersons. While NBP is founded by successful entrepreneurs like Shankar Muruwada,Amarnath kamath, Sheila Premkumar , Ranjit jatar and several others and has support of several icons of India. NBP's vision is to ‘renew and re-energize’ India and target segment is 63 JNNURM cities and young and educated voter.AAP's vision is to realise e dream of SWARAJ that Gandhiji had envisaged for a free India - where the power of governance and rights of democracy will be in the hands of the people of India and their target is also young Voters.

AAP says they have entered politics to change the current corrupt and self-serving system of politics forever. It also feel that timing for entering in to politics right because for the past few years millions of common Indians came out on streets to fight against the biggest evil in our country today - corruption. NBP feels that there is Wide-spread frustration with corruption and mis-governance and they are sure of success because the voter in their  target segments is educated youth and informed citizens they can mobilize power of Media.

Both the parties have almost same goals, they are entered into politics because of same reasons, even their target voter is also almost same.Then why these parties are contesting elections separately? .Their candidate selection process and code of conduct is also almost same. I am afraid due to a selection process they may be relying on same candidates in many constituencies.

Earlier also several civil societies and groups have tried their luck in politics but failed because due to filters they put in selection process for candidates were so strict and self-contradictory. These two parties are making same mistakes .AAP is taking affidavits from candidates that he/she will not use beacon car, will not take big house, will not take security etc. All these three thing are very good .But why take affidavits? Don't you believe in your own candidates? If candidate disobeys code of conduct then every party has power to expel him/her from party. I think taking such affidavits for behavior gives a wrong impression about party.A political party has to  support - believe in their own candidates.

NBP says candidate will give hundred per cent time for his constituency, means he/she should not do any other job. Then what about his /her livelihood? Further it expects candidate to indemnify NBP both financially and non-financially for any act of disobedience, indiscipline, hate-speech, etc. How a person who does nothing for livelihood could indemnify financially for anything? .On the other hand, if candidate indemnifies financially is he /she free for defection? .These type of conditions make feel a candidate insecure. No other political party takes such type of indemnity bonds or affidavits from candidates' . Let us hope that both the parties will make necessary changes in their policies and instead of insecurity take steps to enhance confidence in their candidates. It's true that both these parties are different from other political parties in many ways. However, being different should not mean being suspicious about own candidates .

People of India have great faith in the mentors behind both these parties. If these parties contest elections together it will be well and good, if that is not possible for any reason at least they should contest some seats mutually. That will help in sending at least some good people in parliament. Otherwise as usual good and wise people will contest elections against each other and visionaries of both these parties will be engaged in studying possible reasons of defeat.

  1. In India to win election there are many factors .Corruption is not only one factor in front of Aam Adami. People of India till date not having faith on both of these parties and nearly 60% of people never heard about this party. Both of these parties presently not have basic infrastructure of supporter. I think they will not able to contest election in all constituencies.

  2. Shri Kumbhar Sir,
    Your contribution to Pune city is invaluable. But beware of Kejariwal’s AAP. It’s same like proposed NA plot scheme. Party without concert plan & objectives.
    1. The Lokpal bill had lot of lacunas; ok there was some action against corruption so people supported it.
    2. Without any central control & discipline, AAP can’t achieve anything for country. In fact it will take few years to organize themselves than to contribute towards country.
    3. AAP & NBP have not yet came with agenda or plan which have identified the root cause of issues & action plan on it.
