Why AAP is the only viable alternative for India

Editor's note: This is a reader comment we received on the article "AAP poised for a second coming, but it still has its strategy wrong". As is Firstpost policy, we have lightly edited for grammar and spelling, but the comment has been left as isBy ank123When you say viable alternative, I don't see any alternative other than AAP. The alternatives we have — the BJP and the Congress — are proven incompetent and/or thieves. When the existing alternatives are sinking the ship, even a small boat is a life boat.[caption id="attachment_1491417" align="alignleft" width="380"] AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal.

People are dying by the millions due to diseases, pollution and poverty. We are living in sub-African conditions! This is happening after nearly 70 years of freedom! How much more time do BJP and Congress need?Some people say that the BJP hasn't yet got much opportunity to be in power. The BJP has been in power in a number of states and at various levels such as municipalities. Their records may be slightly better than the Congress, but that is only slightly. The country by-and-large continues to live in filth — literally and figuratively. Even Gujarat, and even if you believe the BJP, is only marginally better than the rest of India. That's why I say that BJP's and Congress's leadership is proven not to work.The capable team that you see with the BJP are, in reality, only capable when it comes to serving their own self-interests. The problem is not that they are not dudh ke dhule, they are all outright robbers!
