“AAP is like ‘Dashavatar'. In different states it can have different avatars,” Ramesh, who is a key Congress strategist, had said yesterday advising the political class “Don't make fun of them. Making fun of them would be proved wrong.”
Dwivedi, however, felt that it is “not wise” to come to any final conclusion about Arvind Kejriwal's party which had won only one state on corruption issue and was yet to deliver on its promises.
The Kejriwal government is dependent upon Congress support from outside. The AAP has announced that it will contest some 250 to 300 Lok Sabha seats and assembly elections in Congress-ruled Haryana. It has also announced its plans to put up party candidate against Rahul Gandhi.
There is also a view in the party that Congress had hastily announced its backing to AAP and it would have been better had it sat in the Opposition leaving the challenge of forming the government to AAP and BJP.
“We are passing through such a time. It is not wise to give a conclusion on anything concerning AAP. Right now they are a group of few people. They have raised an issue and the party was formed and it got support and they formed government in a state. The issue was corruption. This is an issue, which is like accepting that everyone should follow the right path, should not tell a lie, should not steal.
“Who can disagree with that?...People felt that that while everybody says this, nobody does it. They have raised a question on it and in response, they have got the support. It is another thing to get support by raising an issue, by raking up sentiment...but some system is needed even to run an arrangement,” Dwivedi said.
