” जो जीता…वही..सही “
- Living in age when Winning is Everything . It’s not enough to win but you have to keep on winning everytime. Life has become a game. That’s the reality of modern era where ordinary are doing extraordinary things. Whether you are a student, actor, businessmen, industrialist, artist or even politician. Cracking NEET/IIT/IAS exam, students have to study 24/7/365. Winning OSCAR for an actor/filmmaker require tenacity, consistency of high order. And the next most important area is politics and particularly in democratic countries like India where round the year election is the order of the day. Unless students of politics study and learn new skills, spread outreach, develop new approaches 24×7×365 days, they cannot succeed in the battle of ballots. This has been the biggest lessons of last 8 years where ruling party is much ahead of the curve than their opponents continuously. In the smart age of social media, you have to set an agenda, crate perception, build narrative and make people believe what you are doing is right. Whether you are right or not , let the posterity decide.

which PM also acknowledged. Why one party could retain UP despite incumbency while other could not do so in Punjab ? TOI in his editorial commented that Polls can be won via charisma, identity politics and welfarism. But can this be sustained minus job creation ? The Choice before the political parties is clear – go for welfarism and rank populism and win election or go for growth and employment via smart policies to crate jobs. Choosing the right alternative will decide the course of future India. India’s weakest link lies in it’s heterogeneous, complex social fabric. Forget 80/20, that might pay high dividends in the short run but even talking 99/1 will have disastrous consequences in the long run. - Punjab’s victory is shot in the arms for AAP, a political start-up started a decade ago. It’s definitely a watershed moment for them as far as their growth and future is concerned. It will be very challenging task for them to set Punjab Model like Delhi in governance. Slowly AK is emerging and evolving in very distinctive manner and opposition space is vacant to be filled up.
