Reasons why AAP perfromed dramatically in Delhi Elections 2013?

(1) It was born out of anti corruption movement. Arvind Kejriwal was arrested during movement. He exposed so much scams. He dared to expose Robert Vadra, son in law of Sonia Gandhi. He dared to expose scam of Nitin Gadkari. That's why he became hero.
(2) Use of social media extensively. Infact, they used social media as tool from day one and response to Jan Lokpal movement was big due to socia media.
(3) Connected youth. Its founders are all youth, be it Arvind Kejriwal or Manish Sisodia or charming Shazia Ilmi. They appealed to youth. They attracted new age bollywood people like Vishal Dadlani and MTv host Rajeev Laxman.
(4) Founder is with mission. Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia left lucrative jobs like IRS and journalist to fight against corruption. They became ideals. While in other parties, no persons are there who can become ideals. In Congress and BJP, there were such leaders like Lal Bahadur Shastri and Kushabhau Thakre, but at present there is no one.
(5) They raised those issues which no other parties cared about. Congress and BJP both had match fixing like situation in Delhi and at center. Price rise, high power bill, water scarcity were the main issues, but Congress didn't care to solve it. BJP didn't oppose effectivley. Had it not declared Dr. Harshwardhan as CM candidate, BJP could not have become single largest party.
(6) Selection of candidates. They choose candidate having common man background. Like Jarneil Singh who threw shoe at P. Chidambaram. Journalistd Jarnail Singh asked Chidambaram how Jagdish Tytler got clean chit from CBI in 1984 anti sikh riots, after Chidambaram didn't give satisfactory answer, he threw shoe at him. Voters elected him. This shows how much anger is there in public. AAP also selected commando who got injured in 26 November attack on Mumbai. 

Journey of news

I completed two years successfully as News Editor in Gujarat Samachar on this 16th August. It was like dream came true as working in newspaper which I have been reading since teenage. It was 16th august when I joined Gujarat Samachar. Though I had short experience as incharge of front page in Saurastra Samachar it was really big responsibility given by Shree Sreyansh Shah as looking after front page and other national-international news pages of Numero Uno newspaper. From day one my test begun and test paper was hard as Anna Hazare movement was beginning on that day.
Two years were full of events such as -withdrawing support by Trinamool congress, Ramdev’s agitation in Ramlila maidan, sensational exposures by Kejriwal, president election of Bharat/USA, bomb blasts in Delhi/hyderabad, voting on FDI, Gujarat/UP/Himachal/Karnataka election, scams such as coal gate/telecom/railway bribery/alleged army revolt after Makar Sankranti, conflict between army head V K Singh and defence minister A K Antony, Mumbai blasts 1993 case order by supreme court, execution of death penalty to Kasab/Afzal Guru, China incursion, Pakistan army aggression, autonomy of CBI (famous observation of supreme court- caged parrot), conflict between supreme and parliament on disqualification of convicted legislators, fight between Gujarat govt and governor on appointment of lokayukta, emergence of Narendra Modi/Rahul Gandhi as superior leader in BJP/Congress, fall of indian rupee, Europe economic crisis (Greece,  Cyprus, Britain), Higgs Boson particle confirmation, Rover Mars mission, disasters such as Sandy in US, Uttarakhand floods, earthquake in Sikkim…and so on.
Witnessed demises of Steve Jobs, Dev Anand (I got byline for article on Dev which is rare in Gujarat Samachar) , Yash Chopra, Rajesh Khanna, Jagjit Singh, Dara Singh, Pt. Ravishankar, Pran.
It was most momerable movement for me when I got pet on back by Shree Sreyansh Shah for special pages sp. for Higgs Boson page and Pran.
I feel very much happy when Gujarat Samachar exclusively made lead story of Pranav Mukherjee declaring as president candidate (even when Congress was thinking over Hamid Ansari) and decision of announcement of Telangana as separate state.
There were ofcourse underestimates by me. At first instance,  I could not imagine Kingfisher airlines crisis and Uttarakhand flood would blow out of proportion.
Journey of great learning and  satisfaction is still on. Very much happy for contributing like squirrel in Gujarat Samachar’s success.
