The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) made a meteoric rise in Delhi’s political landscape, symbolized by its iconic ‘broom’ election symbol, which promised to sweep away corruption and inefficiency. Under the charismatic leadership of Arvind Kejriwal, AAP resonated with the capital’s residents, leading to landslide victories and consecutive terms in office.
The party’s popularity was fueled by grassroots campaigns, innovative governance models, and a strong focus on public welfare. Kejriwal’s direct engagement with the people earned him widespread trust. However, as time passed, cracks began to show in AAP’s governance.
Critics pointed to allegations of internal rifts, mismanagement, and a growing perception of political opportunism. The party’s inability to sustain its promise of clean politics led to a decline in public support. Opposition parties capitalized on these weaknesses, gradually reclaiming their ground in Delhi.
The fall of AAP serves as a reminder of the political adage — winning power may be easier than retaining it. As Delhi’s political tide shifts, the journey of AAP remains a fascinating chapter in Indian politics, marked by both triumphs and turbulence.
