Stunning win for AAP in Delhi

I woke up today to the news of a stunning win for AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) in the Delhi Assembly Elections. They won 67 of the 70 seats. The rest 3 were won by BJP. Congress drew a blank. This is one of the most historic electoral wins in the history of modern India. People are now saying the this may now slow down the Modi led BJP juggernaut. Let see if that happens.

This is an extremely welcome development as BJP had virtually no opposition. The hardline 'Hindutva' forces were having a field day with such rediculous propositions as 'Ghar Wapsi'. Modi had turned a blind eye to them. Now the BJP top leadership will have to re-think this strategy.

Hopefully some of this will get replicated in other states.
